Question
Chapter 1, Problem 8A
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The steps that scientists use to solve problems needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction: Chemistry is a fundamental science that investigates and studies molecules. In chemistry, the scientific method is a systematic way of collecting evidence to support theories/ concepts.In scientific disciplines, the term “model”, “experiment”, “observation”, “theory” and “law” holds different meanings of phenomena.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 8A
The steps are Identify the problem, form a hypothesis, test it, analyze the data, and communicate the results.
Explanation of Solution
Problem-solving skills are the standard expression of human thinking. Ability to solve a problem is important in every field of study, not just in chemistry. Problem-solving skills involve analytical, mental, and critical thinking skills to reach to the solutions. Understanding how to set up the problem is just as important as the process. For example: While solving a problem, knowledge of which equation to solve first is extremely important.
The steps that scientists use to solve problems are mentioned below:
Step 1: Identify the problem.
Step 2: Form a hypothesis.
Step 3: By conducting an experiment,test the hypothesis.
Step 4: Analyze the data.
Step 5: Communicate the results.
Conclusion
Chemistry is not something that can simply be memorized. Being able to solve question allows one to get solution to that question. For example, knowing what units’ variables need to be for equations.
