Question
Chapter 1, Problem 9ALQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation : The reason of the debate amongst scientists,if all of them are using scientific methods needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction :
The scientific method has been used since modern science history. It is a way of creating science and knowledge and separates from guesses, myths or any other misleading explanation of nature.
The scientific method depends on several steps which can determine the decision.

- 10.00 g of Compound X with molecular formula C₂Hg are burned in a constant-pressure calorimeter containing 40.00 kg of water at 25 °C. The temperature of the water is observed to rise by 2.604 °C. (You may assume all the heat released by the reaction is absorbed by the water, and none by the calorimeter itself.) Calculate the standard heat of formation of Compound X at 25 °C.
