Interpretation : Hypotheses are developed before experiments are to be inferred.
Concept Introduction : One of the vital steps in the scientific method is a hypothesis.
Answer to Problem 21LC
A hypothesis should be developed before experiments take place because only then the experiment will confirm or disconfirm the hypothesis and determines whether there is a need for a new hypothesis.
Explanation of Solution
One of the vital steps in the scientific method is a hypothesis.
A hypothesis is a theory put up to explain an observable.
Only if it explains what is really witnessed is it valuable.
The hypothesis must be modified when experimental data does not support it.
Before an experiment is conducted, a hypothesis should be formulated since the purpose of the experiment is to confirm or disprove the hypothesis and to determine whether a new hypothesis is necessary.

- need help not sure what am doing wrong step by step please answer is 971A During the lecture, we calculated the Debye length at physiological salt concentrations and temperature, i.e. at an ionic strength of 150 mM (i.e. 0.150 mol/l) and a temperature of T=310 K. We predicted that electrostatic interactions are effectively screened beyond distances of 8.1 Å in solutions with a physiological salt concentration. What is the Debye length in a sample of distilled water with an ionic strength of 10.0 µM (i.e. 1.00 * 10-5 mol/l)? Assume room temperature, i.e. T= 298 K, and provide your answer as a numerical expression with 3 significant figures in Å (1 Å = 10-10 m).arrow_forwardInfluence of salt concentrations on electrostatic interactions 2 Answer is 2.17A why not sure step by step please What is the Debye length in a concentrated salt solution with an ionic strength of 2.00 mol/l?
