Question
Chapter 2, Problem 49E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
An experiment for determining the maximum temperature around the year, along with a graph based on it, is to be represented.
Concept Introduction:
Graphs are used to depict the change in one quantity per unit to another quantity, taken from the set of data. These are easy to analyze and provide a clear picture of the scenario.
In graphs, one of the quantities is plotted on the y-axis and is termed as dependent variable. The other quantity is plotted on the x-axis and is called independent variable. The change in the dependent variable is dependent on the change in the independent variable.
A graph can be used to calculate the various trends which occur in that quantity over a certain period of observations. For example, decrease or increase, average decrease or increase and percentage increase or decrease etc.

In the course of a conversation, you observe that three of your friends like horror movies. Horror movies happen to be your favorite type of movie as well. You also know
that all of these friends were born in the same week that you were, even in the same year.
An astrology-loving friend hypothesizes that people born in that week like horror movies more than other genres of movies. You decide to use the scientific method to test
this hypothesis.
Part A
What should you do next?
O Come up with a theory to explain why movie preference is related to birth week.
O Perform experiments to test your hypothesis.
O Propose several alternative hypotheses.
O Refine your hypothesis.

- As stated in the text, there is no one scientific method. However, making observations, formulating hypotheses, and performing experiments are generally components of “doing science.” Read the following passage, and list any observations, hypotheses, and experiments. Support your answer. Joyce and Frank arc eating raisins and drinking ginger ale. Frank accidentally drops a raisin into his ginger ale. They both notice that (lie raisin falls to the bottom of the glass. Soon, the raisin rises Lo the surface of the ginger ale, then sinks. Within a couple of minutes, it rises and sinks again. Joyce asks. “I won der why that happened?” Frank says. I don’t know, hut let’s see if it works in water.” Joyce fills a glass with water and drops the raisin into the glass. After a few minutes, Frank says, “No, it doesn’t go up and down in the water.” Joyce closely observes the raisins in the two glasses and states, “Look, there are hubbies on the raisins in the ginger ale but not on the raisins in the water.” Frank says, ‘it must be the bubbles that make the raisin rise.” Joyce asks, “OK, hut then why do they sink again?”arrow_forwardYou have two solid substances that looks the same.

- PART 3 A Volumetric Flask + A С — ALI50 SOA A 50-mL volumetric flask measures a volume of 50.00 mL. In this experiment, we want to show that this is true. 50.00 mL is the actual volume measured by this volumetric flask. EXPERIMENT: The mass of an empty volumetric flask is measured. Then water is added to the volumetric flask and the meniscus is adjusted to be at the correct level. Then the mass of the volumetric flask and the water is measured. Finally, the temperature of the water in the volumetric flask is measured. RESULTS: Mass of empty volumetric flask = 37.04 g Mass of volumetric flask and water = 86.83 g Temperature of the water in the volumetric flask = 23°C 4 Densities of water at different temperatures: Density of Water at Different Temperatures (g/cm) Temp, °C Density Temp, °C Density Temp, °C Density 18 0.99862 21 0.99802 24 0.99733 19 0.99844 22 0.99780 25 0.99708 20 0.99823 23 0.99757 26 0.99681 (a) Using the mass of the water measured and the density of the water,…arrow_forwardGreen chemistry rests on a set of 12 principles.

- Suppose you are trying to get lemon juice and you have no juicer. Some people say that you can get more juice from a lemon if you roll it on a hard surface, applying pressure with the palm of your hand before you cut it and squeeze out the juice. Others claim that you will get more juice if you first heat the lemon in a microwave and then cut and squeeze it. Apply the methods of science to arrive at a technique that will give the most juice from a lemon. Carry out experiments and draw conclusions based on them. Try to generate a hypothesis to explain your results.arrow_forwardWhich of the following represent physical properties or changes, and which represent chemical properties or changes?
