Question 2 (2 points) Saved
How many grams of water do will you need to prepare 480 g of 8.5% solution of
C6H12O6

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the by-mass percent of a solution is a measure of the mass of the solute over the mass of the solution:

As we know the mass of the solution and the by-mass percent, we can compute the mass of glucose in the 480 g of solution:

Thus, by plugging in the data, we obtain:

Finally, since the solution is made up of glucose and water, we compute the mass of water as follows:

Best regards!

93.2 ml + 3920 ml = 4013 ml total  

(93.2 ml) * (2.03 m) / (4013 ml) = 0.0471 m

the volume in in l of the diluted solution would be 0.0471 m.

1. the question asks the most appropriate, which seems to rule out "all of the above." your choice appears to be the correct one.

2. the protocol described is good for identifying correlation, but not cause and effect. for cause/effect, you need to devise a protocol that will assign the treatment (or not) to groups that have essentially the same "demographics" with respect to all the other variables. your choice regarding control group seems appropriate. random assignment of treatment (choice d) may be appropriate also. (i think you can argue that b and d are just different descriptions of the same method.)

3. d will randomize the birds, but may not guarantee there are 10 in each group. e will do both, so seems the better choice.

comment on question 2

based on the problem statement, it seems clear that confident, attentive drivers are more likely to use daytime running lights. so, the protocol might need to be devised in such a way that the lights would be turned on or off without the driver's knowledge. (an attentive driver will figure it out.) assigning a confident, attentive driver to a group required to drive without running lights might mess with his/her confidence and attentiveness. you don't want your experiment to do that. (nor do you want the experiment to subject a driver to greater risk of accident as a consequence of driving without running lights.) experiments involving human safety are always problematic.
