Plan a controlled experiment to investigate how much the temperatures of cold sand and cold water change when hot water is added to them. Assume you have access to water, sand, containers, ice, a heat source, a scale, and thermometers. Summarize your experiment in a few sentences.

Astudent is given a sample of a blue copper sulfate hydrate. he weighs the sample in a dry covered porcelain crucible and got a mass of 23.875 g for the crucible, lid, and sample. the mass of the empty crucible and lid was found earlier to be 22.652 g. he then heats the crucible to expel the water of hydration, keeping the crucible at red heat for 10 minutes with the lid slightly ajar. on colling, he finds the mass of crucible, lid, and contents to be 23.403 g. the sample was changed in the process to very light clue anhydrous cuso4. if there are again 100.0 g of hydrate, how many grams of cuso4 are in it? how many moles of cuso4? (hint: molar mass of cuso4 = 159.6 g / mole. what per cent of the hydrate is cuso4? you may convert the mass of cuso4 to moles.)

Mary is conducting an experiment on how pollution affects plant growth. how can she ensure that her data are reliable?

Amedication is given at a dosage of 3.000 mg of medication per kg of body weight. if 0.1500 g of medication is given, then what was the patient's weight in pounds (lbs)? there are 453.59g in 1 lb.
