What are the three steps scientists take to evaluate a scientific explanation

What does a particular point on a line of a phase diagram represent? o a. the maximum temperature a substance can exist at without bonds breaking b. the pressure created by the kinetic energy of molecules at a particular temperature c. the melting point or boiling point of a substance at a specific pressure d. the conditions in which temperature and pressure have equal effects on a substance

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.)

Frictional forces acting on an object are often converted into energy, which causes the temperature of the object to rise slightly.
