You are feeling ill, you go to the doctor, explain how he would use the scientific method to determine what is wrong with you

The doctor would form a hypothesis based on your symptoms. If you have a cough for instance, then s/he could hypothesize that you have a cold or flu. From that hypothesis, they would gather data in the form of measuring your vitals and so on. Using that data, they would be able to confirm the hypothesis, or reject it in form of some alternative.

c. heat could easily travel through the molecules in the air and escape/enter the flask. removing the air slows down the heat transfer.  

the dissociation of nickel hydroxide is follows:

the concentration of hydroxide ion is

the equilibrium constant value of nickel hydroxide is = 6.1 * 10^-^1^6 and thus equilibrium equation can be written as:

thus, concentration of ni is 0.23 * 10^-^4 mol /l
