Tom investigated whether sugar raises the boiling point of water. He put 2 gallons of water at 20°C and 2 cups of sugar in a pot, heated the solution
over a flame and measured the temperature when the water reached a rolling
boil. He repeated the experiment three times and recorded the same result
each time. He concluded the sugar raises the boiling point of water by 5°C.
Where did Tom err in his experimental design?
A He did not conduct the trials at the same time.
B He waited until the water reached a rolling boil.
CHe did not boil a pot of water without sugar
Dhe should have repeated the measurement ce eral more times

Two solids are mixed in a flask and stirred. after a few minutes, the flask becomes cold. which of the following best describes this reaction? a. an exothermic reaction b. a combustion reaction c. an endothermic reaction d. a decomposition reaction

The image compares the arrangement of electrons in two different neutral atoms. a figure labeled atom q has a shaded sphere at the center of three concentric circles. the innermost circle has two black spheres. the middle circle has six black spheres. to the left of this figure is another figure labeled atom p. atom p has a shaded sphere at the center of three concentric circles. the innermost circle has two black spheres. the middle circle has seven black spheres. which of the following best explains the position of the two atoms in the periodic table? atom p has an estimated zeff of 7 and is therefore to the left of atom q, which has a zeff of 6. atom p has an estimated zeff of 7 and is therefore to the right of atom q, which has a zeff of 6. atom p has an estimated zeff of 5 and is therefore below atom q, which has a zeff of 4. atom p has an estimated zeff of 5 and is therefore above atom q, which has a zeff of 4.

Why is it important for scientists to review and repeat the work of other scientists? 1.a scientific theory must be tested three times before it is proven. 2.the scientific method only applies to repeated experiments. 3.an experiment may have had errors that the scientists didn't recognize. 4.the results of individual scientists may be influenced by bias. 5.an experiment must be performed twice before the data can be analyzed.
