Following teacher's guidance, one of the long bone was placed in a beaker containing vinegar (7% acetic acid), a weak acid and let it sit for 3 days at 370 C in an incubator. The other long bone was left in beaker containing distilled water and placed in the same incubator. The students were very curious - on the 4th day, they used gloves and removed the bones from respective jars with utmost care. The teacher asked them to write their observations (what happened) and the explanation (why did it happen) in the lab notebook in view of the structure-function relationship of bone. Assuming we are doing this lab activity. describe the observation in the vinegar treated long bone compared to the control set and explain what actually happened to justify observationarrow_forwardSolid bismuth (III) oxide and solid carbon react to form bismuth metal and carbon monoxide gas.

The system is allowed to come to room temperature, causing the solid to melt into a liquid. After the solid melts, how will the volume of liquid in the flask compare with the total volume of the liquid and solid that initially occupied the flask? Your answer should indicate if the volume increases, decreases, or does not change in volume and should include the reason for your answer. Assume that there is no evaporation.arrow_forward2.) It’s a bad day in the lab! Two students are doing experiments. Each is 20 feet away from the professor. At the same time, each of them lets the same amount of a smelly gas into the room. One of them releases ammonia, NH3, and the other releases SO2. NH3 has a pungent odor, and SO2 smells like rotten eggs. The professor has no idea that this has happened, until she smell the first gas. Which chemical will the professor smell first? (NH3 or SO2) . If the professor starts to smell the first gas 42. seconds after the gas is released, how long will it take her to smell the second gas? sec. * Note: It is unsafe practice to work with these chemicals in an open lab.arrow_forward
- Students can develop alternative conceptions (commonly called misconceptions) inrelation to some core concepts in chemistry. Consider each of the following ideasexpressed by students and suggest how you would address these incorrect ideasthrough experimental work and class discussion:(i) Sugar (e.g. glucose) and salt (e.g. NaCl) both dissolve in water and thereforeboth are ionic compounds.(ii) Breaking bonds releases energy.(iii) Adding reactant A to reactant B will always produce the same products asadding reactant B to reactant A.(iv) In the reaction of Fe + S --> FeS, adding 10 g of Fe to 10 g S will produce 10g of FeS.arrow_forwardBelow are 3 real life situations.
