Which of the following is one way creativity can help scientists? By ensuring they follow the scientific method.
By increasing the amount of time it takes to complete scientific experiments.
By making sure they only try things that have already been proven.
By leading them to ask more questions about the natural world.

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.)

Fill in the coefficients that will balance the following reaction: a0cr2(so4)3 + a1agno3

Calculate the number of moles of ethane in 100 grams
