A scientist was asked to test the effect of a new vitamin for rats. His hypothesis was that young rats that had vitamins added to their food would gain weight faster than young rats fed a normal diet. He predicted that if young rats were fed vitamins, then they would gain more weight by the end of the experiment. He tested the effect of adding vitamins to some of the rats' diet by measuring the amount of weight each rat gained after three months. He then determined the average weight gained in each group. To analyze his results, he put the data he collected into the table shown below. How was or wasn't the scientific method followed in this experiment?

A. The scientific method was followed because there was an experimental group and a control group.

B. The scientific method was not followed because the experiment was not repeated many times by many different people.

C. The scientific method was not followed because the scientist did not write down the question to be tested.

D. The scientific method was followed because the experiment tested the hypothesis and produced reliable results.

Show transcript transcripts online experiment: atomic structure [the history of atomic theory] this animation will you test rutherford’s hypothesis that it took a great number of shots to actually hit the nucleus because the size of the atom was so much larger than the nucleus.[clipboard and pencil with a diagram of rutherford’s gold foil experiment] we are going to use a cardboard box to represent the atom, a wooden block to represent the nucleus, and marbles to represent the alpha particles. [animated cardboard box, wooden block, and marbles] the box’s measurements are: length = 50 cm, width = 25 cm, and height = 25 cm. the measurements of the block are: length = 10 cm, width = 10 cm, and height is 5 cm. jose and priscilla will conduct the experiment. [animated boy and girl] priscilla put the block in the box on the floor. jose will close his eyes and drop marbles into the box trying to hit the block. priscilla will count the number of times the marbles hit the block and move the block in the box after each hit. [animated block moving inside the box. marble dropping into the box.] here is priscilla’s data of how many times the marble hit the block. out of 100 marble drops or shots, the marble hit the block 32 times. [data table: first column: marble, with rows 1 to 100; column 2: hit, with rows indicating yes or no. last row: total hits] now you can follow the directions in the experiment to present your findings. present your findings when you are finished with the experiment, complete the following data analysis and record your answers in the essay box below. determine the volume of the box and the block. determine the ratio of the block to the box: multiply this number by 100 to turn it into a percent. complete this statement: the volume of the block is percent of the volume of the box. determine the ratio of the number of hits to the number of shots: multiply this number by 100 to turn it into a percent. complete this statement: the block was hit percent of the time. compare the results of step 2 to the results of step 3. are the percentages similar? write a conclusion discussing the following items: based on your findings, do you think rutherford's hypothesis was reasonable? restate rutherford's hypothesis and describe how you tested it. state whether your results support the hypothesis. if they do not, can you suggest some error in experimental procedure (other than general human error) that might explain it? finally, explain how this experiment confirms the nuclear model of the atom and the idea that most of the atom is empty space.

Achemical equilibrium between gaseous reactants and products is shown. n2(g) + 3h2(g) ⇌ 2nh3(g) how will the reaction be affected if the pressure on the system is increased? it will shift toward the reactant side as there is lower pressure on the reactant side. it will shift toward the product side as there is higher pressure on the product side. it will shift toward the reactant side as there are a greater number of moles of gas on the reactant side. it will shift toward the product side as there are a fewer number of moles of gas on the product side.
