18) A researcher did a one-tailed hypothesis test using an alpha level of .01, H0 was rejected. A colleague analyzed the same data but used a two-tailed test with α=.05, H0 was failed to reject. Can both analyses be correct? Explain your answer.

21) A psychologist would like to examine the effect of fatigue on mental alertness. An attention test is prepared which requires subjects to sit in front of a blank TV screen and press a response button each time a dot appears on the screen. A total of 110 dots are presented during a 90-minute period, and the psychologist records the number of errors for each subject. Two groups of subjects are selected. The first group (n=5) is tested after they have been kept awake for 24 hours. The second group (n=10) is tested in the morning after a full night’s sleep. The data for these two samples are as follows:

____________________________________

Awake 24 hours     Rested

____________________________________

x̅=35     x̅=24

ss=120 ss=360

____________________________________

On the basis of these data, can psychologist conclude that fatigue significantly increases errors on an attention task? Test with α=.05 and report effect size.

Experiment 1: Double Replacement Precipitation Reaction between Calcium Chloride and Sodium Carbonate

In this experiment you will precipitate calcium carbonate from the reaction between sodium carbonate and calcium chloride. The reaction is:

Procedure

Place a weigh boat on the scale. Once you have the mass of your weigh boat, press the button on the right hand side (0/T). Your scale should now read 0.0 g.Use your metal spatula to weigh out 2.0 g of CaCl2 in the weigh boat (the total mass should be 2.0 g). Record the exact mass of the powder in Table 9.Be sure to wipe off your spatula, gloves, and scale on a paper towel between chemical samples to avoid cross-contamination.Add the 2.0 g of CaCl2 to the 250 mL beaker. Use the 100 mL graduated cylinder to add 50 mL of distilled water to the beaker and mix with the glass stir rod until all CaCl2 has dissolved.

Note: This is an exothermic process, so the beaker may become warm.

Place a 50 mL beaker on the scale. Once you have the mass of your beaker, press the button on the right hand side (0/T). Your scale should now read 0.0 g.Use your metal spatula to weigh out 2.5 g of Na2CO3 in the 50 mL beaker. Record the exact mass of the powder in Table 9.Remove the beaker from the scale. Use your 100 mL graduated cylinder to add 25 mL of distilled water to the 50 mL beaker and mix with the glass stir rod until all Na2CO3 has dissolved. Add all of the Na2CO3 solution to the beaker containing the CaCl2 solution. It is important that all of the Na2CO3 is added. To ensure this, rinse the 50 mL beaker with up to 5 mL distilled water, and pour the rinse into the CaCl2 solution.Stir the solution for three minutes. Then, allow it to sit for 15 minutes. This gives sufficient time for all CaCO3 to precipitate. Record your observations in Table 9.While the solution is sitting, set up the gravity filtration apparatus (Figure 4). Place a funnel in the 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask, such that the bottom of the funnel is also inside the mouth of the flask. Obtain a piece of filter paper. Use the scale to weigh the filter paper and record the mass in Table 9.Prepare a filtering funnel as shown in Figure 5. Fold a piece of filter paper in half twice to make quarters, and place the paper in the funnel so that three quarters are open on one side and one quarter is on the opposite side. Place the paper into the funnel and seat with a small amount of distilled water (this will prevent the filter paper from rising up).  Slowly filter the solution from the beaker. Additional distilled water may also be used to transfer any remaining solid into the filtration apparatus. After all the solution has been filtered, use the pipette to rinse the filter paper with approximately 5 mL of isopropyl alcohol to aid the drying process. Allow the isopropyl alcohol to completely drip through the filter before removing filter paper from the funnel. Carefully remove the filter paper from the funnel and put it precipitate-side up in a safe place to dry overnight. Air drying will take anywhere from 5 to 18 hours, depending on the humidity of your region. Allow the product to dry, undisturbed, and determine the mass of the product recovered (Experimental Yield) by re-weighing the system and subtracting the weight of the filter paper. Record the data in Table 9.

Post-Lab Questions

1.   Describe the interaction between the top and bottom strips as they relate to electric charge. Did the behavior of the pieces change when the tape was from different sets?


2.   Describe the interaction between two top and two bottom pieces of tape as they relate to electric charge. Is this consistent with the existence of only two types of charge? Use your results to support your answer.


3.   Did the top tape attract your arm hair? Did the bottom tape attract your arm hair? Usually arm hair is neutral; it has equal number positive and negative charges. Use this information to explain your results.


4.   Which pieces of tape are positively charged? Which pieces of tape are negatively charged? Explain your reasoning.

5.   Use your data to create a rule describing how like charges, opposite charges, and neutral bodies interact.

6.   What do you observe about the force of attraction or repulsion when the pieces of tape are closer together and farther apart? Does this change happen gradually or quickly?

1. In this distillation experiment we start the experiment with 10 mL of liquid mixture ofcyclohexane and toluene. However, it is not possible to obtain all 10 mL back under thecurrent procedure particularly for fractional distillation. Explain why that is the case for distillation and in particular for fractional distillation.

2. How could you modify the experiment and collect all 10 mL of the startingmaterials.

3. Plot a theoretical distillation curve of temperature (y-axis) vs. volume in mL (x-axis) fora 15 mL of a mixture containing 60% 1-propanol and 40% 2-propanol. Are these twocompounds easier to separate by distillation than cyclohexane and toluene? Explain youranswer.


4. In this experiment you were asked to collect two fractions and early fraction and a latefraction. Which of the two fractions would be richer in cyclohexane? Would there be adifference between the percent of cyclohexane in the fractions collected from fractionalvs. simple distillation.

5. What method of purification would you use to purify methanol from a solution ofmethanol and NaCl? Be specific and explain your choice of method.

Causal Hypotheses

Find an example (or a summary) of a randomized experiment, controlled experiment, prospective observational study, or retrospective observational study. Good sources are news items about such studies.

Briefly describe the study, and in your account, identify the causal hypothesis the study has claimed to have supported as likely true, as well as the comparison groups.

Then think critically about the study: state what you think are possible uncontrolled confounding variables that, if true, could call into question the conclusion of the study.

Experiment - Claisen Condensation Reactions:

In this experiment, we performed a Claisen condensation reaction of ethyl phenylacetate using potassium tert-butoxide to form ethyl 3-oxo-2,4-diphenylbutanoate and ethanol without using a solvent. This allowed us to reduce waste, have reagents that have a relatively low toxicity level, and made the reaction much more convenient.

Question 2: If this reaction were run in a solution (as opposed to solvent-free) it would require several hours of refluxing and provide a much smaller yield. Why is this the case?

I cannot seem to find an answer to this question. The only thing that I can find is that the reaction is reversible when a solvent is used (which I'm assuming means that the reaction is not reversible when there is no solvent). If this is correct, why is the reaction reversible when a solvent is used, and not reversible when a solvent is not used?

A source for the answer would be appreciated if possible.

Thank you for the help in advance!
