Asunscreen preparation contains 2.40 %% by mass benzyl salicylate. if a tube contains 6.0 ozoz of sunscreen, how many kilograms of benzyl salicylate are needed to manufacture 290 tubes of sunscreen?

Answer : The mass of benzyl salicylate needed to manufacture 290 tubes of sunscreen are, 1.18 kg

Explanation :

As we are given that a sunscreen preparation contains 2.40 % by mass benzyl salicylate. That means, 2.40 grams of benzyl salicylate present in 100 g of solution.

First we have to convert the given mass from oz into kg.

Conversion used:

1 kg = 35.274 oz

or,

So,

Now we have to determine the mass of benzyl salicylate.

As, 100 g of solution contains mass of benzyl salicylate = 2.40 g

So, 0.1701 kg of solution contains mass of benzyl salicylate =

Now we have to determine the mass of benzyl salicylate are needed to manufacture 290 tubes of sunscreen.

Mass of benzyl salicylate in 290 tubes of sunscreen = 0.00408 kg × 290

Mass of benzyl salicylate in 290 tubes of sunscreen = 1.18 kg

Thus, the mass of benzyl salicylate needed to manufacture 290 tubes of sunscreen are, 1.18 kg

1. the question asks the most appropriate, which seems to rule out "all of the above." your choice appears to be the correct one.

2. the protocol described is good for identifying correlation, but not cause and effect. for cause/effect, you need to devise a protocol that will assign the treatment (or not) to groups that have essentially the same "demographics" with respect to all the other variables. your choice regarding control group seems appropriate. random assignment of treatment (choice d) may be appropriate also. (i think you can argue that b and d are just different descriptions of the same method.)

3. d will randomize the birds, but may not guarantee there are 10 in each group. e will do both, so seems the better choice.

comment on question 2

based on the problem statement, it seems clear that confident, attentive drivers are more likely to use daytime running lights. so, the protocol might need to be devised in such a way that the lights would be turned on or off without the driver's knowledge. (an attentive driver will figure it out.) assigning a confident, attentive driver to a group required to drive without running lights might mess with his/her confidence and attentiveness. you don't want your experiment to do that. (nor do you want the experiment to subject a driver to greater risk of accident as a consequence of driving without running lights.) experiments involving human safety are always problematic.

catya that's not even a b or c
