Melissa Carrithers 9-17-14 Period: 6 Determination of the Empirical Formula of Silver Oxide Purpose: To find the percent composition and empirical formula of silver oxide can then be calculated‚ based on combining the ratios of silver and oxygen in the reaction. Hypothesis: Silver oxide decomposes to silver metal and oxygen when strongly heated. Heating Silver oxide causes the oxygen to be driven off‚ leaving only the silver metal behind. The total mass of the products of a chemical reaction must

distinction between pure and empirical knowledge? Can you give an example of each type of knowledge? “knowledge a priori‚” therefore‚ we shall in the sequel understand‚ not such as is independent of this or that kind of experience‚ but such as is absolutely so of all experience. “Empirical knowledge”‚ or that which is possible only a posteriori‚ that is‚ through experience. Knowledge a priori is either pure or impure. Pure knowledge a priori is that with which no empirical element is mixed up.

answer the above question. It also addresses the question of how knowledge is acquired and which methods of research are ‘’scientific’’. How can we distinguish between legitimate science and astrology? Much relevant question is in what sense is psychoanalysis a science‚ or psychology in general? In recent times science is widely regarded as that there is something special about it and its methods. But what is so special about science and what is the basis of this authority? It is simply not

1 “Arithmetic vs. Geometric Means: Empirical Evidence and Theoretical Issues” by Jay B. Abrams‚ ASA‚ CPA‚ MBA Copyright 1996 There has been a flurry of articles about the relative merits of using the arithmetic mean (AM) versus the geometric mean (GM). The Ibbotson SBBI Yearbook took the first position that the arithmetic mean is the correct mean to use in valuation. Allyn Joyce’s June 1995 BVR article initiated arguments for the GM as the correct mean. The previous articles have centered

developing a theory‚ theorists must construct their theory so that it can be judged by this certain criteria. This criteria is made out of: 1.) empirical validity‚ 2.) its logical consistency‚ 3.) scope‚ and parsimony‚ 4.) testability as well as 5.) The usefulness and 6.) the policy implications (Akers and Sellers‚ 5). It is important for a theory to possess empirical validity because without it‚ theorist would be unable to determine whether said theory could be accepted or dissolved with the evidence that
