<span>1. A scientific hypothesis can become a theory if the hypothesis is tested extensively and competing hypothesis are eliminated. A scientific hypothesis is a proposed explanation made on the basis of reasoning without any assumption. For hypothesis to be termed a scientific hypothesis, it has to be something that can be supported or refuted through carefully crafted experimentation or observation.
2. A preliminary untested explanation that tries to explain how or why thing happen in the manner observed is a scientific hypothesis. A primary trait of a hypothesis is that something can be tested and that those tests can be replicated. A hypothesis is often examined by multiples scientists to ensure the integrity and veracity of the experiment. The process can take years, and in many cases hypothesis do not go any further in the scientific method as it is difficult to gather sufficient supporting evidence. </span>
Moles of Oxygen= 2.8075 moles
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
29.2 grams of acetylene
Required
moles of Oxygen
Solution
Reaction(Combustion of Acetylene) :
2 C₂H₂ (g) + 5 O₂ (g) ⇒ 4CO₂ (g) + 2H₂O (g)
Mol of Acetylene :
= mass : MW Acetylene
= 29.2 g : 26 g/mol
= 1.123
From equation, mol ratio of Acetylene(C₂H₂) : O₂ = 2 : 5, so mol O₂ :
= 5/2 x mol C₂H₂
= 5/2 x 1.123
= 2.8075 moles
