Answer:
D. a scientific explanation that is agreed on by all scientists and is no longer adjusted as new evidence is found
Explanation:
Scientific theory is an explanation that has been repeatedly tested and verified in accordance with the scientific method, using accepted protocols of observation, measurement, and evaluation of results
Answer:
The rate of the reaction increased by a factor of 1012.32
Explanation:
Applying Arrhenius equation
ln(k₂/k₁) = Ea/R(1/T₁ - 1/T₂)
where;
k₂/k₁ is the ratio of the rates which is the factor
Ea is the activation energy = 274 kJ/mol.
T₁ is the initial temperature = 231⁰C = 504 k
T₂ is the final temperature = 293⁰C = 566 k
R is gas constant = 8.314 J/Kmol
Substituting this values into the equation above;
ln(k₂/k₁) = 274000/8.314(1/504 - 1/566)
ln(k₂/k₁) = 32956.4589 (0.00198-0.00177)
ln(k₂/k₁) = 6.92
k₂/k₁ = exp(6.92)
k₂/k₁ = 1012.32
The rate of the reaction increased by 1012.32
Answer:
the answers are either a or d
Explanation:
Carbon dioxide has a total of 16 valence electrons. 1. To determine the number of valence electrons of carbon dioxide (CO2), first determine the number of valence electrons of each of the elements in the molecule.
a. We have 1 carbon (C) molecule, and 2 oxygen (O) molecules.
b. The carbon molecule has 4 valence electrons and each oxygen molecule has 6 oxygen molecules.
2. Add up the valence electrons of each of the elements
4 + (2 x 6) = 16
(from C) (2 oxygen molecules, with 6 valence electrons each)
Thus, CO2 has a total of 16 valence electrons.
The number of valence electrons can be more clearly seen from the Lewis structure of the CO2 in the figure below (Source: http://chemistry.tutorvista.com/inorganic-chemistry/bonding-electrons.html). The the dots surrounding the letters represent the valence electrons.
