Mr. Holmes and Mrs. Nogaki are having a good old fashioned Baby Back Ribs BBQ contest and are arguing over who’s BBQ produces le

ss greenhouse gasses. Mrs. Nogaki uses natural gas to power her BBQ and provided the balanced equation to Mr. Holmes as proof of how efficient her grill is.
CH4 + 2O2→CO2 +2H2O

Mrs. Nogaki claims that for every mole of natural gas burned, only 1 mole of CO2 is produced.

Mr. Holmes doesn’t have a prepared balanced equation but knows that the chemical formula of propane is C3H8 and that it is a combustion reaction.

Who is right?

Question 19 options:

Mrs. Nogaki is right because Mr. Holmes’s BBQ produces 2x less CO2 for each mole of fuel burned.


Both are right because in a combustion reaction, CO2 and water are always produced.


Mr. Holmes is right because his BBQ produces less CO2 for each mole of fuel burned than Mrs. Nogaki’s grill.


Mrs. Nogaki is right because Mr. Holmes’s BBQ produces 3x more CO2 for each mole of fuel burned.

Answer:

Mrs. Nogaki is right because Mr. Holmes’s BBQ produces 3x more CO2 for each mole of fuel burned.

Explanation:

Now Mrs. Nogaki has already figured out the chemical combustion reaction behind the operation of her BBQ. It is pertinent to reproduce it here.

CH4(g) + 2O2(g)→CO2(g) +2H2O(g)

She already has this figured out but Mr. Holmes doesn't have any chemical reaction equation to back his claims. Let us help him with the correct combustion equation for propane.

C3H8(g) + 5O2(g) + 3CO2(g) + 4H2O(g)

We can clearly see from the reaction equation that Mr. Holmes BBQ produces three times more carbon IV oxide than Mr. Nogaki's BBQ so Mr. Nogaki was right in her claim after all.

Hence the answer!

1. A scientific hypothesis can become a theory if ______.
Rus_ich [418]
<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>
