In 1887, Albert A. Michelson and Edward W. Morley conducted an experiment to measure the speed at which the Earth moves through

the ether. Their experiment was so refined that it should have finally detected the luminiferous ether. But it didn't. Repeated trials verified the surprising result that the ether did not exist. How did the failure of the Michelson-Morley experiment change scientific theories of light? A. The Michelson-Morley experiment provided a new theory that fit the data better than the theory of the luminiferous ether did. B. The results of the Michelson-Morley experiment had to be rejected because the theory of the luminiferous ether was so well established. C. The results of the Michelson-Morley experiment did not fit the theory of the luminiferous ether, so the theory had to be rejected. D. The Michelson-Morley experiment proved that the luminiferous ether moved at the exact same speed as the Earth during all seasons of the year.

Answer:

The correct answer is option C. "The results of the Michelson-Morley experiment did not fit the theory of the luminiferous ether, so the theory had to be rejected".

Explanation:

The notorious Michelson-Morley experiment changed the way empty spaces were perceived at their time. Before 1887, the scientific community believed the existence of the luminiferous ether, a substance that supposedly was in empty spaces and allowed electromagnetic waves propagation. The results of the Michelson-Morley experiment did not fit the theory of the luminiferous ether, and the experiment was so refined that the theory had to be rejected.

2. A 2.5 mol SAMPLE OF OXYGEN GAS (O2) INCREASES TO 3.2 mol
lana [24]

696.32 mmHg is the final pressure of the gas.

<h3>What is an ideal gas equation?</h3>

The ideal gas equation, pV = nRT, is an equation used to calculate either the pressure, volume, temperature or number of moles of a gas.

Given data:

P_1 = 720 mmHg              

P_2 = ?

n_1 = 2.5 mol                

n_2 = 3.2 mol

V_1 = 34 L            

V_2 = 45 L

Formula

Combined gas law

\frac{P_1 V_1}{n_1}  = \frac{P_2 V_2}{n_2}

P_2 = 696.32 mmHg

Hence, 696.32 mmHg is the final pressure of the gas.

Answer:

solution:-a homogenous mixture of two or more substances in relative amounts that can be varied continuously up to what is called the limit of solubility.

solute:-is a substance, usually a solid, that is dissolved in a solution, which is usually a liquid.

solvent:-substance, ordinarily a liquid, in which other materials dissolve to form a solution.

polar molecule:-is a molecule in which one end of the molecule is slightly positive, while the other end is slightly negative.

Nonpolar molecules occur when electrons are shared equal between atoms of a diatomic molecule or when polar bonds in a larger molecule cancel each other out.

concentration refers to the amount of a substance in a defined space.
