Why do you think scientists claim to offer only supporting evidence for a theory and not proof?

Because they're not confident enough to confirm it's indeed true but they will support it for they believe it's correct.

Hno3, a strong acid, is added to shift the ag2co3 equilibrium (equation 7.6) to the right. explain why the shift occurs.
Deffense [45]
Answer 1)  When a strong acid like HNO_{3} reacts with Ag_{2} CO_{3} usually the equilibrium shifts to the right because

As per the Le chatelier's principle "if in any reaction, a dynamic equilibrium is disturbed by changing the any of the conditions, the position of equilibrium moves to counteract the change."  So, in the given reaction when HNO_{3} reacts with Ag_{2} CO_{3}  it generates carbon dioxide and water as a by product, if we are adding HNO_{3} it will remove some of the CO_{3} molecule from the reaction mixture, which then tends to shift the equilibrium towards right.

Answer 2) The same would be observed in this case, if we replace HNO_{3} with HCl it will shift the equilibrium to the right as their will be generation of AgCl as the precipitate.

As per the definition of Le Chatelier's principle if we add reactants in the reaction the equilibrium will tend to move towards right, also if we replace the products or remove it then too it will shift the equilibrium towards right. So, in this reaction you are removing Ag^{+} and Cl^{-} ions from the solution.

Consider the following chemical reaction:
laiz [17]

Answer:

B. 1.65 L

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation

2 SO₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇒ 2 SO₃(g)

Step 2: Calculate the moles of SO₂

The pressure of the gas is 1.20 atm and the temperature 25 °C (298 K). We can calculate the moles using the ideal gas equation.

P × V = n × R × T

n = P × V / R × T

n = 1.20 atm × 1.50 L / (0.0821 atm.L/mol.K) × 298 K = 0.0736 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of SO₃ produced

0.0736 mol SO₂ × 2 mol SO₃/2 mol SO₂ = 0.0736 mol SO₃

Step 4: Calculate the volume occupied by 0.0736 moles of SO₃ at STP

At STP, 1 mole of an ideal gas occupies 22.4 L.

0.0736 mol × 22.4 L/1 mol = 1.65 L

Arrange the compounds in order of decreasing magnitude of lattice energy:
Alik [6]

Answer:

The correct answer is CaO > LiBr > KI.

Explanation:

Lattice energy is directly proportional to the charge and is inversely proportional to the size. The compound LiBr comprises Li+ and Br- ions, KI comprises K+ and I- ions, and CaO comprise Ca²⁺ and O²⁻ ions.  

With the increase in the charge, there will be an increase in lattice energy. In the given case, the lattice energy of CaO will be the highest due to the presence of +2 and -2 ions. K⁺ ions are larger than Li⁺ ion, and I⁻ ions are larger than Br⁻ ion.  

The distance between Li⁺ and Br⁻ ions in LiBr is less in comparison to the distance between K⁺ and I⁻ ions in KI. As a consequence, the lattice energy of LiBr is greater than KI. Therefore, CaO exhibits the largest lattice energy, while KI the smallest.
