Determine if the following statement is true or false, and why. “A hypothesis can be proven true.”
nalin [4]

it's true. answer is B.

a hypothesis is a stage before formation of theory. so when we put forward a hypothesis to prove something (in scientific observation) it can be proven true with the experiments conducted.

but of course it's can be proven wrong too, after the experiments conducted. then it is disregard.

a proven hypothesis (a true hypothesis)is the reason for theories.

A. property is a characteristic of a pure substance that can be observed without changing the substance into some thing else
wlad13 [49]
The answer is physical property.

Physical properties are the properties that does not require the substance changing into another substance, which is, chemical change. Physical properties are usually observable and measurable, such as melting points, density, odor, color etc. These does not require a chemical reaction to happen.

The opposite of physical property is chemical property, which is how the substance changes to another. Such as how sodium reacts with water to make sodium hydroxide and hydrogen.

How many molecules are there in 4.00 l of oxygen gas at 500.∘ c and 50.0 torr?
Oliga [24]
From  the  ideal  gas law   
pv=nRT , n  is  therefore PV/RT
R is  the
R is  gas  constant =62.364 torr/mol/k
P=500torr
 V=4.00l
T=500+273=773k
n={(500 torr x 4.00l)/(62.364 x773k)}=0.041moles
the  number  of  molecules=moles  x avorgadro costant that is  6.022x10^23)
6.022 x 10^23)  x0.041=2.469 x10^22molecules

A student performs the following experiment.
dybincka [34]

Answer:

Two different changes have occurred in the beaker. The description of the step 1 suggests that most likely a <u>chemical change</u> has occured while the description of the step 2 correspond to a<u> physical change</u>.

Explanation:

When the mixture of two liquid colorless substances results in the appearance of solid particles you first thing in the appareance of a new substance. If this is the case, it means that the original substances reacted chemically to form a new product, so this is a chemical change.

On the other hand, the second step describes just a physical change as it has been just that the yellow particles settled and then a physical separation by <em>decantation</em>. Decantation does not change the chemical properties of the particles settled, they are jsut separeated from the liquid. During this step both the yellow particles and the liquid in the beaker keep their chemical properties, so this is just a physical change.
