Answer:

c. suggesting a solution to a problem after studying it carefully

Explanation:

Hypothesis generally refers to an assumption made. This assumption can either be true or false. It is a reasoning presented in order to explain a phenomenon and is the starting point for further investigation.

Among the options, the closest that best describes it is option C.

Imagine the reaction A + B ⇌ C + D is at equilibrium, where the forward and reverse reactions are at equal rates. What would hap
kondaur [170]

Answer:

Rate of forward reaction will increase.

Explanation:

Effect of change in reaction condition on equilibrium is explained by Le Chatelier's principle. According to this principle,

If an equilibrium condition of a dynamic reversible reaction is disturbed by changing concentration, temperature, pressure, volume, etc,  then reaction will move will in a direction which counteract the change.

In the given reaction,

A + B ⇌ C + D

If concentration of A is increase, then reaction will move in a direction which decreases the concentration of A to reestablish the equilibrium.

As concentration A decreases in forward direction, therefore, rate of forward reaction will increase.

A buffer solution that is 0.100 M in both HCOOH and HCOOK has a pH = 3.75. A student says that if a very small amount of 0.100 M
Korvikt [17]

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Chemical equation for the given reaction is as follows.

      HCOO^{-}(aq) + H^{+}(aq) \rightarrow HCOOH(aq)

And, the expression to calculate pH of this reaction is as follows.

      pH = pk_{a} + log \frac{[HCOO^{-}]}{[HCOOH]}

As the concentration of HCOO^{-} is directly proportional to pH. Hence, when there occurs a decrease in the pH of the solution the [HCOO^{-}] will also decrease.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement, HCOO will accept a proton from HCl to produce more HCOOH and H_{2}O, best supports the student's claim.

Consider the combustion of octane:
just olya [345]

Answer:

15.9 g

Explanation:

(Take the atomic mass of C=12.0, H=1.0, O=16.0)

no. of moles = mass / molar mass

no. of moles of octane used = 11.2 / (12.0x8 + 1x18)

= 0.0982456 mol

Since oxygen is in excess and octane is the limiting reagent, the no. of moles of H2O depends on the no. of moles of octane used.

From the balanced equation, the mole ratio of octane : water = 2:18 = 1: 9,

so this means, one mole of octane produced 9 moles of water.

Using this ratio, we can deduce that (y is the no. of moles of water produced):

\frac{1}{9} =\frac{0.0982456}{y}

y = 0.0982456x9

y= 0.88421 mol

Since mass = no. of moles x molar mass,

mass of water produced = 0.88421  x (1.0x2+16.0)

=15.9 g
