I think they test ideas about chemical evolution by doing experiments. Hope this helps

Answer: By doing experiment.

Explanation:

Chemical evolution can be define as the generation or synthesis of a new chemical from reactants.

Chemical evolution occurs by doing experiment. The results of the experiments will support the cause of the chemical evolution.

Where did the word "atom" come from?

Alja [10]

ancient Greece of 400 B.C.there was a brilliant philosopher named Democritus, and he proposed the Greek word atomos, which means uncuttable. And so as he explained, all matter was eventually reducible to discrete, small particles or atomos.

A mineral sample is obtained from a region of the country that has high arsenic contamination. An elemental analysis yields the

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

CaAsHO₄

Explanation:

The data has a mistake in one of the values there. I believe the mistake is on the hydrogen. So, I'm going to assume the value of Hydrogen is 0.6%, so the total percent composition would be 100.1% (Something better). All you have to do is replace the correct value of H (or the value with the mistaken option) and do the same procedure.

Now, to calculate the empirical formula, we can do this in three steps.

Step 1. Calculate the amount in moles of each element.

In these case, we just divide the percent composition with the molar mass of each one of them:

Ca: 22.3 / 40.078 = 0.5564

As: 41.6 / 74.9216 = 0.5552

O: 35.6 / 15.9994 = 2.2251

H: 0.6 / 1.00794 = 0.5953

Now that we have done this, let's calculate the ratio of mole of each of them. This is doing dividing the smallest number of mole between each of the moles there. In this case, the moles of As are the smallest so:

Ca: 0.5564/0.5552 = 1.0022

As: 0.5552/0.5552 = 1

O: 2.2251/0.5552 = 4.0077

H: 0.5953/0.5552 = 1.0722

Now, we round those numbers, and that will give us the number of atoms of each element in the empirical formula

Step 3. Write the empirical formula with the rounded numbers obtained

In this case we will have:

Ca: 1

As: 1

O: 4

H: 1

The empirical formula would have to be:

CaAsHO₄

Determine the concentration of a solution made by dissolving 1.40grams NaCL in enough water to make 30.0mL of solution.

KiRa [710]

Answer: 0.8M

Explanation:

Given that,

Amount of moles of NaCl (n) = ?

Mass of NaCl in grams = 1.40 g

For molar mass of NaCl, use the molar masses:

Sodium, Na = 23g;

Chlorine, Cl = 35.5g

NaCl = (23g + 35.5g)

= 58.5g/mol

Since, amount of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

n = 1.40g / 58.5g/mol

n = 0.024 mole

Now, given that:

Amount of moles of NaCl (n) = 0.024

Volume of NaCl solution (v) = 30.0mL

[Convert 30.0mL to liters

If 1000 mL = 1L

30.0mL = 30.0/1000 = 0.03L]

Concentration of NaCl solution (c) = ?

Since concentration (c) is obtained by dividing the amount of solute dissolved by the volume of solvent, hence

c = n / v

c = 0.024 mole / 0.03 L

c = 0.8 M (0.8M means concentration is in moles per litres)

Thus, the concentration of the solution is 0.8M

A preliminary untested explanation that tries to explain how or why things happen in the manner observed is a scientific

icang [17]

It is a scientific hypothesis. A scientific hypothesis must be testable, however there is a significantly more grounded necessity that a testable speculation must meet before it can truly be viewed as logical. This foundation comes essentially from crafted by the rationalist of science Karl Popper, and is called "falsifiability".
