What is the primary difference between a hypothesis and a theory?

2 answers:

3 0

The answer to this question would be: A theory is supported by more data and observations than a hypothesis is.

Theories and hypothesis are both an explanation, but the theory explanation is more in-depth. Theory will be more reliable than hypothesis since it supported by more data. But both the theory and hypothesis are should be falsifiable.

A hypothesis is just an explanation that someone suggests based on his/her observation of a certain phenomenon. It needs further experiments and testings and based on the results of these experiments, the hypothesis can either be verified and further turned into a theory or rejected.

Hypothesis is based on suggestion or prediction, while a theory is based on evidence, repeated testing and verification.

Both of them are falsifiable. As the phenomenon can further develop and change are the results of all the experiments done.

Based on this:
The answer is: A theory is supported by more data and observations than a hypothesis is.

How many molecules of CH4 are in 24.1 g of this compound?

jok3333 [9.3K]

1) find molar mass of CH₄

$=12.01+4(1.01)\\\\=16.05\ g/mol$

2) determine moles of CH₄

$=24.1g\ CH_{4}\ x\ \frac{1\ mol\ CH_{4}}{16.05g\ CH_{4}}\\\\=1.501557632\ mol\ CH_{4}$

3) multiply by avogadro's number

$=1.501557632\ mol\ CH_{4}\ x\ \frac{6.022\ x\ 10^{23}\ molecules\ CH_{4}}{1\ mol\ CH_{4}} \\\\=9.04238006\ x\ 10^{23}\\\\=9.04\ x\ 10^{23}\ molecules\ CH_{4}$

A mixture of helium and nitrogen gases, in a 7.03 L flask at 17 °C, contains 0.738 grams of helium and 8.98 grams of nitrogen. T

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

The partial pressure of nitrogen in the flask is 1.08 atm and the total pressure in the flask is 1.70 atm.

Explanation:

We must use the Ideal Gas Law to solve this:

Pressure . volume = n . R . T

T = T° in K → T°C + 273

17°C + 273 = 290K

n = moles

In a mixture, n is the total moles (Sum of each mol, from each gas)

Moles = Mass / Molar mass

Moles He = 0.738 g / 4g/m = 0.184 moles

Moles N₂ = 8.98 g / 28g/m = 0.320 moles

0.184 m + 0.320m = 0.504 moles

P . 7.03L = 0.504m . 0.082L.atm/ mol.K . 290K

P = (0.504m . 0.082L.atm/ mol.K . 290K) /7.03L

P = 1.70 atm - This is the total pressure.

To know the partial pressure of N₂ we can apply, the molar fraction:

Moles of N₂ / Total moles = Pressure N₂ / Total pressure

0.320m / 0.504m = Pressure N₂ / 1.70atm

(0.320m / 0.504m) . 1.70atm = Pressure N₂

1.08atm = Pressure N₂

Which of the following weathering processes involves the constant freezing and thawing of water?

Artemon [7]

Frost wedging

Explanation:

Weathering is the physical disintegration and chemical decomposition of rocks to form sediments and soils.

Some agents of weathering are wind, water, glacier and gravity.

In physical weathering, rocks are broken down mechanically into smaller bit.
Freezing and thawing allows for the propagation of physical weathering.
Water within cracks will expand when they freeze significantly.
This will further expand and widen the cracks.
When the ice thaws the stress is relieved.
When the process continues on and on over the year, a rock will eventually break down.
This is common around the temperate and polar regions.
