Why does a hypothesis become a scientific theory

Chemistry
2 answers:
kogti [31]3 years ago
6 0
Over time, if the original hypothesis is overwhelmingly supported by the greater scientific community, and if no experiments have proven it wrong, it becomes a theory. ... This can lead to a theory being overturned. So, in that sense, a theory is science's best explanation of a phenomenon at that point in time.

Answer:

Explanation:

If enough evidence accumulates to support a hypothesis, it moves to the next step — known as a theory — in the scientific method and becomes accepted as a valid explanation of a phenomenon. ... Tanner likens theories to a basket in which scientists keep facts and observations that they find

What are the formal charges on the sulfur (s), carbon (c), and nitrogen (n) atoms, respectively, in the resonance structure that
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

Sulfur: -1

Carbon: 0

Nitrogen: 0

Explanation:

The thiocyanate ion SCN- can have only two resonance structures, which are:

S - C ≡ N <--------> S = C = N

In the first structure, we have one single bond and one triple bond, in this case, the negative charge is located in the sulfur. This is because Sulfur have 6 electrons and those electrons are present in the atom, (see picture below), and counting the electron that is sharing with the Carbon, the total electrons that sulfur has is 7 (It has one more than usual). Carbon and nitrogen are already stable with 0 of formal charge, because carbon can only have 4 electrons which 1 is sharing with sulfur and the other 3 with the nitrogen, and nitrogen have 5 electrons, three sharing with carbon and the other two kept it for itself.

In the second structure, the negative charge of the sulfur is transfered to the nitrogen, meaning that it has 6 electrons the nitrogen (formal charge -1) and carbon and sulfur with 4 and 6 electrons respectively.

Between these two structures, the most stable is the first one basically because Sulfur is a better nucleophile than the Nitrogen, and can form stronger hydrogen bond in acid, giving more stable structure.

Classify the chemical equations as being balanced or not balanced. 2CO 2NO → 2CO2 N2 6CO2 6H2O → C6H12O6 O2 H2CO3 → H2O CO2 2Cu
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

2CO 2NO → 2CO2 N2 : Balanced

6CO2 6H2O → C6H12O6 : Unbalanced

H2CO3 → H2O CO2 : Balanced

2Cu O2 → CuO : Unbalanced

Explanation:

1.) 2CO 2NO → 2CO2 N2

2 Carbon 2

4 Oxygen 4

2 Nitrogen 2

The amount of atoms of each element on each side of the equation are the same therefore the equation is balanced.

2.) 6CO2 6H2O → C6H12O6 O2

6 Carbon 6

12 Oxygen 8

12 Hydrogen 12

The amount of oxygen atoms is different on both sides of the equation therefore the equation is not balanced.

3.) H2CO3 → H2O CO2

2 Hydrogen 2

1 Carbon 1

3 Oxygen 3

The amount of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation therefore the equation is balanced.

2Cu O2 → CuO.

2 Cu 2

2 O 1

The amount of oxygen atoms is different on both sides of the equation therefore the equation is not balanced.

How many miles of NaOH will completely react with 10.0 mL of 1.0 M HCl?
Naddik [55]
The reaction between 1 mole of NaOH and 1 mole of HCl creates 1 mole of NaCl and 1 mole of water. Meaning that the moles of HCl needs to equal that of NaOH for the solution to be considered equalized. That being said, you first need to find the numbers miles of HCl by multiplying the volume by the molarity to get 0.01 moles HCl. (1Mx0.01L=0.01). That means that you need 0.01 moles of NaOH. I hope that helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.
