What is the difference scientific theory and a scientific law

Chemistry
1 answer:
Arlecino [84]4 years ago
6 0
<span>Laws differ from scientific theories in that they do not posit a mechanism or explanation of phenomena: they are merely distillations of the results of repeated observation. As such, a law is limited in applicability to circumstances resembling those already observed, and may be found false when extrapolated.</span><span>

How does a system at equilibrium respond to the addition of more reactant
grin007 [14]

Answer:

It favors the forward reaction.

Explanation:

According to Le Chatelier's Principle, when a system at equilibrium suffers a perturbation, the system will react in order to counteract the effect of such perturbation.

If more reactant is added, the system will try to decrease its concentration. It will do so by favoring the forward reaction, decreasing the concentration of the reactant  and increasing the concentration of the products, in order to re-establish the equilibrium.

How many moles of Au2S3 is required to form 56 grams of H2S at STP?
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

0.55 mol Au₂S₃

Explanation:

Normally, we would need a balanced equation with masses, moles, and molar masses, but we can get by with a partial equation, if the S atoms are balanced.

1. Gather all the information in one place:

M_r:                          34.08

          Au₂S₃ + … ⟶ 3H₂S + …  

m/g:                             56  

2. Calculate the moles of H₂S

Moles of H₂S = 56 g H₂S × (34.08 g H₂S/1 mol H₂S)

                      = 1.64 mol H₂S

3. Calculate the moles of Au₂S₃

The molar ratio is 1 mol Au₂S₃/3 mol H₂S.

Moles of Au₂S₃ = 1.64 mol H₂S × (1 mol Au₂S₃/3 mol H₂S)

                         = 0.55 mol Au₂S₃

Balance the following reaction. A coefficient of "1" is understood. Choose option "blank" for the correct answer if the coeffici
arlik [135]

The given reaction is:

C4H10 + O2 → CO2 + H2O

The above equation is not balanced due to the unequal distribution of atoms on either side of equation

# atoms Reactants           # atoms products

C = 4                                    C = 1

H = 10                                  H = 2

O = 2                                   O = 3

In order to balance it, multiply C4H10 by 2, O2 by 13, CO2 by 8 and H2O by 10 to get:

2C4H10 + 13 O2 → 8CO2 + 10H2O
