Answer:

Explanation:

Before answering the questions, it is important to define these given terms:

  1. Theory: a theory can best be simply defined as an explanation of a phenomenon usually drawn from careful observation.
  2. Fact: fact is a proven information that has been known to exist or occur.
  3. Law: scientific laws are usually mathematical expressions that seeks to explain a certain observation with some exceptions.
  4. Belief: it is an ideology based on wether a thing exists or not.
  5. Hypothesis: It is simply a scientific guess or an untested idea.

a) There are 2 countries in North America: Belief

The idea that there are just two countries in North America is wrong. A person might choose to hold on to this false knowledge despite strong evidence that can annul this system of reasoning. He or she might be coming from the point view that in terms of economic prowess, there are just two countries in North America. This is more of a belief.

b) If I jump out a window I will die: belief.

This is more of a belief, there is nothing to prove that if one jumps out of a window, death is inevitable.

c) Through the process of natural selection humans, chimpanzees and

gorillas evolved from a common ancestor species.: Theory

This is a theory that seeks to provide a scientific basis to evolution. To come to this conclusion, observations have been made on humans, chimpanzees and gorillas.

d) Energy can be converted into matter in ratio of E=mc² : Law

This is a scientific law which has been simplified in form of mathematical expression to show the relationship between mass energy.

e) Canada is the greatest country on earth: Belief

This is a mere belief. Almost every Canadian can attest to this assertion. It is a thing of national pride and loyal for one to belief their country is the greatest.

f) Illness comes from microscopic germs, some of which, bacteria can be

seen under the microscope and cultivated outside a host, and others,

viruses, are too small to see under the microscope: Fact

It is a proven fact that germs causes diseases.

Answer:

a) Belief; b) Belief, c) Theory; d) Law; e) Belief; f) Hypothesis

Explanation:

1) The steps involved in scientific method are: a) a researcher make an observation of a process or system; b) he/she make an hypothesis, it means a statement that describes something about the process/system observed; c) Hyphothesis is tested trough experimentation d) During and after experimentation, the researcher makes observations; e) Conclusions are made from the analysis of results; f) A theory that explains the process is made, based on observations and tested trough experimentation. A theory is postulated as a possible explanation, that can change and be replaced in the future.

3) A Law is a statement or equation that exactly describes the relation between different variables and that is universally valid.

2) In constrast, a belief is something that people think but is not supported by knowledge.

Based on this information:

a) is a belief, because someone can think that there are only two countries in North América, but actually there are more than that.

b) is a belief, because we don´t know what will happen.

c) Is a theory, something that was tested trough experimentation and that is already accepted as possible.

d) This is a law, that relates energy with mass.

e) Is a belief too, because someone can think that but there are bigger countries.

f) This could be an hypothesis that needs to be tested trough experimentation.

Give the structure that corresponds to the following molecular formula and 1H NMR spectrum: C4H10O2: δ 1.36 (3H, d, J = 5.5 Hz);
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

For the determination of a structure through its NMR it is necessary to know its molecular formula as well as the delta values, its coupling and the shift of each signal.

The separation produced is called coupling constant J and is measured in Hz. If the split is produced by two equal protons (equal J) a triple signal known as triplet is produced and if produced by three equal protons, the signal is quadruple and is known as quadruplet. The magnitude of the coupling is varied, depending on the relative disposition of the coupled protons (elevations that separate them, arrangement, spatial arrangement)

OH CH2 CH2 CH2 CH2 OH

(A)   (B)   (C)

1,4-butanediol

In the case of the molecule to study the signal at 1.36 shows a doublet, which corresponds to the hydrogen (C), is split in two for each different proton on the same carbon or on neighboring carbons.

At 3.32 ocurrs a singlet, wich belong to hidrogen (B). The last signal is a quintet, at 4.63 belonging to the hydrogen (C)

Explanation

Nuclear magnetic resonance NMR is a physical phenomenon based on the mechanical-quantum properties of atomic nuclei. NMR also refers to the family of scientific methods that explore this phenomenon to study molecules, macromolecules, as well as tissues and whole organisms.

NMR takes advantage of the fact that atomic nuclei resonate at a frequency directly proportional to the force of a magnetic field exerted, in accordance with the Larmor precession frequency equation, to subsequently disturb this alignment with the use of an alternating magnetic field, of orthogonal orientation.

The behavior of the nuclei in the magnetic field can be influenced in multiple ways, to give different types of information, but the basic information obtained is:

  • Frequency at which each particular nuclei comes out, displacement.
  • Number of nucleis of each type, integral.
  • Number and arrangement of nearby nuclei, multiplicity.

Im doing a science project and need examples and non-examples of an Atom. some examples of an atom is neon, hydrogen, argon, etc
gogolik [260]

Answer:

Anything not on the periodic table is an element non example! ... So, for a substance to be an element, all of its atoms must have the same number of protons. Examples of elements include hydrogen, lithium, nickel, and radium.

Which are components of cell theory? Check all that apply.
STatiana [176]

Answer:

All living things are made up of cells.

cells are the basic unit of structure and function of ll living things.

All cells are come from other cells.

Explanation:

The cell theory is historic scientific theory and is universally accepted. This theory was given by Robert Hook in 1665. According to this theory all living things are made up cells.

Cell:

Cell is the smallest unit of life and it is building block of life.

This theory consist of following points:

All living things are made up of cells.

Cells are the basic unit of structure and function of ll living things.

All cells are come from other cells. Which means that cells are originated from pre-existing cells.

The other given options:

Cells comes from nonliving matter.

Cells make up most organisms bu not all.

These are two are not the postulate of cell theory because all living organisms are made of cells.
