I just had this question and I got it wrong but here's what is says to put:  Democritus' ideas were not supported by evidence. Dalton's theory was the first scientific theory because it relied on scientific investigative processes. Dalton's theory was supported by evidence and repeated investigation.

Democritus *suggested* the existence of the atom, that everything was made up of tiny particles, but wasn't really able to get more specific than that. Dalton also theorized that everything was made up of indivisible particles, but went further basing his theory on actual scientific principles, such as the Law of Conservation of Mass and the Law of Constant Composition. He also said that atoms weren't created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, just rearranged.  There's more to it than that, but basically, Dalton's theory was based more on science while Democritus' theory was too general to be useful in chemical situations.

In part 3 of the lab, you discovered the relationship between temperature (T) and volume (V) of a gas.
rewona [7]

\frac{V1}{T1} = k

<u>Explanation:</u>

The relation between volume, V of gas and Temperature, T of a gas is related by Charles Law.

This law states that the volume of a given amount of gas held at a constant pressure is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature

Thus,

\frac{V}{T} = k

where k is a constant

Therefore,

\frac{V1}{T1} = \frac{V2}{T2\\} = \frac{V3}{T3} ...

This shows, as the volume of a gas goes up, the temperature also goes up and vice-versa.

How many significant digits are in 89015
Lilit [14]

Answer:

Total 5 significant digits.

Explanation:

Significant digits are the numbers that give a meaningful contribution. For example, digit 013 has the 2  significant digits and zero is not a significant digit because digits 1 and 3 give meaningful contribution but digit zero does not value meaningful contribution. Similarly, the 89015 has a total of 5 significant digits and these digits are the 8, 9, 0, 1,  and 5.

What is the stoichiometric ratio between BaCl2 and NaCl
bixtya [17]
<span>BaCl2+Na2SO4---->BaSO4+2NaCl There is 1.0g of BaCl2 and 1.0g of Na2SO4, which is the limiting reagent? "First convert grams into moles" 1.0g BaCl2 * (1 mol BaCl2 / 208.2g BaCl2) = 4.8 x 10^-3 mol BaCl2 1.0g Na2SO4 * (1 mol Na2SO4 / 142.04g Na2SO4) = 7.0 x 10^-3 mol Na2SO4 (7.0 x 10^-3 mol Na2SO4 / 4.8 x 10^-3 mol BaCl2 ) = 1.5 mol Na2SO4 / mol BaCl2 "From this ratio compare it to the equation, BaCl2+Na2SO4---->BaSO4+2NaCl" The equation shows that for every mol of BaCl2 requires 1 mol of Na2SO4. But we found that there is 1.5 mol of Na2SO4 per mol of BaCl2. Therefore, BaCl2 is the limiting reagent.</span>
