Answer:
Scientific theories are testable and make falsifiable predictions. They describe the causes of a particular natural phenomenon and are used to explain and predict aspects of the physical universe or specific areas of inquiry (for example, electricity, chemistry, and astronomy).
A good theory in the theoretical sense is (1) consistent with empirical observations; is (2) precise, (3) parsimonious, (4) explanatorily broad, and (5) falsifiable; and (6) promotes scientific progress (among others; Table 1.1).
Answer: when reactants and products are gases at STP.
Justification:
1) STP stands for standard temperature (0°) and pressure (1 atm).
2) According to the kinetic molecular theory of the gases, and as per Avogadro's principle, equal volumes of gases, at the same temperature and pressure, have the same number of molecules.
3) Since the coefficients in a balanced chemical equation represent number of moles, when reactants and products are gases at the same temperature and pressure, the mole ratios are the same that the volume ratios, and then the coefficients of the chemical equation represent the volume ratios.
Answer:
D — All of them
Explanation:
The activation energy in a reaction is the minimum amount of energy required for a chemical reaction to take place. Since all the options are processes in a chemical reaction, D should be the answer.
Answer is: the partial pressure of the helium gas is 0.158 atm.
p(mixture) = 0.48 atm; total pressure.
m(H₂) = 1.0 g; mass of hydrogen gas.
n(H₂) = m(H₂) ÷ M(H₂).
n(H₂) = 1.0 g ÷ 2 g/mol.
n(H₂) = 0.5 mol; amount of hydrogen.
m(He) = 1.0 g; mass of helium.
n(He) = 1 g ÷ 4 g/mol.
n(He) = 0.25 mol; amount of helium.
χ(H₂) = 0.5 mol ÷ 0.75 mol.
χ(H₂) = 0.67; mole fraction of hydrogen.
χ(He) = 0.25 mol ÷ 0.75 mol.
χ(He) = 0.33; mole fraction of helium.
p(He) = 0.33 · 0.48 atm.
p(He) = 0.158 atm; the partial pressure of the helium gas.
