A scientifc theory is as close as you can get to total fact as can possibly get. before a hypothises becomes a theory it needs to be tested and peer reviewed. example might be evolution theory or germ theory.
Laws are things that are facts and you can observe it all the time. example might be gravity.

A scientific law is a statement based on repeated experimental observations that describes some aspects of the universe. A scientific law always applies under the same conditions, and implies that there is a causal relationship involving its elements.A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment. Such fact-supported theories are not "guesses" but reliable accounts of the real world.

Using the thermodynamic information in the ALEKS Data tab, calculate the standard reaction free energy of the following chemical

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

43.0 kJ

Explanation:

The free energy (ΔG) measures the total energy that is presented in a thermodynamic system that is available to produce useful work, especially at thermal machines. In a reaction, the value of the variation of it indicates if the process is spontaneous or nonspontaneous because the free energy intends to decrease, so, if ΔG < 0, the reaction is spontaneous.

The standard value is measured at 25°C, 298 K, and the value of free energy varies with the temperature. It can be calculated by the standard-free energy of formation (G°f), and will be:

ΔG = ∑n*G°f products - ∑n*G°f reactants, where n is the coefficient of the substance in the balanced reaction.

By the balanced reaction given:

2NOCl(g) --> 2NO(g) + Cl2(g)

At ALEKS Data tab:

G°f, NOCl(g) = 66.1 kJ/mol

G°f, NO(g) = 87.6 kJ/mol

G°f, Cl2(g) = 0 kJ/mol

ΔG = 2*87.6 - 2*66.1

ΔG = 43.0 kJ

Answer:

PLEASE SOMEONE SOLVE THE QUESTION OR I'M GONNA FAIL

Explanation:

Purpose and Theory: A tablet of vitamin C contains the active ingredient called ascorbic acid (HC,H,0.).

Ascorbic acid is an organic acid which is a white power and is soluble in water.

In the following microtitration lab you will be grinding up a vitamin C tablet

, and using a 0.10 g sample of the

vitamin C powder, which will be dissolved in 20-40 mL of water. This solution will be used to determine the

quantity of ascorbic acid in a commercial vitamin C tablet.
