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.

An experiment shows that a 236 mL gas sample has a mass of 0.443 g at a pressure of 740 mmHg and a temperature of 22 ∘C. What is

aleksley [76]

Answer:

49.2 g/mol

Explanation:

Let's first take account of what we have and convert them into the correct units.

Volume= 236 mL x ( $\frac{1 L}{1000 mL}$ ) = .236 L

Pressure= 740 mm Hg x ( $\frac{1 atm}{760 mm Hg}$ )= 0.97 atm

Temperature= 22C + 273= 295 K

mass= 0.443 g

Molar mass is in grams per mole, or MM= $\frac{mass}{moles}$ or MM= $\frac{m}{n}$ . They're all the same.

We have mass (0.443 g) we just need moles. We can find moles with the ideal gas constant PV=nRT. We want to solve for n, so we'll rearrange it to be

n= $\frac{PV}{RT}$ , where R (constant)= 0.082 L atm mol-1 K-1

Let's plug in what we know.

n= $\frac{(0.97 atm)(0.236 L)}{(0.082)(295K)}$

n= 0.009 mol

Let's look back at MM= $\frac{m}{n}$ and plug in what we know.

MM= $\frac{0.443 g}{0.009 mol}$

MM= 49.2 g/mol

Disadvantages of Mendeleev's periodic table

mestny [16]

Answer:

Various limitations of Mendeleev's periodic table are:-

Position of hydrogen - he couldn't assign a correct position to hydrogen as it showed properties of both alkali and halogens .

Position of isotopes - he considered that the properties of elements are a function of their atomic masses. Hence isotopes of a same element couldn't be placed.

In the d-block , elements with lower atomic number were placed before higher atomic number.
