Answer:
A well tested explanation of a natural phenomenon
Explanation:
A scientific theory is an explanation of a natural phenomenon which has been drawn from a well tested observation.
Theories are products of repeated scientific experiments. When a hypothesis otherwise known as a "scientific guess" survives a lot of scrutiny, we can elevate it to the status of a theory. Most theories starts off from simple observations. These observations can further spark series of experiments in such a field and a scientific guess proposed. Further testing and experimenting would now lead to a theory.
The universe comes into existence is first
The first neutral atoms form is second
The universe begins expanding is third
Gases form that will later go to shape stars and galaxies is fourth
Atomic nuclei form is last
I'm almost certain that is correct. Do not take my word for this.
There are 32 valence electrons for the Lewis structure for ClO4
Use Raoult's Law:
Psolution = (χsolvent) (P°solvent)
24.90 = (x) (25.756)
x = 0.966765 (this is the solvent mole fraction)
χsolute = 1 - 0.966765 = 0.033235
χsolute = 0.03324 (to four sig figs)
