What statement best describes the difference between a scientific theory and a scientific law

1 answer:

5 0

Answer:In general, a scientific law is the description of an observed phenomenon. It doesn't explain why the phenomenon exists or what causes it. The explanation of a phenomenon is called a scientific theory.

Answer:

Synergism

Explanation:

This is an example of Synergism. Synergism is nothing but working out of two medicines together.

Examples of medical synergies are when doctors treat microbial heart infections with ampicillin and Gentamicin and when people with cancer undergo radiation and chemotherapy or more than one chemotherapy drug at a time.

An empty vial weighs 55.32 g. (a) If the vial weighs 185.56 g when filled with liquid mercury (d = 13.53 g/cm3). What i its volu

Tasya [4]

Answer:

a) Volume of vial= 9.626cm3

b) Mass of vial with water = 62.92 g

Explanation:

a) Mass of empty vial = 55.32 g

Mass of Vial + Hg = 185.56 g

Therefore,

$mass\ of\ Hg = 185.56-55.32 = 130.24 g$

Density of Hg = 13.53 g/cm3

$Volume\ of\ vial = Volume\ of\ Hg = \frac{Mass}{Density} \\\\= \frac{130.24g}{13.53g/cm3} = 9.626 cm3$

b) Volume of water = volume of vial = 9.626 cm3

Density of water = 0.997 g/cm3

$Mass\ of\ water = Density*volume = 0.997g/cm3*9.626cm3=9.60 g\\\\Total\ Mass\ of\ vial = Empty\ vial + mass\ of\ water\\= 53.32+9.60= 62.92g$

Consider a situation in which 211 g

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

3.00 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of P₄ = 211 g

Mass of oxygen = 240 g

Moles of P₂O₅ = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

P₄ + 5O₂ → 2P₂O₅

Number of moles of P₄:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 211 g / 123.88 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.7 mol

Number of moles of O₂ :

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 240 g / 32g/mol

Number of moles = 7.5 mol

Now we will compare the moles of product with reactant.

O₂ : P₂O₅

5 : 2

7.5 : 2/5×7.5 = 3.00

P₄ : P₂O₅

1 : 2

1.7 : 2×1.7 = 3.4 mol

Oxygen is limiting reactant so the number of moles of P₂O₅ are 3.00 mol.

Mass of P₂O₅:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 3 mol ×283.9 g/mol

Mass = 852 g
