No, if H2O is separated into H2 and O, then it is not the same substance
B. It is open to change as new evidence or data is discovered. If scientists discover new evidence, they must modify their theories to conform with the new data.
A. is <em>incorrect</em>. Scientific laws are so well established that there can be no exceptions.
C. is <em>incorrect</em>. A scientific theory is the collective judgement of scientists as to the best explanation for a phenomenon. A new observation may require modification of the theory.
D. is <em>incorrect</em>. Advancements in technology can provide new evidence that requires new explanations.
The principle that in any closed system
Answer:
(a) See below
(b) 103.935 °F; 102.235 °F
Explanation:
The equation relating the temperature to time is

1. Calculate the thermometer readings after 0.5 min and 1 min
(a) After 0.5 min

(b) After 1 min

2. Calculate the thermometer reading after 2.0 min
T₀ =106.321 °F
ΔT = 100 - 106.321 °F = -6.321 °F
t = t - 1, because the cooling starts 1 min late

3. Plot the temperature readings as a function of time.
The graphs are shown below.
