Chemistry

In a way, all of the answers could be argued for (for example: in the first option: if the scientists' opinions are understood to be "informed understanding of the causes of events"), but one of the options is the best:
Scientific laws describe specific relationships in nature without offering
an explanation.

The reason why  I think this is true is that many laws are phased too short and too concise to provide comprehensive explanations, instead they describe the relationships that must hold.


One of the options is pplain false:
Scientific laws explain why natural events occur. -"Scientific laws were theories that have been tested, proven, and adopted as laws." - since they are not adopted as laws.

jeka94

Answer:

H₃PO₄ → 3H⁺ + PO₄³⁻

CaSO₄ → Ca²⁺ + SO₄²⁻

b. CaCl₂

Explanation:

When H₃PO₄ is dissolved in water, there are produced the H⁺ and PO₄³⁻ ions. The equation is:

H₃PO₄ → 3H⁺ + PO₄³⁻

In the same way, CaSO₄ is dissolved in:

CaSO₄ → Ca²⁺ + SO₄²⁻

b. Now, in a reaction of an acid (HCl) and a base (Ca(OH)₂), water, H₂O and a salt are produced:

2 HCl + Ca(OH)₂ → 2H₂O + Salt

The ions that are not present in the reaction are Cl⁻ and Ca²⁺, the salt is CaCl₂ and the balanced reaction is:

2 HCl + Ca(OH)₂ → 2H₂O + CaCl₂

Is it likely that an atom of Te would substitute for an atom of O in a solid compound? yes no indeterminate
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

The correct answer is no.

Explanation:

Tellurium is a chemical element denoted by Te and having atomic number 52. It is mildly toxic, brittle, silver-white, and rare metalloid. The element is chemically related to sulfur and selenium, all three of which are chalcogens.  

Oxygen is a chemical element, that is, a substance, which comprises only one kind of atom. Its official chemical symbol is O and exhibits an atomic number 8, this signifies that an atom of oxygen possesses eight protons in its nucleus. In the given question, it is not likely that tellurium would replace for oxygen, as the two elements are highly unlike.

What will happen if there is an insufficient supply of oxygen during the combustion of a hydrocarbon?
Kamila [148]
As long as there is some oxygen, the reaction will occur. If there is an insufficient amount of oxygen, then the oxygen will be the limiting reacting and there will be excess of the other reactants.
