1.Which statement best describes scientific laws

1 answer:

6 0

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.

A chemist needs 0.550 mol selenium for a reaction. What mass of selenium should a chemist use?

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

The chemist would require to use 43.43 grams.

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we need to know<u> how much do 0.550 moles of selenium weigh</u>. To do that we use selenium's<em> molar mass </em>and multiply it by the given number of moles:

0.550 mol * 78.96 g/mol = 43.43 g

The chemist would require to use 43.43 grams.

CaO + H2O -> Ca(OH)2

yawa3891 [41]

The % yield of Ca(OH)₂ : 62.98%

<h3>Further eplanation </h3>

Percent yield is the compare of the amount of product obtained from a reaction with the amount you calculated

General formula:

Percent yield = (Actual yield / theoretical yield )x 100%

An actual yield is the amount of product actually produced by the reaction. A theoretical yield is the amount of product that you calculate from the reaction equation according to the product and reactant coefficients

Reaction

CaO + H₂O ⇒ Ca(OH)₂

mass CaO= 4.2 g

mol CaO(MW=56,0774 g/mol) :

$\tt mol=\dfrac{mass}{MW}\\\\mol=\dfrac{4.2}{56,0774 g/mol}\\\\mol=0.075$

mol Ca(OH)₂ based on mol CaO

mol ratio CaO : Ca(OH)₂,= 1 : 1, so mol Ca(OH)₂ = 0.075

mass Ca(OH)₂(MW=74,093 g/mol) ⇒ theoretical

$\tt mass=mol\times MW\\\\mass=0.075\times 74,093 g/mol\\\\mass=5.557~g$

% yield :

$\tt =\dfrac{actual}{theoretical}\times 100\%\\\\=\dfrac{3.5}{5.557}\times 100\%\\\\=62.98\%$
