of the following is NOT a fact, but is a hypothesis? A. The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased since 1950. B. Increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide will cause mean global temperature to increase by 2 degrees Celsius over the next century. C. The burning of fossil fuels contributes substantially to the ongoing rise of atmospheric CO2. D. In the past, atmospheric CO2 levels reached levels higher than those observed today.

Answer:

B. Increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide will cause mean global temperature to increase by 2 degrees Celsius over the next century.

Explanation:

By definition, a hypothesis is a tentative statement or prediction with little or no experimental test. Hypotheses are always formulated such that they can be rejected if experimental findings are against them.

Hypotheses are predictive and as such, the tone is often in future tense.

<em>From the available options, only option B sound predictive of what might happen in the future. </em>

Hence, the correct option is B.

A student analyzed an antacid tablet from a bottle containing 120 tablets purchased for $2.79. The mass of the tablet was 1.247
BaLLatris [955]

The cost of one antacid is 2.325 cents per tablet.

<u>Explanation:</u>

As per the question based on the student analysis we know that,

Total antacid tablets in a bottle = 120

Purchase Price of a bottle = $ 2.79

Cost of 1 antacid tablet =\frac{2.79}{120}  

As we know $1 = 100 cent

The cost of 1 antacid tablet = \frac{2.79}{120} × 100 cents = 2.325 cents/tablet .

Thus we came to know that it costs 2.325 cents/tablet .

Whats the voltage of CuCl2 + Zn -&gt; ZnCl2 + Cu
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

Approximately 1.10\; {\rm V} under standard conditions.

Explanation:

Equation for the overall reaction:

{\rm CuCl_{2}}\, (aq) + {\rm Zn}\, (s) \to {\rm ZnCl_{2}} \, (aq) + {\rm Cu}\, (s).

Write down the ionic equation for this reaction:

\begin{aligned}& {\rm Cu^{2+}}\, (aq) + 2\; {\rm Cl^{-}}\, (aq) + {\rm Zn}\, (s)\\ & \to {\rm Zn^{2+}} \, (aq) + 2\; {\rm Cl^{-}}\, (aq) + {\rm Cu}\, (s)\end{aligned}.

The net ionic equation for this reaction would be:

{\rm Cu^{2+}}\, (aq) + {\rm Zn}\, (s) \to {\rm Zn^{2+}}\, (aq) + {\rm Cu}\, (s).

In this reaction:

  • Zinc loses electrons and was oxidized (at the anode): {\rm Zn}\, (s) \to {\rm Zn^{2+}}\, (aq) + 2\, {\rm e^{-}}.
  • Copper gains electrons and was reduced (at the cathode): {\rm Cu^{2+}}\, (aq) + 2\, {\rm e^{-}} \to {\rm Cu} \, (s).

Look up the standard potentials for each half-reaction on a table of standard reduction potentials.

Notice that {\rm Zn}\, (s) \to {\rm Zn^{2+}}\, (aq) + 2\, {\rm e^{-}} is oxidation and is likely not on the table of standard reduction potentials. However, the reverse reaction, {\rm Zn^{2+}}\, (aq) + 2\, {\rm e^{-}} \to {\rm Zn}\, (s), is reduction and is likely on the table.

  • E(\text{anode}) = -0.7618\; {\rm V} for {\rm Zn^{2+}}\, (aq) + 2\, {\rm e^{-}} \to {\rm Zn}\, (s), and
  • E(\text{cathode}) = 0.3419\; {\rm V} for {\rm Cu^{2+}}\, (aq) + 2\, {\rm e^{-}} \to {\rm Cu} \, (s).

The reduction potential of {\rm Zn}\, (s) \to {\rm Zn^{2+}}\, (aq) + 2\, {\rm e^{-}} would be -E(\text{anode}) = -(-0.7618\; {\rm V}) = 0.7618\; {\rm V}, the opposite of the reverse reaction {\rm Zn^{2+}}\, (aq) + 2\, {\rm e^{-}} \to {\rm Zn}\, (s).

The standard potential of the overall reaction would be the sum of the standard potentials of the two half-reactions:

\begin{aligned} E^{\circ} &= E^{\circ}(\text{cathode}) + (-E^{\circ}(\text{anode})) \\ &= 0.3419 - (-0.7618\; {\rm V}) \\ &\approx 1.10\; {\rm V}\end{aligned}.
