Several phones have been stolen from student backpacks. The school's dean has a theory about what happened. How is his "every da

y" theory different from a scientific theory?
1. The Dean's theory is an untested idea that he will investigate; scientific theories have already been investigated.
2. The Dean can investigate his theory; scientific theories cannot be investigated.
3. The Dean's theory can be supported by evidence; scientific theories are not supported by evidence.
4. The Dean's theory is an educated guess; scientific theories are just hunches.

Answer:

1. The Dean's theory is an untested idea that he will investigate; scientific theories have already been investigated.

Explanation:

Scientific theory by definition is something that can be tested. However, in science, a scientific theory generally is something that has already been tested (hence the scientific definition). Remember from math, Theorem is something that can be tested, Postulate is something you can't. By prescribing theorem on it, it means that you can test whether it is true or not.

As for the Dean, he has a "theory" of why phones are being stolen from student backpacks. However, it seems that he did not test for it (i.e., install security cameras, etc.). This means that, without testing, he cannot say it is a scientific theory.

The heat of vaporization ΔHv of dichloromethane CH2Cl2 is 28.0 /kJmol . Calculate the change in entropy ΔS when 3.3g of dichloro
ella [17]

Answer:

\Delta _VS=3.48x10^{-3}kJ=3.48J

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the change in the entropy, by knowing the change in the enthalpy and the temperature for a vaporization process is given by:

\Delta _VS=\frac{\Delta _VH}{T_V}

Thus, we start by computing the change in the enthalpy for the 3.3g of dichloromethane  as shown below:

\Delta _VH=3.3gCH_2Cl_2 *\frac{1molCH_2Cl_2}{84.9gCH_2Cl_2}*28\frac{kJ}{molCH_2Cl_2} =1.09kJ

Finally, the change in the entropy, considering the temperature in kelvins:

\Delta _VS=\frac{1.09kJ}{(39.8+273.15)K}\\\\\Delta _VS=3.48x10^{-3}kJ=3.48J

Best regards.

Decide which of the following statements are true and which are false, concerning the kinetic molecular theory.
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

1. A. True

2. A. True

3. B. False

4. A. True

5. B. False

Explanation:

1. The particles are in constant motion. The collisions of the particles with the walls of the container are the cause of the pressure exerted by the gas. A. True. The pressure of an ideal gas is higher than the one that would exert a real gas.

2. The particles are assumed to exert no forces on each other; they are assumed neither to attract nor to repel each other. A. True. The intermolecular forces are negligible.

3. The particles are so small compared with the distances between them that the volume of the individual particles can be assumed to be about 1 mL. B. False. The volume of the gas particles is negligible.

4. The molecules in a real gas have finite volumes and do exert forces on each other, thus real gases do not conform to some of the assumptions of an ideal gas as stated by the kinetic molecular theory. A. True. We cannot apply ideal gas laws to real gases.

5. The average kinetic energy of a collection of gas particles is assumed to be inversely proportional to the Kelvin temperature of the gas. B. False. The average kinetic energy of a collection of gas particles is assumed to be directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature of the gas.
