Answer:

Explanation:

Uniformitarianism - "The Present is the Key to the Past"

Uniformitarianism is a geological doctrine. It states that current geologic processes, occurring at the same rates observed today, in the same manner, account for all of Earth's geological features. Thus, it assumes that geological processes are essentially unchanged today from those of the unobservable past, and that there have been no cataclysmic events in earth's history. As present processes are thought to explain all past events, the Uniformitarian slogan is, "the present is the key to the past.

Answer: Molarity of $Cl^-$ anions in the chemist's solution is 0.0104 M

Explanation:

Molarity : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present per liter of the solution.

Formula used :

$Molarity=\frac{n\times 1000}{V_s}$

where,

n= moles of solute

$Moles=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}=\frac{0.049g}{95g/mol}=5.2\times 10^{-4}moles$

$V_s$ = volume of solution in ml = 100 ml

Now put all the given values in the formula of molarity, we get

$Molarity=\frac{5.2\times 10^{-4}moles\times 1000}{100ml}=5.2\times 10^{-3}mole/L$

Therefore, the molarity of solution will be $5.2\times 10^{-3}mole/L$

$MgCl_2\rightarrow Mg^{2+}+2Cl^-$

As 1 mole of $MgCl_2$ gives 2 moles of $Cl^-$

Thus $5.2\times 10^{-3}$ moles of $MgCl_2$ gives = $\frac{2}{1}\times 5.2\times 10^{-3}=0.0104$

Thus the molarity of $Cl^-$ anions in the chemist's solution is 0.0104 M

An explanation of what will happen every time in a specific situation

kramer

The one that is being described above is what we call SCIENTIFIC LAW. Scientific law is what explains of what will happen every time in a certain situation. This is also different from scientific theory since scientific theory only gives an explanation to a group of happenings and this can still be modified. Hope this helps.
