Are scientific theories all proven facts?

No! That’s why they’re called theories. Most of them have a lot of facts to back it up however the theories themselves are either proven or just hypothetical.

Answer:

Any scientific theory must be based on a careful and rational examination of the facts. Facts and theories are two different things. In the scientific method, there is a clear distinction between facts, which can be observed and/or measured, and theories, which are scientists' explanations and interpretations of the facts.

Explanation:

A scientific theory is an explanation of an aspect of the natural world that can be repeatedly tested and verified in accordance with the scientific method, using accepted protocols of observation, measurement, and evaluation of results.

When burning 180g of glucose in the presence of 192g of oxygen, water and carbon dioxide are produced?
Aneli [31]

The burning of glucose in presence of oxygen is called as combustion

The balanced reaction is

C6H12O6 + 6O2  ---> 6CO2 + 6H2O

Thus for each mole of glucose we need six moles of oxygen molecules

molar mass of glucose is 180g / mole

The moles of glucose present = mass / molar mass = 180 / 180 = 1 mole

The moles of oxygen present = mass / molar mass = 192 / 32 = 6 moles

Thus the reaction will go to completion and one mole of glucose will react with six moles of O2 to give six moles of CO2 and six moles of H2O

Mass of CO2 produced = moles X molar mass = 6 x 44 = 264 g

Mass of H2O produced = moles X molar mass = 6 x 18 = 108 g

What is the correct notation for a calcium ion whose outershell is a full octet?
horsena [70]
<span>Ca^(2+). Calcium is an alkaline earth metal with an atomic number of 20. Its electronic configuration is (2, 8, 8, 2). From the electronic configuration it would be observed that calcium has two valence electrons. Calcium shares these two electrons with non metals like sulphur in an ionic bond to obtain an outer shell which is full octet. Let me use Sulphur. When calcium gives out its two valence electrons its electronic configuration becomes (2, 8, 8) thereby obtaining a stable out shell and the calcium ion becomes Ca^(2+). The sulphur also obtains a stable octet because it has 6 valence electron initially.</span>
