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.

How do transmittance, absorbance, and molar absorptivity differ? Which one is proportional to concentration?
Komok [63]

Answer:

The transmittance is the amount of energy that a body goes through in a certain amount of time without being absorbed and the absorbance is the amount of light that is absorbed by a solution.

There is no difference between absorptivity and molar absorptivity because the two terms express the same idea, because molar absorptivity is the absorbance of a solution per unit path length and concentration, so that the absorbance is proportional to concentration.

Rank the following substances in order from most soluble in water to least soluble in water: ethane, C2H6; 2-butanol, C4H9OH; po
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

Potassium chloride > Butanol >Propane > Ethane

Explanation:

Water is a polar solvent and it is likely to dissolve polar molecules.

KCl is ionic in nature and is completely polar and the solubility of the salt, potassium chloride is the highest.

Butanol can form hydrogen bonding with the water despite having a carbon chain. Thus, butanol will be at second.

Taking about, ethane and propane, both are non polar and least likely to dissolve in water. But, the extent of the London forces increases with the increase in the molecular weight. So, propane will dissolve faster than ethane.

The order is:

Potassium chloride > Butanol >Propane > Ethane

Cindy made tea. She started with 300 grams of water at 20 degrees Celsius. She transferred 18,000 calories to the water. What wa
Serjik [45]

Answer:

T final = 80°C

Explanation:

  • Q = mCpΔT

∴ Q = 18000 cal

∴ m H2O = 300 g

∴ Cp H2O (15°C) = 0.99795 cal/g.K ≅ 1 cal/g.K

∴ T1 = 20°C = 293 K

∴ T2 = ?

⇒ 18000 cal = (300 g)(1 cal/g.K)(T2 - 293 K)

⇒ (18000 cal)/(300 cal/K) = T2 - 293 K

⇒ T2 = 293 K + 60 K

⇒ T2 = 353 K (80°C)

Is the sky actually blue?
Mkey [24]

Answer:

When we look at an arbitrary point in the sky, away from the sun, we see only the light that was redirected by the atmosphere into our line of sight. Because that occurs much more often for blue light than for red, the sky appears blue. Violet light is actually scattered even a bit more strongly than blue.
