How is the use of the word thoery in science different from its more common use ?​

Chemistry
1 answer:
DIA [1.3K]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

theory in science differs from the typical use of the word because in ghe science world, a theory is something that is plausible, but hasn't been proved or disproven. However, the typical use of the word theory, differs due to the fact that the context is generally used to say that this is something someone and many others believe, and is most commonly used in reference to conspiracy theories.

When 20.0 grams of an unknown compound are dissolved in 500. grams of benzene, the freezing point of the resulting solution is 3
Lelu [443]

Answer: 120g/mol

Explanation:

The first step we are to take is to calculate the freezing point depression of the solution.

ΔT(f) = freezing point of pure solvent - freezing point of solution

ΔT(f) = 5.48 - 3.77

ΔT(f) = 1.71°C

Next we are to calculate the molal concentration of the solution using freezing point depression

ΔT(f) = K(f) * m

m = ΔT(f)/K(f)

m = 1.71/5.12

m = 0.333 molal

Now, we calculate the molecular weight of the unknown...

m = 0.333 mol = 0.333 mol X per kg of benzene

moles of X = 0.333 mol of X per kg of benzene * 0.5kg of benzene

moles of X = 0.1665

molecular weight of X = 20g of X/0.1665

molecular weight of X = 120/mol

When it comes to physical changes like phase changes, there are two types of heat energy: sensible heat and latent heat. Sensible heat is the heat absorbed/released when you heat the substance but it doesn't change phase. An example would be heating lukewarm water. The substance is liquid all throughout. Latent heat, on the other hand, is the heat absorbed/released when there is a phase change. An example would be boiling water, because it changes liquid to vapor. 

Hence, for freezing liquid, you use the latent heat, specifically the heat of fusion. The answer should be

2.5 g * (1 mol/18.02 g) * 6.03 kJ/mol = 0.84 kJ/mol

The answer is not in the choices. You only use Hvap if you boil water.

Determine the number of charged particles in nucleus of calcium atom then deduce the number of electrons
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

detail is given below.

Explanation:

The charged particles of nucleus are protons while neutrons are neutral having no charge.

We know that an atom consist of electrons, protons and neutrons. Neutrons and protons are present inside the nucleus while electrons are present out side the nucleus.

Electron has a negative charge and is written as e⁻. The mass of electron is 9.10938356×10⁻³¹ Kg . While mass of proton and neutron is 1.672623×10⁻²⁷Kg and 1.674929×10⁻²⁷ Kg respectively.

Symbol of proton= P⁺  

Symbol of neutron= n⁰  

The number of electron or number of protons are called atomic number while mass number of an atom is sum of protons and neutrons.

one proton contribute 1 amu to the total weight. There are 20 protons and 20 neutrons in Ca thus its atomic mass is 40 amu.

While the atomic number is 20.
