I think that the best phrase to fit into the blank is a "scientific theory".
A scientific theory is developed through experiments which use the scientific method, and a theory can be improved if additional data is available or if people provide suggestions which make the theory fit the data better.
Answer:
0.0018 mol/min is the average rate of carbon dioxide gas production in moles per minute during the 10 minutes.
Explanation:
Pressure of carbon dioxide gas = P = 0.25 atm
Volume of carbon dioxide gas = V = 5.0 L
Moles of carbon dioxide gas = n
Temperature of the carbon dioxide gas,T = 550°C = 550+273 K = 823 K
Using an ideal gas equation :


n = 0.018 mol
In 10 minutes pressure of carbon dioxide gas reached to 0.25 atm
Average rate of production of moles of carbon dioxide gas per minute in duration of 10 minutes:

0.0018 mol/min is the average rate of carbon dioxide gas production in moles per minute during the 10 minutes.
Answer:
I believe it is D
Explanation:
since Rutherford's explanation, when he made it in 1911, was that scattering was caused by a hard, dense court to centre of the Adam, which is the nucleus and he used Alpha particles to observe the scattered backwards from a gold foil
