Demonstrate In A Brief Paragraph How The Search To Explain Planetary Orbits Exemplifies The Scientific Method

People firstly believe that the planets move in a circular orbit until Newton came up with his hypothesis by inventing calculus so that we could understood and calculated planetary orbits and their accuracy.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Everyone assumed the planets were perfect circles until Newton came up with an idea. Slowly people would make maps of the orbits that added circles on circles, and they could never really explain about the movement of the planet. They simply say that planets move on circles but they lacked the math to explain or prove it. Then Newton came up with an idea of inventing calculus so that we could understood and calculated planetary orbits and their accuracy.
  • Firstly people used their observations and say that the orbits looked like circles, then they developed their models and did the math, and proposed their hypothesizes which were wrong, until Newton came along and tried to match a model that used elliptical orbits and invented the math that allowed him to make predictions with it. His model worked for most planets.
  • However he could not explain about the planet Mercury for instance since it was a very strange orbit. Then after the Einstein's theory of General Relativity he could also explain very deeply about it.
  • Scientists and Astronomers made hypothesizes that there was another planet orbiting too close to the sun to see with telescopes, called Vulcan, that explained mercury's orbit before Einstein's theory. Then long after we had telescopes which was good enough to see if there was a planet orbiting closer to the sun than mercury.

Propane gas reacts with oxygen according to this balanced equation: C subscript 3 H subscript 8 space (g )space plus space 5 spa
Misha Larkins [42]

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation of the reaction is:

C_3H_8(g)+ 5O_2 (g)->3CO_2(g)+4H_2O(g)

From the balanced chemical equation,

1 mole of propane forms ------ 3 mol. of CO_2 gas.

The molar mass of propane is 44.1 g/mol.

One mole of any gas at STP occupies --- 22.4 L.

Hence, 44 g of propane forms (3x22.4 L=) 67.2 L of CO2 gas at STP.

Answer:

Thus, 67.2 L of CO2 is formed at STP.

One mole of ANY element contains the:
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

1)The molar mass of an atom is simply the mass of one mole of identical atoms. However, most of the chemical elements are found on earth not as one isotope but as a mixture of isotopes, so the atoms of one element do not all have the same mass.

2)Equally important is the fact that one mole of a substance has a mass in grams numerically equal to the formula weight of that substance. Thus, one mole of an element has a mass in grams equal to the atomic weight of that element and contains 6.02 X 1023 atoms of the element.
