What are the purposes of theories in science?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Leto [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Scientific theories are testable and make falsifiable predictions. They describe the causes of a particular natural phenomenon and are used to explain and predict aspects of the physical universe or specific areas of inquiry (for example, electricity, chemistry, and astronomy).

A good theory in the theoretical sense is (1) consistent with empirical observations; is (2) precise, (3) parsimonious, (4) explanatorily broad, and (5) falsifiable; and (6) promotes scientific progress (among others; Table 1.1).

A student carefully pipets 10.00ml of ethanol into a beaker. If ethanol has a density of 0.779g/ml, how many grams of ethanol we
lesantik [10]

Answer: 7.79 grams of ethanol were put into the beaker.

Explanation:

To calculate the mass of ethanol, we use the equation:

\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}

Density of ethanol = 0.779 g/mL

Volume of water = 10.00 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.779g/mL=\frac{\text{Mass of ethanol}}{10.00mL}\\\\\text{Mass of ethanol}=(0.779g/mL\times 10.00mL)=7.79g

Thus 7.79 grams of ethanol were put into the beaker.

Which statement is correct about the location of electrons in an atom according to the Quantum mechanical model? A) Electrons ar
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

B) Electrons are located in the cloud-like areas around the nucleus.

Explanation:

The quantum mechanical model of the atom does not consider the path through which an electron travels. It rather estimates the probability of where electrons can be found at each energy level.

The region of maximum probability of where an electron is located is sometimes called an electron cloud or orbital. Each orbital of an atom and the electrons accomodated are described completely by a set of four quantum numbers.

Which produces wave particles that move and displace one another? A) a radio B) a guitar C) a light bulb D) a microwave oven
Semmy [17]
The answer is B. A guitar generally produces sound waves that propagate when the strings are strummed. The strings are displaced through the vibrations caused by contact of the hand and the guitar. You will also notice the vibrations by looking closely to the string. Wave particles continuously collide with each other to make a sustaining or prolonging sound.

How many grams are in 1 mole of Pb3(PO4)4?
kvasek [131]

Answer:

In 1 mol of Pb₃(PO₄)₄ occupies 1001.48 grams

Explanation:

This compound is the lead (IV) phosphate.

Grams that occupy 1 mole, means the molar mass of the compound

Pb = 207.2  .3 = 621.6 g/m

P = 30.97 .4 = 123.88 g/m

O = (16 .  4) . 4 = 256 g/m

621.6 g/m + 123.88 g/m + 256 g/m = 1001.48 g/m

The osmotic pressure exerted by a solution is equal to the molarity multiplied by the absolute temperature and the gas constant
enot [183]

Answer: C=\frac{\pi}{R\times T}

Explanation:-

Osmotic pressure is a colligative property which depends on the amount of solute added.

\pi=CRT

\pi = osmotic pressure = 5.1 atm

C= concentration in Molarity

R= solution constant = 0.0821 Latm/Kmol

T= temperature = 312 K

C=\frac{\pi}{R\times T}

C=\frac{5.1atm}{0.0821Latm/Kmol\times 312K}=0.2mol/L

Thus the equation for calculating the molarity of this solution is C=\frac{\pi}{R\times T}
