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).

How does an indicator differentiate between an acid and base?
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

that is all I know sorry hope that may help you :)

Indicator is a substance which shows different colors in acidic and basic medium. Indicators can be natural (derived from natural sources) or artificial ( man-made) for example :

*Litmus is an indicator. Acid turns blue litmus into red while base turns red litmus into blue

* Turmeric solution does not show change in color (remains yellow) in acidic solution and turns red in basic solution.

What fraction of the gas phase molecules initially present for 1.0 atm in the chamber are present at 1.0×10−10 torr?
vivado [14]

The fraction of gas phase molecules is calculated by the division of final pressure to the initial pressure.

Fraction = \frac{P_{final}}{P_{initial}}     (1)

Here, initial pressure = 1.0 atm

final pressure = 1.0\times 10^{-10} torr

First, convert torr into atm

1 atm = 760 torr

final pressure = \frac{1.0\times 10^{-10}}{760}

= 1.316\times 10^{-13}atm

Now, put the value of initial and final pressure in formula (1)

Fraction = \frac{1.316\times 10^{-13}atm}{1.0 atm}  

= 1.316\times 10^{-13}  

Thus, fraction of the  gas phase molecules = 1.316\times 10^{-13} \simeq 1.3\times 10^{-13}
