What are the purposes of theories in science?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Leto [7]4 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).

why might you find fossil evidence of both an ocean and a forest at different depths in the same location??
skad [1K]

Answer:

The fossil evidence of both an ocean and a forest can be found at different depths in the same location because there might have been a presence of both an ocean and a forest at the same location at different times in the history of Earth.

Explanation:

It is clear from various studies that the Earth has had a diverse geologic history in which events like drastic climate changes, upsurging of oceans, rapid desertification, etc., have taken place many times.

Thus, the possibility of an ocean and forest having shared a single location at different times in the history of Earth cannot be neglected.

How many grams of Kr are in a 9.59 L cylinder at 46.0 'C and 4.62 atm?<br> mass:
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Mass = 141.6 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Kr in gram =  ?

Volume in L = 9.59 L

Temperature = 46.0°C

Pressure = 4.62 atm

Solution:

The given problem will be solve by using general gas equation,

PV = nRT

P= Pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K  

T = temperature in kelvin

Now we will convert the temperature.

46.0+273 = 319 K

4.62 atm × 9.59 L = n× 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K  ×319 K

44.3 atm.L = n×26.19 atm.L/ mol

n = 44.3 atm.L / 26.19 atm.L/ mol

n = 1.69 mol

Mass in gram:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 1.69 mol × 83.79 g/mol

Mass = 141.6 g

the atomic mass of magnesium is 24 daltons and the atomic number is 12. a. how many electrons does an electrically neutral magne
vekshin1

Atomic Mass will be 23 the new magnesium formed will be its isotope of magnesium.

We know that,

In stable condition

Number of electrons = Number of protons

Atomic number represents number of proton .

So, here number of proton is 12

Therefore, number of electron is 12

We know that -

Atomic mass = number of protons +Number of neutron

So if magnesium loses one neutron i.e. new number of neutron is 11

then its atomic mass changes.

New atomic mass will be

Atomic mass = 12 + 11

Atomic mass = 23

This new element with atomic mass 23 and atomic number 12 is the isotope of magnesium.
