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 many atoms of oxygen (O) are in one formula unit of Mg(NO3)2?
miv72 [106K]
We may use the molecular formula of the compound to determine the number of oxygen atoms in one formula unit. The formula unit is:
Mg(NO₃)₂
Here, we can see that there are two nitrate ions in each mole, and each mole of nitrate ion contains three oxygen atoms. Thus, there are 6 oxygen atoms in each formula unit of magnesium nitrate.

How many milliliters of 0.150 M NaOH are required to neutralize 85.0 mL of 0.300 M H2SO4 ? The balanced neutralization reaction
nekit [7.7K]

Answer : The volume of NaOH required to neutralize is, 340 mL

Explanation :

To calculate the volume of base (NaOH), we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2

where,

n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is H_2SO_4

n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is NaOH.

We are given:

n_1=2\\M_1=0.300M\\V_1=85.0mL\\n_2=1\\M_2=0.150M\\V_2=?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

2\times 0.300M\times 85.0mL=1\times 0.150M\times V_2\\\\V_2=340mL

Hence, the volume of NaOH required to neutralize is, 340 mL
