Answer: A

Explanation:

Hypothesis have to be based on previous knowledge and have to be able to be tested but the problem is most hypothesis can’t be explained so it’s impossible to prove a hypothesis correct because science uses inductive reasoning

You find a compound composed only of element X and chlorine and you know that the compound is 13.10% X by mass. Each molecule of

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

Explanation:

So, the formula for the compound should be:

$XCl_{6}$

Now we assume that we have 1 mol of substance, so we can make calculations to know the molar mass of element X, as follows:

$M_{Cl}=35.45g/mol\\$

So we have that 6 moles weight 212.7g, and we can make a rule of three to know the weight of compound X:

$212.7g\rightarrow 86.9\%\\x\rightarrow 13.1\%\\\\x=\frac{212.7g*13.1}{86.9} =32.06g$

As we used 1 mol, we know that the molar mass is 32.06g/mol

So the element has a molar mass of 32.06 g/mol and an oxidation state of +6, with this information, we can assure that the element X is sulfur, so the compound is $SCl_{6}$

All compounds are molecules but not all molecules are compounds. Explain this statement.

Elis [28]

All compounds are molecules because a molecule is 2 or more substances/elements combined and a compound is 2 or more elements combined. But not all molecules are elements because some molecules are just combined substances with no elements combined at all.

How many of each component are shown in the diagram? Check all that apply. one battery two switches two batteries two resistors

VikaD [51]

<h3>In reference to the diagram attached </h3><h3>Answer:</h3>

one battery, two switches, and three light bulbs

Explanation:

A circuit is an arrangement that shows the flow of electrons from a current source such as a battery.

The diagram shows a circuit that contains one battery, two switches, and three light bulbs.
The switches serves to close the circuit when necessary.
The battery supplies current to the circuit.
The light bulbs are used for lighting.
