Answer:

C. Theories have been confirmed through tests; hypotheses haven't.

Explanation:

In simple terms,<u> a theory is something that has been studied, tested, and validated with results</u> whereas <u>a hypothesis is when one "guesses" or "assumes" about something with no prior tests</u>. In short, a hypothesis can be best understood as just a proposal while theory can be taken as a validated result.

Through various trials and tests, a theory arrives whereas a hypothesis can be the initial stage of the testing. For example, in saying that "My hypothesis is that this metal cannot bend" is just assuming or expressing one's opinion. But when the metal is tested and a definite result is found, then that becomes a theory.

So, we can say that a theory is a confirmed result after tests while a hypothesis is not tested or confirmed with a definite result.

Thus, the <u>correct answer is option C. </u>

If the concentration of Mg2+ in the solution were 0.039 M, what minimum [OH−] triggers precipitation of the Mg2+ ion? (Ksp=2.06×

Elodia [21]

Answer:

2.30 × 10⁻⁶ M

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Concentration of Mg²⁺ ([Mg²⁺]): 0.039 M

Solubility product constant of Mg(OH)₂ (Ksp): 2.06 × 10⁻¹³

Step 2: Write the reaction for the solution of Mg(OH)₂

Mg(OH)₂(s) ⇄ Mg²⁺(aq) + 2 OH⁻(aq)

Step 3: Calculate the minimum [OH⁻] required to trigger the precipitation of Mg²⁺ as Mg(OH)₂

We will use the following expression.

Ksp = 2.06 × 10⁻¹³ = [Mg²⁺] × [OH⁻]²

[OH⁻] = 2.30 × 10⁻⁶ M

1.1214 mL will a 0.205-mole sample of He occupy at 3.00 atm and 200 K.

<h3>What is an ideal gas equation?</h3>

The ideal gas law (PV = nRT) relates the macroscopic properties of ideal gases. An ideal gas is a gas in which the particles (a) do not attract or repel one another and (b) take up no space (have no volume).

Using equation PV=nRT, where n is the moles and R is the gas constant. Then divide the given mass by the number of moles to get molar mass.

Given data:

P= 3.00 atm

V= ?

n=0.205 mole

R= $0.082057338 \;L \;atm \;K^{-1}mol^{-1}$
