First you would start with a hypothesis, which is an idea that hasn't been proven yet.

-----

If enough evidence accumulates to support the hypothesis, it moves to the next step — which is a theory — in the scientific method and becomes accepted as a valid explanation of a phenomenon.

----

A theory is something that has scientific method behind it and it is accepted by the scientific community as a valid explaination of a phenomenon.

Answer:

Explanation:

A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment. Such fact-supported theories are not "guesses" but reliable accounts of the real world.

You have 50 ml of a complex mixture of weak acids that contains some HF (pKa = 3.18) and some HCN (pKa = 9.21). Which is larger,
telo118 [61]

Answer:

\frac{[F^{-}]}{[HF]} is larger

Explanation:

pK_{a}=-logK_{a} , where K_{a} is the acid dissociation constant.

For a monoprotic acid e.g. HA, K_{a}=\frac{[H^{+}][A^{-}]}{[HA]} and \frac{[A^{-}]}{[HA]}=\frac{K_{a}}{[H^{+}]}

So, clearly, higher the K_{a} value , lower will the the pK_{a}

In this mixture, at equilibrium, [H^{+}] will be constant.

K_{a} of HF is grater than K_{a} of HCN

Hence, (\frac{F^{-}}{[HF]}=\frac{K_{a}(HF)}{[H^{+}]})>(\frac{CN^{-}}{[HCN]}=\frac{K_{a}(HCN)}{[H^{+}]})

So, \frac{[F^{-}]}{[HF]} is larger

Which of the following is most electronegative? P,N,Mg,C,O
Elanso [62]
It's Oxygen.
electronegativity is an arbitrary measure of how much will an electron get attracted to an atom of an element
as we know, oxygen is the best at accepting electrons from this list, so the answer is oxygen

What is the concentration of a solution of a 40.0 g of NaOH in 2.5 L of solution?
RoseWind [281]

Answer: 0.4M

Explanation:

Given that,

Amount of moles of NaOH (n) = ?

Mass of NaOH in grams = 40.0g

For molar mass of NaOH, use the atomic masses: Na = 23g; O = 16g; H = 1g

NaOH = (23g + 16g + 1g)

= 40g/mol

Since, n = mass in grams / molar mass

n = 40.0g / 40.0g/mol

n = 1 mole

Volume of NaOH solution (v) = 2.5 L

Concentration of NaOH solution (c) = ?

Since concentration (c) is obtained by dividing the amount of solute dissolved by the volume of solvent, hence

c = n / v

c = 1 mole / 2.5 L

c = 0.4 mol/L (Concentration in mol/L is the same as Molarity, M)

Thus, the concentration of a solution of a 40.0 g of NaOH in 2.5 L of solution is 0.4 mol/L or 0.4M
