How does a scientific theory differ from a scientific law?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Bas_tet [7]3 years ago
7 0

1.A law is an observation; a theory is the explanation of that observation.

2.A theory requires experimentation under various conditions. A law has no such requirements.
3.A theory may become obsolete with time. This is not the case with a law.
4.A theory can be replaced by another better theory; however, this never happens with a law.
5.A theory may be strong or weak according to the amount of evidence available. A law is a universally observable fact.


Hope this helps:)

The atmosphere's variable gases that most influence the greenhouse effect are _____. nitrogen and oxygen argon and carbon dioxid
Katena32 [7]
The correct answer is carbon dioxide and water vapor

These negative gasses get modified and then remain in the atmosphere without the possibility of leaving, which is why the greenhouse effect occurs.

A baby weighs 7 pounds, 4 ounces at birth and 7 pounds, I ounce at discharge. What percent of weight did the baby lose
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

2.6%

Explanation:

As, 1 ounce (oz) =  0.0625 pounds (lb)

Therefore, weight of baby at discharge = 7 lb,1 oz = 7+0.0625 lb = 7.0625 lb

Since, 1 oz =  0.0625 lb

⇒ 4 oz = 4×0.0625 = 0.25 lb

Therefore, weight of baby at birth = 7 lb,4 oz = 7+0.25 lb = 7.25 lb

The <u>amount of weight lost</u> is equal to the difference of weight of the baby at birth and discharge.

Therefore, <u>weight lost</u> = 7.25 lb - 7.0625 lb = <u>0.1875 lb</u>

Now, the <u>percentage of weight lost</u> by the baby is given by the amount of weight lost divided by the weight of the baby at birth.

Therefore, <u>the percentage of weight los</u>t = weight lost ÷ weight at birth = 0.1875 lb ÷ 7.25 lb × 100 = <u>2.6% </u>

quizlet a basement is successfully sealed so that more radon may not enter the space, but 5.7×107 radon atoms are already trappe
12345 [234]

After 25 days, it remains radon 5.9x10^5 atoms.

Half-life is the time required for a quantity (in this example number of radioactive radon) to reduce to half its initial value.

N(Ra) = 5.7×10^7; initial number of radon atoms

t1/2(Ra) = 3.8 days; the half-life of the radon is 3.8 days

n = 25 days / 3.8 days

n = 6.58; number of half-lifes of radon

N1(Ra) = N(Ra) x (1/2)^n

N1(Ra) = 5.7×10^7 x (1/2)^6.58

N1(Ra) = 5.9x10^5; number of radon atoms after 25 days

The half-life is independent of initial concentration (size of the sample).

Temka [501]

Answer is: C. nuclear fission.

Nuclear fission is a nuclear reaction or a radioactive decay where nucleus of atom split into smaller ligher nuclei.

Nuclear fission is exothermic reaction which release large amounts of energy (electromagnetic radiation or as kinetic energy, which heat reactors where fission reaction take place).
