Answer:

1. Models and theories should explain known fact.

2. Models and theories should enable scientists to make accurate deductions and predictions.

Explanation:

A model involves the use of a physical, conceptual, or mathematical representation to describe a real phenomenon that could not be understood by mere direct observation. It could be in the form of a diagram or picture, aircraft model kit etc.

A theory is a well tested and confirmed phenomenon through repeated observations and experiments. It is a stronger assertion that explains the facts about a phenomenon. Such are not guesses or mere saying, but reliable accounts of some phenomenon in the real world.

Therefore for models and theories to be valid, they must explain known facts and enable scientists to make accurate predictions.

Complete combustion of 5.90 g of a hydrocarbon produced 19.2 g of CO2 and 5.89 g of H2O. What is the empirical formula for the h

scZoUnD [109]

$44g \ CO_{2} \ \ \ \rightarrow \ \ 12g \ C\\
19,2g \ CO_{2} \rightarrow \ \ \ x\\\\
x=\frac{19,2g*12g}{44g}\approx5,24g \ \ \ \Rightarrow \ \ n=\frac{5,24g}{12\frac{g}{mol}}\approx0,44mol\\\\\\
18g \ H_{2}O \ \ \ \rightarrow \ \ \ 2g \ H\\
5,89g \ H_{2}O \ \rightarrow \ \ y\\\\
y=\frac{5,89g*2g}{18g}\approx0,65g \ \ \ \ \Rightarrow \ \ n=\frac{0,65g}{1\frac{g}{mol}}=0,65mol\\\\\\
n_{C}:n_{H}=0,44:0,65\approx1:1\\\\
CH$

Which of the following below is the complete ionic equation of the reaction: Calcium nitrate and sodium sulfide solutions react

3241004551 [841]

To find the net ionic equation we must first write the balanced equation for the reaction. We must bear in mind that the reagents Ca(NO3)2 and Na2S are in the aqueous state and as product we will have CaS in the solid state, since it is not soluble in water and NaNO3 in the aqueous state.

The balanced equation of the reaction will be:

$Ca(NO_3)_{2(aq)}+Na_2S_{(aq)}\rightarrow CaS_{(s)}+2NaNO_{3(aq)}$

Ca(NO3)2(aq) + → Ca(aq) + 2Na(s)NO3Now, c(aq)ompounds in the aqueous state can be written in their ionic form, so the reaction will transform into:Na2S +

$Ca_{(aq)}^{2+}+2(NO_3)_{(aq)}^-+2Na_{(aq)}^++S_{(aq)}^{2-}\operatorname{\rightarrow}CaS_{(s)}+2Na_{(aq)}^++2NO^-_{3(aq)}$

So, the answer will be option A
