A scientific _______ is an explanation for how something occurs. It is supported by a great deal of evidence.

1 answer:

5 0

Law, since "It is supported by a great deal of evidence. A theory is almost like an educated guess but a little more complex. Someone can have a theory and try to predict the outcome, which could be how they want it to go or how they don't want it to go. With a law, the scientist is basically certain of the outcome due to the evidence that was provided when the law was created.

The human body has four types of tissues, and the eye contains all four. Which statement correctly pairs the part of the eye

stepladder [879]

Answer:

The correct answer is D) Nerve tissue is found in the retina, the rods and cones at the back of the eye.

Explanation:

The rods and cones are photoreceptors (that is nerve cells within the eyes that can sense light) which is situated in the retina.

These photoreceptors also sense colours and send these signals into the optic nerve for transmission to the brain.

The noble gases are inert due to the fact that A. their valence shell is empty B. their valence shell is full C. their electrons

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

B) Their valence shell is full

Explanation:

In order to be classified as a noble gas, an element must have a complete octet/ a full shell of valence electrons, as shown in answer B.

A and C are just incorrect. Since noble gasses are very unstable, D is a true statement, but is isn't the correct answer as this does not explain why they are inert.

Consider the following reaction: A(g)⇌2B(g). Find the equilibrium partial pressures of A and B for each of the following differe

Illusion [34]

Answer:

a. Kp=1.4

$P_{A}=0.2215 atm$

$P_{B}=0.556 atm$

b.Kp=2.0 * 10^-4

$P_{A}=0.495atm$

$P_{B}=0.00995 atm$

c.Kp=2.0 * 10^5

$P_{A}=5*10^{-6}atm$

$P_{B}=0.9999 atm$

Explanation:

For the reaction

A(g)⇌2B(g)

Kp is defined as:

$Kp=\frac{(P_{B})^{2}}{P_{A}}$

The conditions in the system are:

A B

initial 0 1 atm

equilibrium x 1atm-2x

At the beginning, we don’t have any A in the system, so B starts to react to produce A until the system reaches the equilibrium producing x amount of A. From the stoichiometric relationship in the reaction we get that to produce x amount of A we need to 2x amount of B so in the equilibrium we will have 1 atm – 2x of B, as it is showed in the table.

Replacing these values in the expression for Kp we get:

$Kp=\frac{(1-2x)^{2}}{x}$
