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.

When 100ml of M HCl is mixed with 100ml of N NaOH, the pH of the resulting solution is

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

Option d. 7

Explanation:

A mixture of a strong base and a strong acid produce a neutral salt and water.

This is the reaction of neutralization:

HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O

NaCl → Na⁺ + Cl⁻

Sodium chloride is neutral salt which does not give H⁻ neither OH⁻ to medium, that's why pH is neutral.

Both ions are derivated from a strong acid and base so they do not make hydrolisis. They are a conjugate pair of a weak acid and base. The reactions can not occur:

Cl⁻ + H₂O ← OH⁻ + HCl

Na⁺ + H₃O⁺ ← NaOH + H₂O

Which of these limiting factors is MOST likely to affect low-growing plants in a tropical forest? Group of answer choices air wa

Georgia [21]

Answer:

air, water, sunlight

Explanation:

A limiting factor may be defined as a environmental condition or a resource that can limit the plant growth as well as distribution or the abundance of an organism or its population within the ecosystem. The ability of any plant species to grow and spread throughout any geographic area is the direct result of the adaption to its biotic and abiotic components of that region.

Some of the factor that affect the plant growth are : sunlight, air, proper temperature, moisture, nutrients, wind,etc.

The lack of the any one of the above essential component will determine the health of the plant.

If I leave 750 mL of 0.75 M sodium chloride solution uncovered on a windowsill and 150 mL of the solvent evaporates, what will t

maks197457 [2]

the answer to your question is

M1V1=M2V2

V2=750-150=600 ml

0.75M*750 ml = M2*600

M2=0.75*750/600 ≈ 9.38 M

How does the crystalline structure of a metal differ from the structure of an ionic compound, such as sodium chloride or cesium

Sergio [31]

Answer:

The metal cube lattice is made of only one kind of atom.

Explanation:

As we know that metallic crystals are made up of only one kind of element. A metal crystal is actually a huge sea of positive charges embedded in the layers of negative charges (electrons). The whole crystal is made up of same kind of atoms, e.g crystals of gold, crystals of iron.

If we talk about structure of metallic crystal, it can be body centered cubic, simple cubic, hexagonal or close cubic packing.

Now, coming towards the ionic crystals, we know that they are basically the crystals of ionic compounds like sodium chloride or cesium chloride. These crystals are formed due to ionic bonding between two or more than two kinds of elements/atoms. It is not possible for an ionic crystal to be composed of only one kind of atom. As far as structure is concerned, they can have different structure based on bonding between atoms in an ionic compound, e.g NaCl has octahedral geometry.

Therefore, it is very evident that best option is A.
