Which statement best describes the difference between a scientific theory and a scientific law

Chemistry
2 answers:
Hitman42 [59]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The correct option is B

Explanation:

A scientific theory is usually proposed to explain certain observations after repeated experiments and available facts. However, a scientific law is more experimented and confirmed than scientific theories - this means scientific law is better supported by scientific facts and data than scientific theory.

Also, not all scientific law can be mathematically represented (includes equations).

A scientific law is a statement based on repeated observation. It will always be true under a certain set of circumstances.

A scientific theory is well supported (by evidence) explanation for an occurrence in the natural world.

A scientific law does not need to include an equation.

Therefore, the correct answer is B.

An aqueous potassium iodate (KIO3) solution is made by dissolving 553 grams of KIO3 in sufficient water so that the final volume
liberstina [14]

Answer:

M KIO3 = 1.254 mol/L

Explanation:

  • molarity (M) [=] mol/L

∴ w KIO3 = 553 g

∴ mm KIO3 = 214.001 g/mol

∴ volumen sln = 2.10 L

⇒ mol KIO3 = (553 g)×(mol/210.001 g) = 2.633 mol

⇒ M KIO3 = (2.633 mol KIO3 / (2.10 L sln)

⇒ M KIO3 = 1.254 mol/L

Which three temperature readings all mean the same thing?
allochka39001 [22]

Answer: The correct answer is D. 273 Kelvin, 0 degrees Celsius, 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

Explanation:

Conversion of degree Celsius to Kelvin :

K=^oC+273

Conversion of degree Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit :

^oF=(\frac{9}{5}\times ^oC)+32

By using these two conversion factors, we get the three temperature readings all mean the same thing.

For option A :

K=^oC+273=100+273=373K

^oF=(\frac{9}{5}\times ^oC)+32=(\frac{9}{5}\times 100)+32=212^oF

For option B :

K=^oC+273=100+273=373K

^oF=(\frac{9}{5}\times ^oC)+32=(\frac{9}{5}\times 100)+32=212^oF

For option C :

K=^oC+273=0+273=273K

^oF=(\frac{9}{5}\times ^oC)+32=(\frac{9}{5}\times 0)+32=32^oF

For option D :

K=^oC+273=0+273=273K

^oF=(\frac{9}{5}\times ^oC)+32=(\frac{9}{5}\times 0)+32=32^oF

From the given options, only option (D) is correct.

Hence, the correct option is, (D) 273 Kelvin, 0 degrees Celsius, 32 degrees Fahrenheit

Hope this helps!

Calculate ΔH o rxn for the following: CH4(g) + Cl2(g) → CCl4(l) + HCl(g)[unbalanced] ΔH o f [CH4(g)] = −74.87 kJ/mol ΔH o f [CCl
anzhelika [568]

Answer:  ΔH for the reaction is -277.4 kJ

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction is,

CH_4(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightarrow CCl_4(l)+HCl(g)

The expression for enthalpy change is,

\Delta H=\sum [n\times \Delta H(products)]-\sum [n\times \Delta H(reactant)]

\Delta H=[(n_{CCl_4}\times \Delta H_{CCl_4})+(n_{HCl}\times B.E_{HCl}) ]-[(n_{CH_4}\times \Delta H_{CH_4})+n_{Cl_2}\times \Delta H_{Cl_2}]

where,

n = number of moles

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get

\Delta H=[(1\times -139)+(1\times -92.31) ]-[(1\times -74.87)+(1\times 121.0]

\Delta H=-277.4kJ

Therefore, the enthalpy change for this reaction is, -277.4 kJ
