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

Chemistry
2 answers:
Hitman42 [59]4 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.

Approximately 0.0972 g of carbon dioxide gas can be dissolved in 100 mL of water at 40°C expressed in terms of parts per million
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

972 ppm

Explanation:

Percent (parts per hundred - pph), parts per million & parts per billion are ratios of a component of interest divided by total mix of several components.

That is, given 28%, this says 28/100, or 28ppm says 28/10⁶, or 28ppb says 28/10⁹.

To convert from the given (=> any of the three concentration ratios) simply multiply (X) where you wish to go.

Examples:

  • Convert 35% to ppm and ppb
  • 35% = (35/100) x 10⁶ppm = 3.5 x 10⁵ ppm
  • _______________________________
  • Convert 43 ppm to %
  • 43 ppm = (43/10⁶) x 100% = 4.3 x 10³%
  • ______________________________
  • Convert 81 ppb to ppm
  • 81 ppb = (81/10⁹) x 10⁶ppm = 8.1 x 10⁻² ppm

Notice how each 'Given' is expressed as a ratio of amount/100 (given pph or %),  or amount/10⁶ (given ppm) or amount/10⁹ (given ppb). All you need to do here is multiply by where you want to go.

=> Given % = (amount/100) x 10⁶ => ppm

=> Given ppm = (amount/10⁶) x 100 => %, or pph

=> Given ppb = (amount/10⁹) x 10⁶ => ppm

Given ratio x 100 = %, or x 10⁶ => ppm or x 10⁹ => ppb

Your Problem:

Given = (0.0972g/100g) x 10⁶ppm = 972 ppm

or, if you wish ppb => (0.0972g/100g) x 10⁹ppb = 972,000 ppb

A loaded coal wagon with a total mass of 20 000 kg is pushed by a force of 300 000 N. What was the wagon’s acceleration?
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

<h2>15 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{f}{m}  \\

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

a =  \frac{300000}{20000}  =  \frac{30}{2}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>15 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you

Why doesn't it matter which nonradioactive isotope of oxygen you breathe?
Greeley [361]

Isotopes of an element have same atomic number (number of protons) but vary in the mass number (number of neutrons). The chemical reactivity of an element is not affected by the change in mass number. So, for stable isotopes of Oxygen, (Oxygen-16, Oxygen-17 and Oxygen-18) the biochemical pathway of oxygen breathed in during respiration remains unaffected even with different isotopes. Only the radioactive isotopes of oxygen when breathed in may cause serious health hazards as they emit radiations that may damage the internal organs in the body.

How does the current model of the atom differ from j.j. thomsons model
hodyreva [135]
Thomson's model of the atom was called the plum pudding model. He discovered electrons, so he placed them in the atoms. This was before the nucleus was discovered.

Now, the current model is an atom that contains a positively charged nucleus (with both protons and neutrons), and negatively charged orbitals with electrons.
