Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A statement which states a scientifically acceptable general principle that is experimentally tested or verified is defined as a theory.

A theory is the sum of a number of observations which are tested in order to get the true result so that a statement can be framed.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, a theory is a well-tested explanation for a broad set of observations.

A theory is a \boxed{{\text{b) well - tested explanation for a broad set of observations}}}.

Further Explanation:

Scientific Method:

This method includes thinking about any subject, scientific problem or content. Observation, hypothesis, comparison, organization, prediction, experimentation, evaluation and application are included in scientific method.

Scientific method includes steps as enlisted below.

  • Understanding the experiment
  • Pose a testable question
  • Research the topic
  • State a hypothesis
  • Design the experiment
  • Perform the experiment
  • Data collection
  • Draw conclusions

Experiment:

It is defined as procedure framed for a specific purpose. It involves dependent as well as independent variables.

Theory:

It is a well-tested explanation for the data. This is accomplished when several set of observations are recorded. It cannot be accepted by just a single contrasting result.

Observation:

This is type of information collected by human beings. It results in raising several questions that lead to further investigations. It is necessary to collect proofs for the respective investigations.

Hypothesis:

This is a proposed explanation for observation and is verified by an experiment.

Therefore a theory is defined as a well-tested explanation for broad set of observations.

How many polar bonds are found in this molecule
Law Incorporation [45]
A bond is non polar if it is between same atoms and polar if it is between different atoms.

Same atoms are like two dogs of same strength pulling a bone towards towards each other. But when it’s different atoms it’s like a big dog and small dog then the bone is more towards bigger dog. So it’s the same way in bonds.

Bonds are made up of electrons, when the more stronger pulling atom is present than other the electrons are more towards it and as a result we have polar bond. There is development of a kind of a negative pole and a positive pole.

The stronger atom has electrons towards itself so it has a little more negative charge while the other atom has positive charge. This makes bond polar.

So just look for bond between two different atoms, it would be polar.

Look at the pic below to see the answer.

Marked with green is bond between same atoms... one carbon and another carbon so it is not polar and test marked with blue are polar.

Well the answer should have been 10 but since the bonds at 3 and 8 are two of same type we count only one of them.


The answer is 8... well the answer should be 10 otherwise... discuss it with ur teacher

Calculate ∆G ◦ r for the decomposition of mercury(II) oxide 2 HgO(s) → 2 Hg(ℓ) + O2(g) ∆H◦ f −90.83 − − (kJ · mol−1 ) ∆S ◦ m 70.
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

4. +117,1 kJ/mol

Explanation:

ΔG of a reaction is:

ΔGr = ΔHr - TΔSr <em>(1)</em>

For the reaction:

2 HgO(s) → 2 Hg(l) + O₂(g)

ΔHr: 2ΔHf Hg(l) + ΔHf O₂(g) - 2ΔHf HgO(s)

As ΔHf of Hg(l) and ΔHf O₂(g) are 0:

ΔHr: - 2ΔHf HgO(s) = <u><em>181,66 kJ/mol</em></u>

<u><em /></u>

In the same way ΔSr is:

ΔSr= 2ΔS° Hg(l) + ΔS° O₂(g) - 2ΔS° HgO(s)

ΔSr= 2* 76,02J/Kmol + 205,14 J/Kmol - 2*70,19 J/Kmol

ΔSr= 216,8 J/Kmol = <em><u>0,216 kJ/Kmol</u></em>

Thus, ΔGr at 298K is:

ΔGr = 181,66 kJ/mol - 298K*0,216kJ/Kmol

ΔGr = +117,3 kJ/mol ≈ <em>4. +117,1 kJ/mol</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!
