The correct answer is option B, that is, hypothesis.  

A hypothesis refers to an anticipated illustration for an occurrence. It refers to a proposed illustration or a supposition made on the groundwork of inadequate proof as an initiation point for further investigation. In order for a hypothesis to be a scientific hypothesis, the scientific method needs that one can examine it.

Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the decomposition of solid calcium carbonate (CaCO_3)
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

CaCO₃(s) → CaO(s) + CO₂(g)

Explanation:

The decomposition reaction always make two compounds from one.

The products always have simpler chemical structure, originated from a determined compound. This can happens  spontaneously or by a third party.

A notable example of decomposition is hydrolysis. As for example the case of water, which decomposes and generates oxygen and hydrogen gas

2H₂O (l) → 2 H₂ (g) + O₂ (g)

In this case, the calium carbonate decomposes into CaO and CO₂

These two, are the products of the decomposition.

Of course, the unique reactant is the Calcium Carbonate

The balanced equation is:

CaCO₃(s) → CaO(s) + CO₂(g)

Draw an electrolytic cell in which Mn2+ is reduced to Mn and Sn is oxidized to Sn2+. (Assume standard conditions).
babunello [35]

Answer:

-1.05 V

Explanation:

A detailed diagram of the setup as required in the question is shown in the image attached to this answer. The electrolytes chosen are SnCl2 for the anode half cell and MnCl2 for the cathode half cell. Tin rod and manganese rod are used as the anode and cathode materials respectively. Electrons flow from anode to cathode as indicated. The battery connected to the set up drives this non spontaneous electrolytic process.

Oxidation half equation;

Sn(s) ------> Sn^2+(aq) + 2e

Reduction half equation:

Mn^2+(aq) + 2e ----> Mn(s)

Cell voltage= E°cathode - E°anode

E°cathode= -1.19V

E°anode= -0.14 V

Cell voltage= -1.19 V - (-0.14V)

Cell voltage= -1.05 V

Convert these temperatures to Celsius:<br><br> a. 303 K<br><br> d. 45 K
andre [41]

303K − 273.15 = 29.85°C

45K − 273.15 = -228.1°C
