Answer:

when enough information is given to support a hypothesis (more info below)

Explanation:

If enough evidence accumulates to support a hypothesis, it moves to the next step known as a theory in the scientific method and is accepted as a valid explanation of a phenomenon. Tanner also explained that scientific theory is the framework for observations and facts.

Answer:

I believe it is D

Explanation:

since Rutherford's explanation, when he made it in 1911, was that scattering was caused by a hard, dense court to centre of the Adam, which is the nucleus and he used Alpha particles to observe the scattered backwards from a gold foil

Sulfur dioxide, SO 2 ( g ) , can react with oxygen to produce sulfur trioxide, SO 3 ( g ) , by the reaction 2 SO 2 ( g ) + O 2 (

aleksley [76]

Answer: The amount of heat produced by the reaction is -21.36 kJ

Explanation:

Enthalpy change is defined as the difference in enthalpies of all the product and the reactants each multiplied with their respective number of moles.

The equation used to calculate enthalpy change is of a reaction is:

$\Delta H^o_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta H_f_{(product)}]-\sum [n\times \Delta H_f_{(reactant)}]$

For the given chemical reaction:

$2SO_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2SO_3(g)$

The equation for the enthalpy change of the above reaction is:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=[(2\times \Delta H_f_{(SO_3(g))})]-[(2\times \Delta H_f_{(SO_2(g))})+(1\times \Delta H_f_{(O_2(g))})]$

We are given:

$\Delta H_f_{(SO_2(g))}=-296.8kJ/mol\\\Delta H_f_{(SO_3(g))}=-395.7kJ/mol\\\Delta H_f_{(O_2(g))}=0kJ/mol$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=[(2\times (-395.7))]-[(2\times (-296.8))+(1\times (0))]\\\\\Delta H_{rxn}=-197.8kJ/mol$

To calculate the number of moles, we use ideal gas equation, which is:

$PV=nRT$

where,

P = pressure of the gas = 1.00 bar

V = Volume of the gas = 2.67 L

n = number of moles of gas = ?

R = Gas constant = $0.0831\text{ L. bar }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = temperature of the mixture = $25^oC=[25+273]K=298K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1.00bar\times 2.67L=n\times 0.0831\text{ L. bar }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 298K\\\\n=\frac{1\times 2.67}{0.0831\times 298}=0.108mol$

To calculate the heat released of the reaction, we use the equation:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=\frac{q}{n}$

where,

q = amount of heat released = ?

n = number of moles = 0.108 moles

$\Delta H_{rxn}$ = enthalpy change of the reaction = -197.8 kJ/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$-197.8kJ/mol=\frac{q}{0.108mol}\\\\q=(-197.8kJ/mol\times 0.108mol)=-21.36kJ$

Hence, the amount of heat produced by the reaction is -21.36 kJ

Which type of cell is a rose thorn? prokaryotic eukaryotic plant eukaryotic animal chloroplastic

Ede4ka [16]

Plant cells are eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells do not contain a membrane bound nucleus, mitochondria or other membrane bound cell structures (organelles), the DNA of prokaryotic cells are located in the cytoplasm of the cell. ... Plant cells are eukaryotic because they have a nuclear membrane.
so therefore, A rose thorn is a eukaryotic plant cell.
