How does a scientist form a hypothesis?

1 answer:

8 0

Explanation: The hypothesis is a prediction, but it involves more than a guess. Most of the time, the hypothesis begins with a question which is then explored through background research. It is only at this point that researchers begin to develop a testable hypothesis.

(Unless you are creating an exploratory study, your hypothesis should always explain what you expect to happen)

onsider the reaction, NO2(g) + CO(g) → NO(g) + CO2(g), for which the rate law has been determined to be: Rate = k[NO2]2[CO]. Whi

nlexa [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

Rate of the reaction is a change in the concentration of any one of the reactant or product per unit time.

$NO_2(g) + CO(g)\rightarrow NO(g) + CO_2(g)$

Rate of the reaction:

$R=-\frac{1}{1}\times \frac{d[NO_2]}{dt}=-\frac{1}{1}\times \frac{d[CO]}{dt}$

Rate of decrease in nitrogen dioxide concentration is equal to the rate of decrease in carbon monoxide.

Given rate expression of the reaction:

$R = k[NO2]^2[CO]$

Rate of the reaction on doubling concentration of nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide : R'

$R'=k(2\times [NO_2])^2(2\times [CO])=8\times k[NO2]^2[CO]=8R$

Doubling the concentrations of nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide simultaneously will increase the rate of the reaction by a factor of eight.

Hence, none of the given statements are true.

A bag of potato chips contains 585 mL of air at 20.0 C and a pressure of 765 mmHg. Assuming the bag does not break, what will be

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

volume = 972.23ml

Explanation:

using general gas law

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

765 x 585/293 = 443 x V2/282

1527.39 =443 x V2/282

1527.38 x 282 = 443 x V2

430695.78 = 443 x V2

V2 = 430695.68/443

V2 = 972.23mL

Extend the aufbau sequence through an element that has not yet been identified, but whose atoms would completely fill 7p orbital

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

Number of electrons = 118

Electronic configuration: [Rn] 5f¹⁴ 6d¹⁰ 7s² 7p⁶

Explanation:

Given: A chemical element that has completely filled 7p orbital.

According to this, the principal occupied electron shell or the valence shell of such an element is 7p.

⇒ the principal quantum number (n) for the valence shell is 7.

∴ this element belongs to the period 7 of the periodic table.

Also, an element that has completely filled p-orbital belongs to the group 18 of the p-block.

Therefore, an element that belongs to the group 7 and period 18 of the periodic table, should have a completely filled 5f, 6d, 7s and 7p orbitals.

Therefore, the electronic configuration should be: [Rn] 5f¹⁴ 6d¹⁰ 7s² 7p⁶

And, the number of electrons = atomic number of radon (Rn) + 14 + 10 + 2 + 6 = 86 + 32 = 118.

Therefore, the given element has atomic number 118 and has the electronic configuration: [Rn] 5f¹⁴ 6d¹⁰ 7s² 7p⁶. Thus the given element can be Oganesson.
