Answer:

Hey

In science, we have facts, theories, and hypotheses. They all mean something different.

A hypothesis is a complete guess to a problem, and it can't be said that it is correct unless more evidence is found. A good example for this would be the question to "how did the universe get here?" Of course, there are many different hypotheses to this, such as the multiverse theory and also god.

A theory is different than a hypothesis. Many people think that a theory is always wrong and is just a guess (sounds similar to a hypothesis doesn't it.) Well, that's wrong. A theory is an idea about a scientific phenomenon that has sufficient evidence and is said to be the most likely possibility. A good example would be Einstiene's theory of relitavity. Today we know that it is true. The difference between a theory and fact is that a theory could be wrong, That is if there are other theories with as much or more evidence.

There isin't much to say about facts. all I can say is that it is a true statement about a scientific phenomena.

I wrote all that^.

Which type of bond exemplifies a weak chemical bond? covalent bonds in solution hydrogen bonds in solution ionic bonds in solids
vova2212 [387]

Covalent bonds in solution, hydrogen bonds in solution, ionic bonds in solids, nonpolar covalent bonds in solids- the weakest bond is hydrogen bond.

What is a chemical bond?

A chemical bond is a strong bond that can be formed between atoms, ions, or molecules to create chemical compounds. In covalent bonds, the electrons are shared, whereas in ionic bonds, the electrostatic attraction of two ions with opposing charges forms the link. Strong bonds, also known as primary bonds, include covalent, ionic, and metallic ties. Weak bonds, also known as secondary bonds, include dipole-dipole interactions, the London dispersion force, and hydrogen bonds.

Since there is no necessity for an electron exchange during formation, the hydrogen bond is weak. As a result, it is simpler to break apart a hydrogen connection between two molecules.

What is the principal reason we must consider the uncertainty principle when discussing electrons and other subatomic particles
Pie
Here is the correct answer of the given question above. The principal reason that we must consider the uncertainty principle when discussing electrons and other subatomic particles, but not when discussing our macroscopic world is that photons of only certain allowed frequencies can be absorbed or emitted as the electron changes energy state. Hope this answer helps.

How much heat is absorbed in the complete reaction of 3.00 grams of SiO2 with excess carbon in the reaction SiO2(g) + 3C(s) → Si
defon

Answer:

31.24 kJ

Explanation:

  • SiO₂(g) + 3C(s) → SiC(s) + 2CO(g)        ΔH° = 624.7 kJ/mol

First we <u>convert 3.00 grams of SiO₂ to moles</u>, using its <em>molar mass</em>:

  • 3.00 g SiO₂ ÷ 60.08 g/mol = 0.05 mol

Now we <u>calculate the heat absorbed</u>, using the <em>given ΔH°</em>:

If the complete reaction of 1 mol of SiO₂ absorbs 624.7 kJ, then with 0.05 mol:

  • 0.05 mol * 624.7 kJ/mol = 31.24 kJ of heat would be absorbed.
