Hypotheisis is just like an initial building block for a building. The true statements about hypothesis among the given are-
- First guess- hypothesis is a proposed explanation for something which is observed. Thus the explanation is just a guess and not a proved one.
- An initial idea which is assumed to be true - The whole experiment or research is based on an assumption which is supposed to be true and the scientist works to prove that true.
Magnesium would be more reactive.
Answer:
The structures shown by dots and lines to give the exact number of electrons in the outer most shell is explained by Lewis Structures.
Explanation:
Lewis structures are those structures in which the diagram is shown using the electron representation. They are easy to understand as the diagram completely depicts where the electrons are shared and where they are transferred. The diagram also explains where there is a single bond and where there is a di covalent bond or tri covalent bond explaining where the single , double or triple electron pair is shared. The electrons are shown by dots or lines.
For example CCl₄ can be shown as follows
..
.. Cl..
.. ..
..Cl..----------C----------..Cl..
..
.. Cl..
The picture shows that each chlorine has six electrons in its outer shell and then a pair of electron is shared with carbon forming a single covalent bond.
Similarly methane CH4 can also be shown.
The hydrogen has one electron and it shares an electron from carbon stabilising itself forming methane.
Answer: 404.04 kJ.
Explanation:
To calculate the moles, we use the equation:
moles of

According to stoichiometry :
2 moles of
on burning produces = 1036 kJ
Thus 0.78 moles of
on burning produces =
Thus the enthalpy change when burning 26.7 g of hydrogen sulfide is 404.04 kJ.
