Answer:

A tentative explanations that need further evaluation

Explanation:

In scientific experiment, hypothesis and theories are used. Both are important but significantly different from one another. Scientific hypothesis is a tentative explanation to a problem that needs further evaluation by testing via experimentation. This means that a hypothesis must be testable and subject to proper investigation.

On the other hand, theories are tested explanation. That is, theories are not subject to testing because they are well backed up by data.

a water heater contains 58 Gal of water. How many kilowatt-hours of energy are necessary to heat the water in the water heater b
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

6.45 KWh

Explanation:

Data given:

amount of water = 58 gallon

Convert gallons to L

1 gallon = 3.78541 L

58 gallon = 58 x 3.78541 = 220 L

change in temperature = 25 °C

kilowatt-hours of energy = ?

Solution:

First we have to change volume of water into mass

following formula will use

            m = d x v . . . . . . (1)

as we know

density of water = 1000 g/L

Put values in equation 1

            m = 1000 g/L x 220 L

            m = 220000

To calculate heat we use following formula

            Q = m.c.ΔT . . . . . . . . . . (2)

Where

m= mass

c = specific heat of water

  • specific heat of water = 4.186 J/g °C

ΔT = change in temperature

Put values in equation 1

              Q = 220,000 g x 4.186 J/g °C x 25 °C

              Q = 23023000 J

As we need this value in kilowatt-hours of energy so we convert J to KWh

1 J = 2.8 x 10⁻⁷ KWh

23023000 J = X KWh

Do cross multiplication

          KWh = 23023000 J x 2.8 x 10⁻⁷ KWh / 1 J

           KWh = 6.45 KWh

6.45 KWh (kilowatt-hours) of energy are needed to heat the water in the water heater.

3. What is the gram-formula mass of (NH4)3PO4?
nasty-shy [4]
The gram-formula mass means that the mass of one mole molecule. Then you just need to calculate the elements together. So the gram-formula mass of (NH4)3PO4 is equals to (14+4)*3+31+16*4= 149g/mol. So the answer is (c)

Which of the following is not true of acids?
NeTakaya

Answer is: 2. dillute acids feel slipper.

1) Acids are corrosive is correct. For example hydrochloric acid (HCl) will react with most metals.

2) Dillute acids feel slippery is not correct. Bases, for example solution of sodium hydroxide feels slipery.

3) Acids have a distinctly sour taste is correct. For example, vinegar is mixture of acetic acid (CH₃COOH) and water (H₂O). Vinegar is colourless liquid with sour taste and pungent smell, freezing point of the vinegar is lower than glacial acetic acid.

4) Acids have more hydronium ions than hydroxide ions is correct. Because acid gives a lot of hydrogen cations (H⁺), pH (pH = -log[H⁺]) is lower than seven (acidic solution).
