An Irish natural philosopher, Robert Boyle, conducted experiments to verify properties of gases discovered by other scientists.

Boyle's law mathematically describes the inversely proportional relationship between the absolute pressure and volume of a gas. This means that if the volume of a container of gas is decreased, the amount of pressure in that container will increase proportionally. This relationship is a (2 points)
Select one:
a. theory because it is a description based on mathematics.
b. theory because it describes a relationship without trying to explain it.
c. law because it describes how one variable affects another.
d. law because it is a description but not an explanation.

Answer:

c. Law, because it describes how one variable affects another  

Explanation:

A law enables you to predict what might happen if you do something. For example, you can use Boyle's Law to predict the volume of a gas if you double its pressure.

a and b are wrong, because a theory tries to explain why something happens.

d is wrong, because a law does not have to give an explanation.

Which is a problem associated with the use of trees for biomass? I. Potential deforestation II. Burning fossil carbon III. Poten
BigorU [14]

Answer:

Both Option (I) and Option (III)

Explanation:

Biomass is usually defined as those organic molecules that are obtained from plants and animals, in order to produce energy. It is a renewable resource. Some of the examples of biomass include wood, crop, animal fossil fuel.

A large number of trees are being cut down to construct these biomass energies such as woods. This results in the deforestation process where the forested areas are converted into empty dry soils. This results in the increasing rate of erosion because the prevailing wind and flowing water can easily carry away the topsoil and loses the fertility of the soil.

Thus, the correct answers are both options (I) and (III).

State with reasons, whether sulphur dioxide is acting as an oxidizing agent or a reducing agent in each of the following reactio
evablogger [386]

Answer:

A) oxidizing agent is SO2

B) NaClO is the oxidizing agent

Explanation:

A) This is a redox reaction in which oxidation and reduction occur simultaneously.

Thus, in 2H2S(g) + SO2(g) -> 2H2O(l) + 3S(s);

H2S is reduced as follows;

H2S → S + 2H+ + 2e−

We can see that SO2 has been reduced while H2S gets oxidized since it has changed state from - 2 to 0 . Thus sulphur dioxide is the oxidizing agent.

B) SO2(g) + H2O(l) + NaClO(aq) -> NaCl(aq) + H2SO4(aq)

In this, SO2 undergoes oxidation and NaClO is the oxidizing agent
