The primary difference between a hypothesis and a theory is that a hypothesis is falsifiable but a theory has been proven to be correct. An hypothesis is a proposed explanation put forward on the basis of limited evidence as a commencement point for further investigation, at the end of the investigation the theory may not be accepted if it failed to meet some criteria. A theory is a proven system of ideas used to explain a particular phenomenon.

A theory is supported by more data and observations than a hypothesis is.

Answer:

The correct answer is:

'A hypothesis is falsifiable, but a theory has been proven to be correct'.

Explanation:

<u>Hypothesis:</u>

A hypothesis is a intelligent guess or prediction to interpret or explain any phenomena.

It is tested through the series of experiments and by number of studies to actually decide whether hypothesis is in agreement with observation and results predicted by it. These prediction are made on basis of limited evidences. It can be false or true.

<u>Theory:</u>

A theory is an in depth explanation behind any physical phenomena which has been tested multiple times through the correct scientific methods and experimentation. It will give same results and observations.

Explain your thoughts on whether or not using solely IR is a good method to make positive IDs of chemicals.
Fed [463]

Answer:

No, IR should not soely be used to identify molecules

Explanation:

IR is a method that identifies the functional groups in a molecule by deducing the frequency of stretching and vibration of bonds. Each peculiar type of bond has a frequency for the vibration of each bond represented on the IR spectrum.

However, one method is never enough to identify a compound. A combination of methods must always be used to clear up ambiguities arising from overlapping IR frequencies. Also,  interpretation of the nuanced peaks of the fingerprint region in IR spectra is quite challenging and only gives a fair idea of the functional groups present in the compound.

Therefore other methods such as NMR, UV-VISIBLE etc should also be involved in the identification of compounds.

How are physical and<br>chemical changes different?​
astra-53 [7]
Physical changes happen when you do/mix something that can be reversed. Best example is ripping a paper, you can just tape it back together so it is just an observable thing that changes, which is a physical change. Chemical changes happen when you mix things and they make a new substance and can’t be reversed. The best example of this is the Statue of Liberty, which changed in color due to the chemical change between the oxygen and copper, which created a new substance (rust) which made it green instead of copper.
Sorry for the long answer but hope this helps!

Equal volumes of 0.1m naoh and 0.1m hcl are thoroughly mixed. the resulting solution has a ph closest to
son4ous [18]
Lets assume x volume of NaOH and x volume of HCl are added together.
NaOH ---> Na⁺ + OH⁻
NaOH is a strong base therefore it completely ionizes and releases OH⁻ ions into the medium
HCl ---> H⁺ + Cl⁻
HCl is a strong base and completely ionizes and releases H⁺ ions in to the medium. number of NaOH moles in 1 L - 0.1 mol
Therefore in x L - 0.1 /1 * x = 0.1x moles of NaOH present 
Similarly in HCl x L contains - 0.1x moles of HCl
H⁺ + OH⁻ ---> H₂O
Due to complete ionisation, 0.1x moles of H⁺ ions and 0.1x moles of OH⁻ ions react to form 0.1x moles of H₂O. Therefore all H⁺ and OH⁻are completely used up and yield water molecules.
Then at this point the H⁺ and OH⁻ ions in the medium come from the weak dissociation of water. This is equivalent to 1 x 10⁻⁷M
pH = -log [H⁺]
pH = -log [10⁻⁷]
pH = 7
pH is therefore equals to 7 which means the solution is neutral

Which aqueous solution has the lowest freezing point c6h12o6, c2h5oh, ch3cooh, or nacl?
Eddi Din [679]
Depression of a freezing point of the solutions depends on the number of particles of the solute in the solution.
1 mol of C6H12O6 after dissolving in water still be 1 mol, because C6H12O6 does no dissociate in water.
1 mol of C2H5OH after dissolving in water still be 1 mol, because C2H5OH does no dissociate in water.
1 mol of NaCl after dissolving in water gives 2 mol of particles (ions), because NaCl is a strong electrolyte(as salt) and completely dissociates in water.
NaCl ----->Na⁺ + Cl⁻
1 mol of CH3COOH after dissolving in water gives more than 1 mol but less than 2 moles, because CH3COOH is a weak electrolyte (weak acid) and dissociates  only partially. 

So, most particles of the solute is going to be in the solution of NaCl, 
so<span> the lowest freezing point has the aqueous solution of NaCl.</span>
