3 0

Answer:

This question lacks options, the options are:

A. Moral and ethical beliefs

B. Popular support

C. Compelling evidence

D. Historical support

The answer is C. Compelling evidence

Explanation:

Scientific investigations are used to proffer solutions to problems or answer a question. However, before these scientific ideas can be accepted or rejected, it must be subject to falsifiable testing via experiment.

A hypothetical statement is given to explain a scientific observation, which is subjected to further testing via experimentation. The outcome of the experiment provides a COMPELLING EVIDENCE on which the acceptance or rejection of a scientific idea is based.

Flura [38]

Answer:

Combining the two clear colorless liquids is a chemical change.

Explanation:

Because a different solid substance is formed. Tell students that a precipitate is an insoluble solid that forms when two solutions are combined and react chemically. Insoluble means that the solid will not dissolve.

8.43g of CaCl2·2H2O is dissolved in 40.0g of H2O. What is the molality of the solution? (Note that the H2O in the CaCl2·2H2O mus
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

[CaCl₂·2H₂O] = 1.43 m

Explanation:

Molality is mol of solute / kg of solvent.

Mass of solvent = 40 g

Let's convert g to kg → 40 g / 1000 = 0.04 kg

Let's determine the moles of solute (mass / molar mass)

8.43 g / 146.98 g/mol = 0.057 mol

Molality = 0.057 mol / 0.04 kg → 1.43

If 20.0 ml of glacial acetic acid (pure hc2h3o2) is diluted to 1.40 l with water, what is the ph of the resulting solution? the
Y_Kistochka [10]

By using the formula, mass = density x volume, we calculate mass in grams

 20.0 mL CH₃COOH x (1.05 g / mL) = 21.0 g CH₃COOH 

To find the moles, molar mass of CH₃COOH = 60.05g/mol<span>

21.0 g </span>CH₃COOH x (1 mole CH₃COOH / 60.05 g CH₃COOH) = 0.350 moles CH₃COOH 

To find molarity,<span>

[</span>CH₃COOH] = moles CH₃COOH / L of solution = 0.350 / 1.40 = 0.250 M CH₃COOH<span> 

When </span>CH₃COOH is dissolved in water, it produces small and equal amounts of H₃O⁺+ and C₂H₃O₂⁻. 

<span>
Molarity ,         </span>CH₃COOH<span> + H</span>₂O <==> H₃O⁺ + C₂H₃O₂⁻ 

<span> <span>Initial                      0.250                          0           0 </span>
Change                      -x                            x            x 
Equilibrium            0.250-x                        x            x 

K</span>ₐ = [H₃O⁺][C₂H₃O₂⁻] / [HC₂H₃O₂] = (x)(x) / (0.250-x) = 1.8 x 10⁻⁵

<span>Since K</span>ₐ is relatively small, we can neglect the -x term after 0.250 to simplify 

<span>x</span>² / 0.250 = 1.8 x 10⁻⁵ 

x² = 4.5 x 10⁻⁶ 

<span> x = 2.1 x 10</span>⁻³<span> = [H</span>₃O⁺] 

pH = -log [H₃O⁺] = -log (2.1 x 10⁻³) = 2.68
