Answer:

All of the above.

Explanation:

For a scientific hypothesis to be considered a hypothesis, it has to be testable. When conducting a lab experiment, it also allows the tester to predict what might occur during and after the experimentation. They are also explanatory. For example, theories are hypotheses that have been verified and can explain why something in nature takes place.

how will knowing the density of a substance help you determine whether an object made from that material will float in water

trapecia [35]

The density of water is about 1kg/m³, therefore is the substance has a density of less than 1kg/m³ then it will most likely float however if it is more than 1kg/m³ then it will most likely sink.

Consider the reaction 4HCl(g) + O2(g)2H2O(g) + 2Cl2(g) Using standard thermodynamic data at 298K, calculate the entropy change f

Ulleksa [173]

<u>Answer:</u> The value of $\Delta S^o$ for the surrounding when given amount of HCl gas is reacted is 73.21 J/K

<u>Explanation:</u>

Entropy change is defined as the difference in entropy of all the product and the reactants each multiplied with their respective number of moles.

The equation used to calculate entropy change is of a reaction is:

$\Delta S^o_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta S^o_{(product)}]-\sum [n\times \Delta S^o_{(reactant)}]$

For the given chemical reaction:

$4HCl(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2O(g)+2Cl_2(g)$

The equation for the entropy change of the above reaction is:

$\Delta S^o_{rxn}=[(2\times \Delta S^o_{(Cl_2(g))})+(2\times \Delta S^o_{(H_2O(g))})]-[(4\times \Delta S^o_{(HCl(g))})+(1\times \Delta S^o_{(O_2(g))})]$

We are given:

$\Delta S^o_{(O_2(g))}=205.14J/K.mol\\\Delta So_{(HCl(g))}=186.91J/K.mol\\\Delta S^o_{(Cl_2(g))}=223.07J/K.mol\\\Delta S^o_{(H_2O(g))}=188.82J/K.mol$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta S^o_{rxn}=[(2\times (223.07))+(2\times (188.82))]-[(4\times (186.91))+(1\times (205.14))]\\\\\Delta S^o_{rxn}=-129J/K$

Entropy change of the surrounding = - (Entropy change of the system) = -(-129) J/K = 129 J/K

We are given:

Moles of HCl gas reacted = 2.27 moles

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

When 4 mole of HCl gas is reacted, the entropy change of the surrounding will be 129 J/K

So, when 2.27 moles of HCl gas is reacted, the entropy change of the surrounding will be = $\frac{129}{4}\times 2.27=73.21J/K$

Hence, the value of $\Delta S^o$ for the surrounding when given amount of HCl gas is reacted is 73.21 J/K

Nacl , or halite, dissolves in water. which type of bond is most abundant which allows it to dissolve?

Hitman42 [59]

Intermolecular bonding:
Water is a polar molecule exhibit dispersion forces and hydrogen bonding
Salt is a polar molecule exhibit dispersion forces and dipole dipole bonding

Same bonding capacity therefore similar bonding capacity, therefore salt able to dissolves in water
