Answer:

Any law or theory needs to do two things to give them credibility: explain and predict.

Most laws and theories attempt to explain, some better than others. Many theories do not have predictive power, although we would expect all laws should have strong predictive powers. The stronger the predictive power of a theory the better the theory will be.

Answer:

this is what i got

Explanation:

α-decay: When a radioactive nucleus disintegrates by emitting an αα-particle, the atomic number decreases by two and mass number decreases by four. Example: 88Ra226→86Rn222+2He4.

A saturated solution is made by dissolving 0.327 g of a polypeptide (a substance formed by joining together in a chainlike fashi

faust18 [17]

Answer: The approximate molecular mass of the polypeptide is 856 g/mol

Explanation:

To calculate the concentration of solute, we use the equation for osmotic pressure, which is:

$\pi=iMRT$

Or,

$\pi=i\times \frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution in L)}}\times RT$

where,

$\pi$ = osmotic pressure of the solution = 4.19 torr

i = Van't hoff factor = 1 (for non-electrolytes)

Mass of solute (polypeptide) = 0.327 g

Volume of solution = 1.70 L

R = Gas constant = $62.364\text{ L.torr }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = temperature of the solution = $26^oC=[273+26]K=299K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$4.19torr=1\times \frac{0.327}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times 1.70}\times 62.364\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 299K\\\\\text{molar mass of solute}=856g/mol$

Hence, the molar mass of the polypeptide is 856 g/mol
