Best Answer
C) is the best description, although a scientific theory is not necessarily a "fact". They are, however, based on evidence.
A) is complete garbage.
B) is a good description of a scientific "law"- something that predicts how a certain event will occur without explaining why this is (for instance, the law of gravity accurately describes the gravitational forces between two bodies, but does not explain why these forces are there).
D) is a scientific "hypothesis"- an explanation for an observed phenomena that is yet to be proven.
We can calculate for temperature by assuming the equation
for ideal gas law:
P V = n R T
Where,
P = pressure = 1.80 atm
V = volume = 18.2 L
n = number of moles = 1.20 moles
R = gas constant = 0.08205746 L atm / mol K
Substituting to the given equation:
T = P V / n R
T = (1.8 atm * 18.2 L) / (1.2 moles * 0.08205746 L atm /
mol K)
T = 332.70 K
We can convert K unit to ˚C unit by subtracting 273.15
to Kelvin, therefore
T = 59.55 ˚<span>C</span>
