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.
Celsius scale is related to kelvin scale by the following equation,
⁰C = K-273
°C = K-273
So as here temperature is given in kelvin, so it can be converted into celsius as follows:
So 20 K = 20K-273 °C
= -253 °C .
So, the 20 K temperature equals to -253 °C.
So , -253 °C is equals to 20 K or 20 K temperature equals to -253 °C.
The balanced equation for the above reaction is as follows;
2HCl + K₂SO₃ ---> 2KCl + H₂O + SO₂
stoichiometry of HCl to SO₂ is 2:1
number of moles of HCl reacted - 15.0 g / 36.5 g/mol = 0.411 mol
according to molar ratio
number of SO₂ moles formed - 0.411 mol /2 = 0.206 mol
since we know the number of moles we can find volume using ideal gas law equation
PV = nRT
where
P - pressure - 1.35 atm x 101 325 Pa/atm = 136 789 Pa
V - volume
n - number of moles - 0.206 mol
R - universal gas constant - 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹
T - temperature - 325 K
substituting values in the equation
136 789 Pa x V = 0.206 mol x 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹ x 325 K
V = 4.07 L
volume of SO₂ formed is 4.07 L
An element or compound which occurs naturally in the earth is a mineral. Minerals are substances formed naturally in the Earth.They have a definite chemical composition and structure. For example, the minerals gold or diamonds you’d find by mining or panning for gold since they are found naturally in the Earth.
