MAXImum [283]2 years ago

Answer:

4.15g

Explanation:

Balance the reaction:

2Mg + O2 = 2MgO

Find limiting reactant from the two, by dividing miles with coefficient

2.5/24.3 = 0.103 moles/2 = 0.0515

5/16 = 0.31 moles/2 = 0.156

0.0515 is small than 0.156, so limiting reactant is Mg

Compare the ratio of Mg with MgO

Ratio is 2:2

So same moles = 0.103 moles

Mass = moles x molar mass of MgO

Mass = 0.103 x 40.3

= 4.15g

Is Newton's statement a law or a theory? It is a theory because it developed and changed over time as new technology provided ne
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

It is a law because it is a statement of fact that does not need any more experimental support.

Explanation:

A hypothesis is an acceptable assumption that is formulated through the collection of information and data and that attempts to explain some phenomenon. In other words, a hypothesis is a conjecture with which one tries to explain an observed fact. The formulation of a hypothesis can be derived in two different ways: by generalization, from a certain number of cases or observed phenomena; and, by analogies observed in the occurrence of different phenomena.

A theory is something that attempts to explain some phenomenon and that is accepted as true by the scientific community. In other words, a theory is a set of rules that describe the behavior of a particular system.

A law is a statement that expresses the constant relationships between phenomena of nature, society or the mind. Scientific law can be defined as an invariable relationship of terms. In other words, a law is what is scientifically proven to be true, it is universally applicable.

So scientific theories and scientific laws are based on hypotheses. But a theory is the explanation of an observed phenomenon, while a scientific law is the description of an observed phenomenon.

The movements of bodies in space are governed by Newton's Laws. These are laws why they are demonstrated by mathematical formulas and Universal application.

Then, the correct option is <u><em>"It is a law because it is a statement of fact that does not need any more experimental support."</em></u>
