Forming a hypothesis is accomplished through _______ reasoning.

2 answers:

4 0

Deductive reasoning involves making broad observations and examining possibilities to reach a specific, logical conclusion, which is required in the formation of a hypothesis. Conversely, inductive reasoning involves taking specific observations and making broad generalisations from these. Therefore the answer is A.

Hope this helps!

Convert 1.72 moles of magnesium carbonate to formula units

snow_tiger [21]

One mole any substance contains 6.022 ₓ 10²³ particles called Avogadro's Number.

The relation between moles and number of particles is given as,

# of particles = moles ₓ Avogadro's number

In our case the particles are formula units of MgCO₃. So, 1 mole of MgCO₃ contain 6.022 ₓ 10²³ formula units, then the number of formula units in 1.72 moles are calculated as,

# of formula units = 1.72 mol ₓ 6.022 ₓ 10²³ formula units / mol

# of formula units = 1.035 ₓ 10²⁴ Formula Units

5.00 g of hydrogen gas and 50.0g of oxygen gas are introduced into an otherwise empty 9.00L steel cylinder, and the hydrogen is

GenaCL600 [577]

1) Balanced chemical reaction:

2H2 + O2 -> 2H20

Sotoichiometry: 2 moles H2: 1 mol O2 : 2 moles H2O

2) Reactant quantities converted to moles

H2: 5.00 g / 2 g/mol = 2.5 mol

O2: 50.0 g / 32 g/mol = 1.5625 mol

Limitant reactant: H2 (because as per the stoichiometry it will be consumed with 1.25 mol of O2).

3) Products

H2 totally consumed -> 0 mol at the end

O2 = 1.25 mol consumed -> 1.5625 mol - 1.25 mol = 0.3125 mol at the end

H2O: 2.5 mol H2 produces 2.5 mol H2O -> 2.5 mol at the end.

Total number of moles: 0.3125mol + 2.5 mol = 2.8125 mol

4) Pressure

Use pV = nRT
n = 2.8125
V= 9 liters
R = 0.082 atm*lit/K*mol
T = 35 C + 273.15 = 308.15K

p = nRT/V = 7.9 atm

Select the correct set of quantum numbers (n, l, ml, ms) for the first electron removed in the formation of a cation for stronti

matrenka [14]

Answer:

5,0,0,-1/2

Explanation:

The quantum numbers are a way to characterize the electrons, and so, identify the region that it's more probable to find it (orbital). They are:

- Principal quantum number (n): represents the shell or level, and varies from 1 to 7, and are represented by the letter K, L, M, N, O, P, and Q.

- Azimuthal quantum number (l): represents the subshell or sublevel, and is represented by 0,1,2,3.., and for the letters s, p, d, f,...

- Magnetic quantum number (ml): represents the orbital. It varies from -l to +l passing by 0. Each orbital can have 2 electrons.

- Spin quantum number (ms): represents the spin of the electron. It can be +1/2 or -1/2.

The strontium has an atomic number equal to 38, by the Linus Pauling's diagram, the electronic distribution is:

1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s²3d¹⁰4p⁶5s²

The valence electron is at the subshell 5s, which has only one magnetic quantum number: 0. Because it has 2 electrons, the first one has spin =1/2, and the other -1/2. So the first electron of the formation of cation has quantum numbers:

n = 5; l = 0; ml = 0; ms = -1/2

Anyway, which is a spectator ion involved in the reaction of k2cro4(aq) and ba(no3)2(aq)?

marissa [1.9K]

Nitrate ions $\text{NO}_3^{-}$ and potassium ions $\text{K}^{+}$ .

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Potassium dichromate undergoes a double-decomposition reaction with barium nitrate to produce barium dichromate and potassium nitrate. The reaction is possible due to the low solubility of barium dichromate that precipitate out of the solution readily after its production.

Start with the balanced chemical equation for this process:

$\text{K}_2\text{CrO}_4 \; (aq) + \text{Ba}(\text{NO}_3)_2 \; (aq) \to \text{Ba}(\text{CrO}_4)_2 \; (s) + 2 \; \text{KNO}_3 \; (aq)$

Rewrite the chemical equation as an ionic one; express all soluble salts- those with state symbol (aq)- as their constituting ions while leaving the insoluble (s) intact.

$2 \; \text{K}^{+}\; (aq)+ 2\; \text{CrO}_4^{-} \; (aq) + \text{Ba}^{2+} \; (aq) + 2 \; \text{NO}_3^{-} \; (aq) \\ \to \text{Ba}(\text{CrO}_4)_2 \; (s) + 2 \; \text{K}^{+} \; (aq) + 2 \; \text{NO}_3^{-} \; (aq)$

$\text{K}^{+}$ and $\text{CrO}_4^{-}$ are found on both sides of the equation by the same quantity. The two ions thus took no part in the net reaction and act as spectator ions.
