Is the atomic theory known, for certain, to be true?

No; a theory, as all scientific principles, is never certain. It is permanently subject to testing and experimental verification. Even if a theory is found to agree with all of the available observational data, and all of its predictions have been found to be ``correct'', i.e. borne out by all observations until today, it may yet be disproved by tomorrow's more precise observations. It is, in fact, the attempt to disprove the existing theories which is the purpose of most scientific experimentation.

Carbon atoms are about 25% lighter than oxygen atoms (the ratio of their weights is 3 to 4). What is the weight ratio of the carbon and oxygen that go into the formation of carbon monoxide? Answer the same question for carbon dioxide.

Carbon monxyde has the chemical composition CO, i.e. there is one carbon atom for every oxygen atom; therefore the weight ratio of carbon to oxygen in this compound is just the weight ratio of the atoms, i.e. 3 to 4. In carbon dioxide, tex2html_wrap_inline121 , there are two oxyen atoms per carbon atom, so the carbon to oxygen weight ratio in carbon dioxide is 3 to 8.

Which of these is a pure compound, which is an element, and which is neither: (a) pure water, (b) oxygen gas, (c) liquid mercury, (d) tex2html_wrap_inline123 , (e) U, (f) air,

(g) He, (h) carbon dioxide, (i) tex2html_wrap_inline125 , (j) polluted water?

Explanation:

hope it help ;)

the tides are influenced by both the moon and the sun, it's easy to see that when the sun lines up with the moon and the earth, as during a new moon or full moon, the tidal effect is increased. these are known as spring tides, named not for the season, but for the fact that the water "springs" higher than normal. on the other hand, if the sun and the moon are 90 degrees apart in relation to an observer on earth as during the first quarter moon or third quarter moon, then high tides are not as high as they normally would be. this is because despite its greater distance, the sun's mass allows it to exert enough gravitational force on the oceans that it can negate some of the effects of the moon's pull. this phenomenon of lower high tides is called a neap tide. if you need more information on this topic visit moonconnection.com.

the answer is option a.
