3. Scientific methods may include three steps of study as listed below. Explain each step in detail with a complete content related sentence. (ref: p.12-16) a. Hypothesis b. Theory c. Scientific law

Hypothesis is an assumption or idea about a particular topic or argument. An hypothesis should be one which is able to be tested and measurable to determine its authenticity.

A theory is an explanation of a scientific observation which has undergone series of experiments and is reproducible in any part of the world.

A law is simply a rule which gives an in depth explanation of a scientific finding. If new findings emerge the law could be changed or modified.

as given the equation is

2al + 6 hcl > 2 alcl3 + 3 h2(g)

as per equation two moles of aluminum reacts with six moles of hcl to give two moles of alcl3 and three moles of hydrogen gas

given: three moles of al are present and 7 moles of hcl

for three moles of aluminum nine moles of hcl will be required

however as 7 moles of hcl are present so the limiting reagent is hcl

hcl is going to decide the number of moles of product formed

when six moles of hcl are present = 3 moles of h2 are formed

when one mole of hcl is present == 3/6 mole sof h2 will be formed

when 7 moles of hcl are present = 3 x 7/ 6 moles of h2 will be formed = 3.5 moles of h2
