Question

After many experiments and observations, Jacques Charles described how gases expand at the same rate as a change in temperature. This observation is represented in the formula V100 – V0 = kV0. These findings are not the basis of a scientific theory because
A. they establish a claim that can be tested and retested by the scientific community
B. they describe what happens in nature without explaining why it happens
C. they explain the relationship between gases and temperature based on observation
D. they predict what will happen in nature without tests and supporting evidence

Answer 1

I believe the answer is B.

They describe what happens in nature without explaining why it happens

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is B- they describe what happens in nature without explaining why it happens.

Explanation:

Scientific theory helps to explain any aspect of natural world that can be tested and verified any number of times using the scientific method. THe protocols behind the scientific method includes observations, measurements, and evaluating  the results.

The explanation given by Jacques Charles regarding expansion of gases at the same rate as change in temperature is not basis of scientific theory as it describes what happens in nature without explaining why it happens.
