Can a hypothesis be accurately tested by performing one experiment?

Pauling and lewis questioned the extreme definitions of bonds. they wondered if bonds might be described somewhere in between the two extremes (covalent and ionic). on the basis of experimental data, pauling confirmed that bonds could be ionic, covalent, and for those, in between, exhibit a degree of ionic character. he theorized that the major factor was how strongly the atoms in the bond attracted the electrons. pauling called this factor - the tendency of an atom to attract electrons in a bond.

Atank contains 240 liters of fluid in which 10 grams of salt is dissolved. brine containing 1 gram of salt per liter is then pumped into the tank at a rate of 6 l/min; the well-mixed solution is pumped out at the same rate. find the number a(t) of grams of salt in the tank at time t.

Much of the general structure and physical properties of the interior of the earth are inferred from: a)deep oil and gas bore holes b)geologic investigations c)analysis of seismic waves d) study of volcanoes
