Why are scientific theories changed but never thrown away?

There are 6.022 x 10^23 atoms of hg in 1 mole of hg. the number of atoms in 4.5 moles of hg can be found by multiplying 4.5 by 6.022 x 10^23 a. 2.7 x 10^24 b. 27 x 10^23 c. 2.71 x10^24 d. 27.099 x 10^23

Consider the four elements above. which one of these elements will combine with oxygen in a 1: 1 ratio?

To find the work done, the force exerted and distance moved are multiplied. a couch is moved twice before you are happy with its placement. the same force was used to move the couch both times. if more work is done the first time it is moved, what do you know about the distance it was moved? a) when more work was done, the couch was moved the same distance. b) when more work was done, the couch was moved less. c) when more work was done, the couch was moved further. d) when more work was done, the couch wasn't moved at all.
