Answer:

Some errors includes:

- Having contradictory information

- Exaggerated and false cliams

- Reliance on bias rather than facts

- etc

Explanation:

Pseudoscience is a non-science that falsely portrays itself as real science. It does so by copying parts of real science or ignoring sections of the scientific method within an investigation. Even a tiny mistake can turn a scientific explanation into a pseudoscientific claim.

For example, if a group of scientists want to know if students prefer the taste of a particular type of soda, they must control all factors in their experiment except for the students' sense of taste. If they conduct their tests on students and allow them to see the color of the soda they are testing, then their results are unreliable. There is bias in their results. They would not be able to claim any preference for one soda or another because students may have picked a soda based on its color, not its taste.

Alveoli are tiny sacs of air in the lungs. Their average diameter is 4.50 × 10−5 m. Calculate the uncertainty in the velocity of

Arisa [49]

Answer: The uncertainty in the velocity of oxygen molecule is $4.424\times 10^{-5}m/s$

Explanation:

The diameter of the molecule will be equal to the uncertainty in position.

The equation representing Heisenberg's uncertainty principle follows:

$\Delta x.\Delta p=\frac{h}{2\pi}$

where,

$\Delta x$ = uncertainty in position = d = $4.50\times 10^{-5}m$

$\Delta p$ = uncertainty in momentum = $m\Delta v$

m = mass of oxygen molecule = $5.30\times 10^{-26}kg$

h = Planck's constant = $6.627\times 10^{-34}kgm^2/s^2$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$4.50\times 10^{-5}m\times 5.30\times 10^{-26}kg\times \Delta v=\frac{6.627\times 10^{-34}kgm^2/s}{2\times 3.14}\\\\\Delta v=\frac{6.627\times 10^{-34}kgm^2/s^2}{2\times 3.14\times 4.50\times 10^{-5}m\times 5.30\times 10^{-26}kg}=4.424\times 10^{-5}m/s$

Hence, the uncertainty in the velocity of oxygen molecule is $4.424\times 10^{-5}m/s$

1. Which of the following nuclear equations is correctly balanced? (choices attached)

lawyer [7]

1. Balancing nuclear equations

Answer:

$_{18}^{37}\text{Ar} + _{-1}^{0}\text{e} \rightarrow _{17}^{37}\text{Cl}$

Explanation:

The main point to remember in balancing nuclear equations is that the sums of the superscripts (the mass numbers) and the subscripts (the nuclear charges) must balance.

Mass numbers: 37 + 0 = 37; balanced.

Charges: 18 + 1 = 17; balanced

B is wrong. Mass numbers not balanced. 6 +2(1) ≠ 4 + 3.

C is wrong. Mass numbers not balanced. 254 + 4 ≠ 258 + 2(1).

D is wrong. Mass numbers not balanced. 14 + 4 ≠ 17 + 2.

===============

2. Amount remaining

Answer:

D. 5.25 g

Explanation:

The half-life of Th-234 (24 da) is the time it takes for half the Th to decay.

After one half-life, half (50 %) of the original amount will remain.

After a second half-life, half of that amount (25 %) will remain, and so on.

We can construct a table as follows:

No. of Fraction Amount

half-lives t/(da) remaining remaining/g

1 24 ½ 21.0

2 48 ¼ 10.5

3 72 ⅛ 5.25

4 96 ¹/₁₆ 2.62

We see that 72 da is three half-lives, and the amount of Th-234 remaining is 5.25 g.

===============

3. Calculating the half-life

Answer:

a. 2.6 min

Explanation:

The fraction of the original mass remaining is 1.0 g/4.0 g ≈ ¼.

We saw from the previous table that it takes two half-lives to decay to ¼ of the original amount.

2 half-lives = 5.2 min Divide both sides by 2

1 half-life = 5.2 min/2 = 2.6 min
