Answer:

c) The Ksp remains the same.

Explanation:

The solubility product constant, Ksp is essentially an equilibrium constant which represents the extent to which a solute dissolves in a solvent.

In the given situation, the PbCl2 equilibrium can be represented as:

PbCl_{2}(s)\rightleftharpoons Pb^{2+}(aq)+2Cl^{-}(aq)

Ksp = [Pb^{2+}][Cl^{-}]^{2}

Addition of NaCl will introduce a common ion i.e. Cl-. This would increase its concentration and solubility. This will change the reaction quotient. However, the value of Ksp which is the 'equilibrium constant' will reamin unaffected since it is a constant at a given temperature.

For the question above, the answer would be C. The Ksp remains the same. The common ion effect will change the concentrations of the ions in thesolution, but the value of Ksp is CONSTANT at a constant temperature thus Ksp does not change.

A pharmaceutical company claimed that experiments showed that its drug could effectively reduce the growth of cancer cells by 35
BaLLatris [955]

Answer :  The labs were unable to reproduce the pharmaceutical company’s data.

Explanation : Any scientific claim must have reproducible experimental data. In this case, when the pharmaceutical company has the claim of reducing the cancer growth cells by 35% then by using the same manufacturing procedure for the drug and lab should be able to get this result. But they failed to match up with the results which clearly indicates that the labs were not able to produce the same results and hence they concluded that the pharmaceutical company's claims were invalid.

"Conservation of energy" refers to the fact that _____.
Agata [3.3K]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, it is known that energy can neither be created nor it can be destroyed.

But energy can be changed from one form to another.

Whereas entropy is the degree of randomness present within the molecules of a substance or object.

For example, gas molecules are able to move rapidly so, they have more entropy as compared to solid and liquid substances.

According to second law of thermodynamics, entropy of the system is always increasing.

Thus, we can conclude that "Conservation of energy" refers to the fact that energy cannot be created or destroyed but can be converted from one form to another.
