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

percent. However, when five independent laboratories conducted the same experiment, they measured a reduction rate of only 5–8 percent. How did these laboratories show that the pharmaceutical company’s claims were invalid?

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.

Which of the following happens when solid sodium chloride dissolves in water?A.The attractive forces between water and the sodiu
grin007 [14]

Answer: option D. The attractive forces between the sodium and chloride ions are overcome by the attractive forces between the water and the sodium and chloride ions.

Explanation:

<em>Solid sodium chloride</em> (NaCl) is a ionic compound formed by ionic bonds between by the positive, metallic cations of sodium atom, Na⁺, and the negative, non-meatllic anions of chlorine atom, Cl⁻ (chloride).

Ionic bonds, then, are the electrostatic attracion between oppositely charged particles (cations and anions).

<em />

<em>When solid sodium chloride dissolves in water</em>, the ions (cations and anions) are separated in the solvent (water) due to the superior attracitve forces between such ions and the polar water molecules.

<em>Water</em> (H₂O) is a molecule, formed by polar covalent bonds between two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.

The polarity of water molecule is due to the fact that oxygen atoms are more electronegative than hydrogen atoms, which cause that the electron density is closer to oxygen nuclei than to hydrogen nuclei. This asymmetry in the electron density conferes a partial positive charge over each hydrogen atom and a partial negative charge over the oxygen atoms.

Thus, the positively charged hydrogen atoms attract and surround the negative chloride (Cl⁻) anions, while the negatively charged oxygen atoms attract and surround the positive sodium (Na⁺) cations. It is only because the attractive forces between the water and the sodium and chloride ions are stronger than the attractive forces between the sodiium and chloride ions that such ions may be kept separated in the solution. This process is called solvation and the ions are said to be solvated by the water molecules.

For an experiment, you place 15 g of ice with a temperature of -10 C into a cup and label
melamori03 [73]
The correct answer is c. Temperature is the average kinetic energy of a sample so if two samples have the same temperature they will also have the same average kinetic energy. I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.
