Question 2(Multiple Choice Worth 4 points) (01.01 MC) Dominic and Eva are using the same type of stopwatches to measure the time

it takes for a chemical reaction to occur. They each use the same stopwatch to measure the time. These are their results: Person Trial 1 Dominic 78 seconds Eva 81 seconds Why are their results unreliable and can lead to a pseudoscientific claim? They did not repeat their tests multiple times. They used the same type of stopwatch. They did not change the reactants in their chemical reactions. Only one person should have collected the data.

The results of Dominic and Eva's experiment is unreliable and can lead to a pseudoscientific claim primarily because they did not repeat their tests multiple times. Although, they used the same type of stopwatch in recording the time it takes for the chemical reaction to occur, they have different reactions times. Thus, it would have been better if they conducted several trials then obtained the average of their results.

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-they did not repeat their tests multiple times.

Explanation:

Pseudoscience or the false science is the scientific practice which is based on the belief system and has no supported evidences.

The pseudoscience facts cannot be verified with the scientific methods which includes the logical questions, hypothesis and results produces through the repeated experiment.

In the given question, Dominic and Eva performed experiments using same stopwatch to note the time of a chemical reaction but they recorded different time period for the same chemical reaction.

This could lead to discrepancies or errors in the results  and formation of conclusion. So experiment must be repeated to avoid the errors which the experimental method lacked.

Thus, the selected option is the correct answer.

For the reaction C + 2 H2 --&gt; CH4 how many moles of hydrogen are required to produce 10 moles of methane, CH4?
Leni [432]
  • 2moles of hydrogen required to produce 1 moles of CH_4(Methane)

Or

  • 1 mol of Methane need 2mols of hydrogen

10mol of Methane need:-

  • 10(2)
  • 20mols of hydrogen

What is hydrogenation
rodikova [14]
Hydrogenation – meaning, to treat with hydrogen – is a chemical reaction between molecular hydrogen and another compound or element, usually in the presence of a catalyst such as nickel, palladium or platinum. The process is commonly employed to reduce or saturate organic compounds.

Ten grams of a gas occupies 12.5 liters at a pressure of 42.0 cm Hg. What is the volume when the pressure has increased to 75.0
Fantom [35]
Based on the question, it is evident that the question is based on Boyle's Law which we will use to find the answer necessary.

Now, Boyle's Equation: P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

     V₂ = P₁V₁  ÷  P₂

∴   V₂  =  (12.5L × 42.0 cm · Hg) ÷ 75 cm · Hg

⇒  V₂  = 7 L
 
Thus, the <span>volume when the pressure has increased to 75.0 cm Hg is 7 Litres.</span>
