The correct answer is A. Mike joined a group that studies phrenology.

Explanation:

In science, a "pseudoscience" refers to practices and believes that have been claimed scientific but have not been proved or do not follow the scientific method to be considered as real science. Because of this pseudosciences are mainly considered as invalid and are not officially recognized by science. An example of this is astrology as this states the movements of celestial bodies influence human and life and therefore can be used for prediction. Considering this, the statement that is an example of pseudoscience is "Mike joined a group that studies phrenology" because phrenology is a set of beliefs and practices that focus on  measuring the skull to determine mental abilities, issues, etc but this was never proved through the scientific method and therefore nowadays is just a pseudoscience.

A student observes the combustion (burning) of propane (C3H8). Because of the heat and light it generates, the student concludes
insens350 [35]

Answer:

The student's conclusion is not correct

Explanation:

Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy required for a reaction to occur. All reactions require there activation energy to be met before the reaction can proceed. When the temperature of a reaction is increased, the kinetic energy of the reactant molecules increases; colliding more with each other, which makes them "surmount" the activation energy of the reaction faster as compared to a lower temperature.

In combustion, there is burning of an hydrocarbon (in this case propane) in excess oxygen. The burning assists in increasing the kinetic energy of the reactant particles which in turn easily surmounts the activation energy of the reaction  by colliding (effective collision) more with oxygen. So, the reaction has an activation energy but the activation energy has been met and passed and hence the reaction is proceeding faster.

Increasing the temperature of a reaction is one of the ways of increasing the rate of a chemical reaction.

HELP ASAP PLZ!!!! Find the mass of each substance. Show your work.
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

A. m C5H12 = 108.23 g

B. m F2 = 547.142 g

C. m Ca(CN)2 = 71.85 g

Explanation:

  • mass (m) = mol (n) × molecular weigth (Mw)

∴ Mw C5H12 = ((12.011)(5)) + ((1.008)(12)) = 72.151 g/mol C5H12

∴ Mw F2 = (18.998)(2) = 37.996 g/mol F2

∴ Mw = Ca(CN)2 = 40.078+((12.011+14.007)(2)) = 92.114 g/mol Ca(CN)2

A. m C5H12 = ( 1.50 mol)×(72.151 g/mol) = 108.23 g C5H12

B. m F2 = (14.4 mol)×(37.996 g/mol) = 547.142 g F2

C. m Ca(CN)2 = (0.780 mol)×(92.114 g/mol) = 71.85 g Ca(CN)2

The mass of a large order of french fries is about 170 G what is its approximate weight in pounds
kap26 [50]

Answer:

             0.374 Pound Approximately

Solution:

Gram and Pound are related as,

1 Gram  =  0.0022 Pound (approximately)

As we are given with 170 g of French Fries, so it can be converted into pounds as,

          1 Gram  =  0.0022 Pound

So,

          170 Grams  =  X Pounds

Solving for X,

                      X =  (170 Gram × 0.0022 Pounds) ÷ 1 Gram

                      X =  0.374 Pound Approximately
