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.

How many milliliters of a 0.40%(w/v) solution of nalorphine must be injected to obtain a dose of 1.5 mg?

ozzi

The number of Ml of a 0.40 %w/v solution of ,nalorphine that must be injected to obtain a dose of 1.5 mg is calculated as below

since M/v% is mass of solute in grams per 100 ml

convert Mg to g
1 g = 1000 mg what about 1.5 mg =? grams
= 1.5 /1000 = 0.0015 grams

volume is therefore = 100 ( mass/ M/v%)

= 100 x( 0.0015/ 0.4) = 0.375 ML

Inside stars in space, the nuclei of hydrogen atoms fuse together to form helium atoms. This represents which form of energy?

mixas84 [53]

Explanation:

When two small nuclei combine together to form a large nuclei then it is known as nuclear fusion.

When nuclei of two hydrogen atoms fuse together then it results in the formation of a helium atom along with the release of lot of energy. This energy is nuclear energy.

This nuclear reaction is as follows.

$^{2}_{1}H + ^{3}_{1}H \rightarrow ^{4}_{2}He + ^{1}_{0}n + Energy$

Thus, we can conclude that nuclear fusion represents nuclear energy.
