Answer:

The correct answer will be option-Pseudoscience does not follow the scientific method, and science does.

Explanation:

A scientific investigation tries to understand the natural phenomenon and is based on the systematic approach through a scientific method whereas pseudoscience is the practice of performing scientific experiments based on personal opinions and predictions.

The pseudoscience experiments are based on the belief system which are not supported by the evidence. Therefore, the pseudoscience results are based on the co-incidences and not on the systematic approach or the scientific method.

Thus, the selected option is the correct answer.

Propose a mechanism to account for the formation of a cyclic acetal from 4-hydroxypentanal and one equivalent of methanol. If th

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

If carbonyl oxygen of 4-hydroxypentanal is enriched with $O^{18}$ , then the oxygen label appears in the water .

Explanation:

In the first step, -OH group at C-4 gives intramolecular nucleophilic addition reaction at carbonyl center to produce a cyclic hemiacetal.
Then, one equivalent of methanol gives nucleophilic substitiution reaction by substituting -OH group in cyclic hemiacetal to produce cyclic acetal.
If carbonyl oxygen of 4-hydroxypentanal is enriched with $O^{18}$ , then the oxygen label appears in the water produced at the end of reaction.
Full reaction mechanism has been shown below.

Gasoline has a density of 0.749 g/ml. how many pounds does 19.2 gallons of gasoline weigh?

Svetradugi [14.3K]

A good first step is writing the amount in terms of ml.

19.2 gallons = 72.68 L = 72680 ml

that would mean it weighs 0.749*720680g = 54437.32ml = 54.437 L

hope that helps :)

Use the provided reduction potentials to calculate ArGº for the following balanced redox reaction: Pb2+(aq) + Cu(s) → Pb(s) + Cu

nydimaria [60]

Answer : The correct option is, +91 kJ/mole

Solution :

The balanced cell reaction will be,

$Cu(s)+Pb^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq)+Pb(s)$

Here copper (Cu) undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons, thus act as anode. Lead (Pb) undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.

First we have to calculate the standard electrode potential of the cell.

$E^0_{[Pb^{2+}/Pb]}=-0.13V$
