Answer: D. New data must be found to support it
When a theory is disproved by other further evidence, it is just proper to look for new data to support the theory until it is proven otherwise. It cannot be considered a failure right away but cannot be part of the scientifi knowledge too and more not to become a law.
Answer:

Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, we employ the combined ideal gas law in order to understand the volume-gas-pressure behavior as shown below:

Hence, solving for the final pressure P2, we obtain (do not forget temperature must be absolute):

Best regards.
The nitrate reduction test identifies whether the given strain of bacteria is able to reduce nitrate to nitrite using anaerobic respiration.
In this test, the solution is incubated after adding the bacteria strain. After the incubation period is over, additional solutions Sulfuric acid (a) and Naphthylamine (b) are added to it.
If the reduction has occurred and the nitrite is present, then the solution gives red color.
If there is no color change, then the solution is tested for the presence of other reduction products like N2 gas , NH3 gas etc. This is done by adding zinc to the solution.
Zinc is able to reduce nitrate to nitrite only. Therefore a color change after the addition of zinc indicates that the bacterial strain was not able to reduce nitrate and nitrates are still present which were reduced by zinc.
If there is no color change, that means the nitrates are absent and the bacteria has reduced nitrate to some other species like N2 or NH3 gas.
Therefore , In the nitrate reduction test, only after the addition of zinc to your 24-hour incubated solutions a and b is there a color change. This indicates that the bacteria was not able to reduce nitrate to nitrite.

Explanation:
I am not sure this is a simple answer
Answer is: this sample of sand is heterogeneous mixture.
Heterogeneous mixture is not uniform in composition (in this mixture different metals and minerals), but proportions of its components (in this mixture particles of different colors, small pebbles) vary throughout the sample.
