Scientific knowledge must be supported by evidence. An idea that is not supported by evidence but is made to appear scientific i

n order to make people think it is a part of science is called pseudoscience. Pseudoscience cannot be considered scientific because pseudoscientific ideas lack evidence. Which of the following ideas is considered scientific?
 A. The way the stars are positioned can be read to know the future.

 B. Crop circles are made in fields by alien organisms.

 C. Bigfoot lives in the forest and travels around the U.S.

 D. Genes are made up of DNA and affect how an organism looks.

Answers A-C would be considered pseudoscience, then. D can be considered scientific because there is definite evidence surrounding how genes are the codes in DNA that make everything the organism may need. 

Pseudoscientific beliefs do not line up with the scientific method. Ask yourself: Which one can be proven to be a reproducible experiment that can be peer reviewed (verified) by other experts in the same field?

Equation is balanced already
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

1.) 13 g C₄H₁₀

2.) 41 g CO₂

Explanation:

To find the mass of propane (C₄H₁₀) and carbon dioxide (CO₂), you need to (1) convert mass O₂ to moles O₂ (via molar mass), then (2) convert moles O₂ to moles C₄H₁₀/CO₂ (via mole-to-mole ratio from equation coefficients), and then (3) convert moles C₄H₁₀/CO₂ to mass C₄H₁₀/CO₂ (via molar mass). It is important to arrange the ratios in a way that allows for the cancellation of units. The final answers should have 2 sig figs to match the sig figs of the given value.

Molar Mass (C₄H₁₀): 4(12.011 g/mol) + 10(1.008 g/mol)

Molar Mass (C₄H₁₀): 58.124 g/mol

Molar Mass (CO₂): 12.011 g/mol + 2(15.998 g/mol)

Molar Mass (CO₂): 44.007 g/mol

Molar Mass (O₂): 2(15.998 g/mol)

Molar Mass (O₂): 31.996 g/mol

2 C₄H₁₀ + 13 O₂ ----> 8 CO₂ + 10 H₂O

 48 g O₂             1 mole             2 moles C₄H₁₀            58.124 g

How does a buffer resist change in pH upon addition of a strong acid? The strong acid reacts with the strong base in the buffer
MrRa [10]

Answer:

The strong acid reacts with the weak base in the buffer to form a weak acid, which produces few H+ ions in solution and therefore only a little change in pH.

Explanation:

When a strong acid is added to the buffer, the acid dissociates and furnish hydrogen ions which combine with the conjugate of the weak acid, forming weak acid. The weak acid dissociates to only some extent and can furnish only some protons and there is no significant change in the pH.

Hence, option B is correct.

The reaction
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

POCl_3 (g)\rightleftharpoons POCl (g) + Cl_2 (g)

Reducing the partial pressure of chlorine gas means that removal of chlorine gas from the equilibrium will shift the equilibrium in the direction according to Le Chatelier's principle.

On a removal of product from the equilibrium shifts the reaction in the forward reaction for reestablishment.So, when the partial pressure of chlorine is reduced by 50% the equilibrium will shift in forward direction in which POCL_3 will be consumed to form more chlorine gas.

Hence, A is correct .
