Pseudoscience refers to belief, theories and practices that claims to be scientific but which have no basis in scientific facts.
Pseudoscience has many traits two of which are:
1. It is based on dogma and uncritical belief. Counter evidence might draw hostility from pseudo scientists.
2. There is usually suppression or distortion of data. Pseudo scientists typically perform selective data gathering, in which they only gather and consider favorable data that support their claims. <span />

Answer : The order of reaction with respect to A is, first order reaction.

The order of reaction with respect to B is, zero order reaction.

The overall order of reaction is, first order reaction.

Explanation :

Rate law is defined as the expression which expresses the rate of the reaction in terms of molar concentration of the reactants with each term raised to the power their stoichiometric coefficient of that reactant in the balanced chemical equation.

For the given chemical equation:

$A+B\rightarrow Products$

Rate law expression for the reaction:

$\text{Rate}=k[A]^a[B]^b$

where,

a = order with respect to A

b = order with respect to B

Expression for rate law for first observation:

$3.20\times 10^{-1}=k(1.50)^a(1.50)^b$ ....(1)

Expression for rate law for second observation:

$3.20\times 10^{-1}=k(1.50)^a(2.50)^b$ ....(2)

Expression for rate law for third observation:

$6.40\times 10^{-1}=k(3.00)^a(1.50)^b$ ....(3)

Dividing 1 from 2, we get:

$\frac{3.20\times 10^{-1}}{3.20\times 10^{-1}}=\frac{k(1.50)^a(2.50)^b}{k(1.50)^a(1.50)^b}\\\\1=1.66^b\\b=0$

Dividing 1 from 3, we get:

$\frac{6.40\times 10^{-1}}{3.20\times 10^{-1}}=\frac{k(3.00)^a(1.50)^b}{k(1.50)^a(1.50)^b}\\\\2=2^a\\a=1$

Thus, the rate law becomes:

$\text{Rate}=k[A]^1[B]^0$

$\text{Rate}=k[A]$

Thus,

The order of reaction with respect to A is, first order reaction.

The order of reaction with respect to B is, zero order reaction.

The overall order of reaction is, first order reaction.

A flask holds 3.01 x 1023 molecules of carbon dioxide. The container is holding ________

sammy [17]

(B), because 1.0 moles would be 6.02 x 10^23 molecules. So you have half a mole.<span>
