The correct answer is option D, confirmation bias.

Confirmation bias is the tendency to interpret data in a way that confirms the already designed hypotheses.  

As the two scientists interpret the data (or experimental result) in different ways to adhere to the different hypotheses, this is indicative of cognitive bias. This is also called inductive reasoning where the premise is viewed as evidence for the validity of the conclusion.

A student is doing an experiment to determine the effects of temperature on an object. He writes down that the initial temperatu
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

1) The Kelvin temperature cannot be negative

2) The Kelvin degree is written as K, not ºK

Explanation:

The temperature of an object can be written using different temperature scales.

The two most important scales are:

- Celsius scale: the Celsius degree is indicated with ºC. It is based on the freezing point of water (placed at 0ºC) and the boiling point of water (100ºC).

- Kelvin scale: the Kelvin is indicated with K. it is based on the concept of "absolute zero" temperature, which is the temperature at which matter stops moving, and it is placed at zero Kelvin (0 K), so this scale cannot have negative temperatures, since 0 K is the lowest possible temperature.

The expression to convert from Celsius degrees to Kelvin is:

T(K)=T(^{\circ}C)+273.15

Therefore  in this problem, since the student reported a temperature of -3.5 ºK, the errors done are:

1) The Kelvin temperature cannot be negative

2) The Kelvin degree is written as K, not ºK

What is dynamic equilibrium? What is dynamic equilibrium? Dynamic equilibrium in a chemical reaction is the condition in which t
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

The correct answer is: Dynamic equilibrium in a chemical reaction is the condition in which the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction.

Explanation:

Dynamic equilibrium is a chemical equilibrium between froward reaction and backward or reverse reaction where rate of reaction going forwards is equal to the rate of reaction going backward (reverse).  

Some other properties of dynamic equilibrium are:

  • Chemical equilibrium are attained is closed system.
  • The macroscopic remains constant like: volume, pressure, energy etc.
  • The concentration of the reactants and products remain constant.They are not always equal.

A phosphate buffer is involved in the formation of urine. The developing urine contains H2PO4 and HPO42- in the same concentrati
Katen [24]

Answer:

The ionization equation is

H_{2}PO_{4}^{-}  +H_{2}O ⇄HPO_{4}^{-2}  +H_{3}O^{+} (1)

Explanation:

The ionization equation is

H_{2}PO_{4}^{-}  +H_{2}O ⇄HPO_{4}^{-2}  +H_{3}O^{+} (1)

As the Bronsted definition sais, an acid is a substance with the ability to give protons thus, H2PO4 is the acid and HPO42- is the conjugate base.

The Ka expression is the ratio between the concentration of products and reactants of the equilibrium reaction so,

Ka = \frac{[HPO_{4}^{-2}] [H_{3}O^{+}]}{[H_{2}PO_{4}^{-}] [H_{2}O]} = 6.2x10^{-8}

The pKa is

-Log (Ka) = -Log (6.2x10^{-8}) = 7.2

The pKa of H2CO3 is 6,35, thus this a stronger acid than H2PO4. The higher the pKa of an acid greater the capacity to donate protons.

In the body H2CO3 is a more optimal buffer for regulating pH due to the combination of the two acid-base equilibriums and the two pKa.

If the urine is acidified, according to Le Chatlier's Principle the equilibrium (1)  moves to the left neutralizing the excess proton concentration.

Tatiana [17]

Answer : The correct answer is, Halide hydrocarbon.

Explanation :

Freon : Freon are the simple aliphatic organic compounds which may contains fluorine, carbon, hydrogen, chlorine or bromine. So, they are a type of chlorofluoro carbons (CFCs).

They are considered as refrigerants which are used in air-conditioning and refrigeration system.
