Spontaneous generation is the idea that a living thing can arise from nonliving material. This idea was a prevailing theory up u

ntil the late 1700s. What most likely caused this theory to be discarded? A. a series of experiments showed that living things only arise when other living things reproduce B. a series of experiments showed that nonliving materials are covered in microorganisms C. ideas in the late 1700s became old-fashioned and scientists looked for new, fresh ideas D. research in the field of biology proved that most living things reproduce sexually

Answer: A.

Explanation:

Scientists disproved the theory of Spontaneous generation by creating experiments that showed living things cannot arise from nonliving material. An example of this is the flask experiment conducted by Louis Pasteur.

Answer:

The Answer is Definitely A.

Explanation:

The actual experiment that sort of discredited this idea was when maggots were found to only spawn from actual meat from other flies.

<span> first calculate the moles of every compound used

n NH3 = (0.160 mol /L )(0 .360 L) = 0.058 moles NH3
which is equal to moles NH4OH
0.058 moles NH4OH.

  n MgCl2 = (0.12 mol /L)( 0.10 liters = .012 moles MgCl2

reaction 2 NH3.H20 or 2 NH4OH + MgCl2 --> Mg(OH)2(s) + 2 NH4+ + 2Cl-

Molarity of Mg++ =(0.012 moles Mg+) / 0.46 liters = 0.026 Molar Mg++

Molarity OH= (0.058 moles OH-)/ 0.46 liters = 0.126 molar OH-

the limiting reactant is Mg ++ because it is lesser than the molarity of OH-

Now the challenge is to drive the OH-) concentration down so low that Mg(OH)2 will not precipitate out.

Ksp = 1.8 x 10^-11 = (Mg)(OH-)^2

  Mg++ concentration to be .026 Molar, so let X = the (OH-) concentration

1.8 x l0^-11 = (0.026)(X)^2

(X)^2 = ( 1.8 x 10^-11) / (0.026)

X^2 = 6.92 x 10^-10
X = 2.63 x l0^-5 moles (OH-)/ L
this is the concentration where solid will form

so we need to lower the (OH-) which is 0.126 molar OH- down to 2.63 x 10^-5 molar OH- by adding NH4+ ions.

(0.126 moles/liter 0H-) - (2.63 x l0^-5 molar OH- ) = 0.123 moles per liter

OH- to be neutralized by adding NH4+

since the mole ratio is 1 : 1 then </span><span> 0.123 moles per liter NH4+ concentration to neutralize the </span><span><span> 0.123</span> moles of OH- in solution.


so to prevent the precipitation of mg(oh)2

0.123 - 0.058 = 0.065 Molar NH4+ is needed

This reaction was monitored as a function of time:
guajiro [1.7K]
A) Since the plot 1/[AB] vs time gives straight line, the order of the reaction with respect to A is second order:
rate constant, K = slope = 5.5 x 10⁻² M⁻¹S⁻¹

b) Rate law : Rate = k[AB]²

c) half life period of the 2nd order is inversely proportional to the initial concentration of the reactants 
t 1/2 = \frac{1}{K}. \frac{1}{A0}
t 1/2 = \frac{1}{(5.5 x 10^{-2}) (0.55M)} = 33 s

d) k = 5.5 x 10⁻² M⁻¹s⁻¹
Initial concentration of AB, [A₀] = 0.250 M
concentration of AB after 75 s = [A]
k = \frac{1}{t} [ \frac{1}{[A]} -  \frac{1}{[Ao]} ]
[A] = 0.123 M
Equation: AB → A + B
  concentration of AB after 75 s = 0.123 M
Amount of AB dissociated = 0.25 - 0.123 = 0.127 M
concentration of [A] produced = concentration of [B] produced = Amount of AB reacted = 0.127 M
