Answer:

The answer is C

Explanation:

D is a hypothesis, not a scientific statement. A and B are both left to the individual's subjective tastes. C is the only statement out of these 4 that would have objectifiable evidence and a means of determining if true.

Solution: Sentence D is a scientific statement.

Scientific statement is a statement that defines the science behind any situation. There should be any experimental result or observation to state any scientific statement. Also, the statement should be accepted by considering other scientific aspects.

Here, statement A can not be a scientific statement as different aromas of cooked food are liked by different people. Any one can find aroma of cooked food in copper better than the ceramic pot.

Thus, the statement can be proved wrong easily.

Statement B can not be a scientific statement as people can find the taste of normal water (without ice cubes) better than the ice cold water.

Statement C is not a scientific statement as there is no science behind watching baseball or ice hockey, it depends on the liking of today's people.

Statement D is a scientific statement because this can be scientifically proved.

Which equation is balanced?

vichka [17]

Answer:

2Na+F2 yields 2NaF is balanced.

Explanation:

There are 2 sodium and 2 fluorine in both reactants and product: In 2NaF the 2 is distributed because it is in the beginning of the compound.

30cm^3 of a dilute solution of Ca(OH)2 required 11 cm^3 of 0.06 mol/dm^. Hcl for complete neutralization. Calculate the concentr

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer: Thus concentration of $Ca(OH)_2$ in $mol/dm^3$ is 0.011 and in $g/dm^3$ is 0.814

Explanation:

To calculate the concentration of $Ca(OH)_2$ , we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

$n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2$

where,

$n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is $HCl$

$n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is $Ca(OH)_2$

We are given:

$n_1=1\\M_1=0.06mol/dm^3\\V_1=11cm^3=0.011dm^3\\n_2=2\\M_2=?\\V_2=30cm^3=0.030dm^3$ $1cm^3=0.001dm^3$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1\times 0.06mol/dm^3\times 0.011dm^3=2\times M_2\times 0.030dm^3\\\\M_2=0.011mol/dm^3$

The concentration in $g/dm^3$ is $0.011mol/dm^3\times 74g/mol=0.814g/dm^3$

Thus concentration of $Ca(OH)_2$ is $0.011mol/dm^3$ and $0.814g/dm^3$

By what factor will the kinetic energy change if the speed of the baseball is decreased to 54.8 mi/h? Express your answer as an

Serggg [28]

Answer:

The Kinetic Energy is approximately 3 times decreased

Explanation:

A baseball weighs 5.13 oz.

a)What is the kinetic energy, in joules, of this baseball when it is thrown by a major league pitcher at 95.o mi/h?

b) By what factor will the kinetic energy change if the speed of the baseball is decreased to 54.8 mi/h? Express your answer as an integer.

Kinetic Energy (KE)=0.5×mass×velocity ^ 2

Kinetic Energy (KE)=0.5×mass × velocity ^ 2

Joules = kg×m^2/s^2

1 mile = 1609.344 meters

1 hour = 3600 sec

1 Oz = 28.34952 g = 0.02834952 kg

a) KE=0.5×m×v^2

=0.5×(5.13 oz × 0.02834952 kg/1 ounce)×(95 miles/h × 1609.344 m/1 mile × 1 hr/3600 s)^2

=130.761 kg×m^2/s^2 = 130.761 Joules

b) KE=0.5×m×v^2

=0.5×(5.13 oz × 0.02834952 kg/1 ounce)×(54.8 miles/h × 1609.344 m/1 mile × 1 hr/3600 s)^2

=43.51028 kg×m^2/s^2 = 43.51028 Joules

= 130.761 / 43.51028 = 3.00528,

As such the Kinetic Energy is approximately 3 times decreased

Caffeine (C8H10N4O2) is a stimulant found in coffees and teas. When dissolved in water, it can accept a proton from a water mole

Olenka [21]

Answer:

See figure 1

Explanation:

If we want to find the acid and the Brønsted-Lowry base, we must remember the definition for each of these molecules:

-) Acid: hydrogen donor

-) Base: hydrogen acceptor

In the caffeine structure, we have several atoms of nitrogen. These nitrogen atoms have the ability to accept hydronium ions ( $H^+$ ). Therefore the caffeine molecule will be the base since it can accept

If caffeine is the base, the water must be the acid. So, the water in this reaction donated a hydronium ion.

Thus, caffeine is the base and water the acid. (See figure 1)
