"if it is tested in a controlled setting with repeated results" is the statement among the choices given in the question that best describes that can possibly make this scientific claim valid. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the first option or option "A". I hope the answer has helped you.<span>

Acids react with calcium carbonate and more specifically carbonate to form carbon dioxide. An acid will give protons to the carbonate anion to produce carbonic acid which then decomposes into carbon dioxide and water. I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.
Answer:
It takes 86 days take to cover half of the lake
Explanation:
In the day #1, the amount of the algae is X,
In the day #2 is 2X
In the day #3 is 2*2*X = X*2²
...
In the day #n the amount of the algae is X*2^(n-1)
Assuming X = 1m³. In the day 87, the area infected was:
1m³*2^(87-1)
7.74x10²⁵m³ is the total area of the lake
the half of this amount is 3.87x10²⁵m³
The time transcurred is:
3.87x10²⁵m³ = 1m³*2^(n-1)
Multiplying for 5 in each side:
ln (3.87x10²⁵) = ln (2^(n-1))
58.9175 = n-1 * 0.6931
85 = n-1
86 = n

CxHy + O2 --> x CO2 + y/2 H2O
Find the moles of CO2 : 18.9g / 44 g/mol = .430 mol CO2 = .430 mol of C in compound
Find the moles of H2O: 5.79g / 18 g/mol = .322 mol H2O = .166 mol of H in compound
Find the mass of C and H in the compound:
.430mol x 12 = 5.16 g C
.166mol x 1g = .166g H
When you add these up they indicate a mass of 5.33 g for the compound, not 5.80g as you stated in the problem.
Therefore it is likely that either the mass of the CO2 or the mass of H20 produced is incorrect (most likely a typo).
In any event, to find the formula, you would take the moles of C and H and convert to a whole number ratio (this is usually done by dividing both of them by the smaller value).
