Answer:

b. Predicting your horoscope

Explanation:

Pseudoscience refers to claims that are scientifically misleading and do not follow the scientific method. For example, imagine someone claims a certain drug will make you live forever. This is an example of pseudoscience. It has not been tested using the scientific method and it is misleading.

The scientific method follows this general structure.

1. Ask a question

2. Do background research

3. Construct a hypothesis

4. Test your hypothesis

5. Analyze data and draw a conclusion

6. Communicate your results. (Was your hypothesis correct?)

Finding a new star, dating the age of a fossil, and finding new uses for a drug all are processes that use the scientific method. Predicting your horoscope is not a science and it has not been proven using the scientific method.

Calculate the mole fraction of cai2 in an aqueous solution prepared by dissolving 0.400 moles of cai2 in 850.0 g of water.
alukav5142 [94]
1) Formulas:

a) mole fraction of component 1, X1

X1 =  number of moles of compoent 1 / total number of moles

b) Molar mass = number grams / number of moles => number of moles =  number of grams / molar mass


2) Application

Number of moles of CaI2 = 0.400

Molar mass of water = 18.0 g/mol

Number of moles of water: 850.0 g / 18.0 g/mol = 47.22 mol

Total number of moles = 0.400 + 47.22 =47.62

Molar fraction of CaI2 = 0.400 / 47.62 = 0.00840

If you have 1.1 moles of magnesium nitrate then how many grams is that
marysya [2.9K]

Answer: 162.8 grams

Explanation:

Magnesium nitrate has a chemical formula of Mg(NO3)2.

Given that:

Number of moles of Mg(NO3)2 = 1.1 moles

Mass in grams of Mg(NO3)2 = ?

For Molar mass of Mg(NO3)2, use atomic mass of magnesium = 24g, nitrogen = 14g, oxygen = 16g

Mg(NO3)2 = 24g + (14g + 16gx3) x 2

= 24g + (14g + 48g) x 2

= 24g + (62g) x 2

= 24g + 124g

= 148g/mol

Now, apply the formula:

Number of moles = Mass in grams / molar mass

1.1 moles = Mass / 148g/mol

Mass = 1.1 moles x 148g/mol

Mass = 162.8 grams

Thus, there are 162.8 grams of magnesium nitrate.
