(BRAINLIEST AWARD!! LAST QUESTION!!) Jean-Baptiste Lamarck's theory of evolution stated that an organism could pass on to its of

fspring all characteristics it had acquired in its lifetime. Which of these statements best explains why this theory is considered invalid at present? (1 point)
Modern scientists accept only new scientific theories.

Most of the scientists worldwide do not accept this theory.

All old theories change into new theories over a period of time.

Newspapers and science magazines do not publish this theory any more.

Answer:

Most of the scientists worldwide do not accept this theory.

Explanation:

Lamarck's theory states that acquired traits can be passed on from parents to offspring. This theory can not be sufficiently substantiated by indisputable scientific evidences hence it is not accepted by majority of scientists worldwide.

Since science is empirical and the theory is mostly based on vague speculations rather than concrete evidence, it was long rejected by many biologists.

This theory suggests that all life forms will gradually evolve from simple to complex organisms while the simple organisms gradually disappear. This is not the case.

In a two-step synthesis, C6H11Br is converted into C6H12O. From the structure of the product, molecular formula of the starting
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. However in picture 1, you have the starting materials and the structure of the product, which you miss in this part.

Now, in picture 2, you have the starting reactant and the product, and the mechanism that is taking place here.

First, all what we have here is an acid  base reaction. In the first step, we are using the acid medium to convert the reactant into an alcohol. The bromine there, is not leaving the molecule yet, because it's neccesary for the next step. The starting reactant is an alkene, in that way, we can convert the reactant in the first step into a secondary alcohol. In other words, the first reaction is a alkene hydration.

In the second step, we use a strong base. You may say this is a strong nucleophile and will do a Sn2 reaction to form another alcohol there, but it's not the case, because, before any kind of reaction happens, the priority here is always the acid base, so the base will react with the acidic hydrogen. In this case, it will substract an hydrogen from the OH. When this happens, the lone pair will do an auto condensation here, and attacks the bromine in the molecule. In this way, the molecule will become a cyclomolecule, and that way it form the final product.

See picture 2, for mechanism

When a 120 g sample of aluminum absorbs 9612 of heat energy, its temperature increases from 25°C to 115°C. Find the specific hea
lesantik [10]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

0.89 J/g°C

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Concept tested: Quantity of heat

We are given;

  • Mass of the aluminium sample is 120 g
  • Quantity of heat absorbed by aluminium sample is 9612 g
  • Change in temperature, ΔT = 115°C - 25°C

                                                      = 90°C

We are required to calculate the specific heat capacity;

  • We need to know that the quantity of heat absorbed is calculated by the product of mass, specific heat capacity and change in temperature.

That is;

Q = m × c × ΔT

  • Therefore, rearranging the formula we can calculate the specific heat capacity of Aluminium.

Specific heat capacity, c = Q ÷ mΔT

                                         = 9612 J ÷ (120 g × 90°C)

                                         = 0.89 J/g°C

Therefore, the specific heat capacity of Aluminium is  0.89 J/g°C

A student receives 83.2 points, 44.6 points, 74.4 points, and 52.3 points on each of four tests. Determine the student’s test av
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

Average = 63.6

Explanation:

Average : The average of the given set of points can be calculated by dividing sum of the total point to the number of points.

Average =\frac{Sum\ of\ points}{Number\  of\ points}

The points that are given in this equation are:

83.2 , 44.6 , 74.4 , 52.3 .

These are 4 in number . So average is

Average =\frac{Sum\ of\ points}{Number\  of\ points}

Average =\frac{83.2+44.6+74.4+52.3}{4}

Average =\frac{254.5}{4}

Average =63.625

Significant digits : It is the number of digits that carry meaningful value to a measurement. The rules for counting number of significant digits are:

1. all non-zero digit are significant

2.Any zero between two non-zero are also significant.(305 = 3 significant digit )

3. Zero before the decimal are non-significant (0.003 = only 1 significant digit)

Zero after decimal are significant (3.00 has 3 significant digit)

4.Zero after non - zero digit is non significant (300 has 1 significant digit).

Significant digits in division :

The answer should have the significant digits that are least in any of number(83.2 , 44.6 , 74.4 , 52.3 )

All have = 3 significant digits.

So least numner of significant digit =3

Answer should have total = 3 significant digits

So,

Average = 63.6
