Answer : The labs were unable to reproduce the pharmaceutical company’s data.
Explanation : Any scientific claim must have reproducible experimental data. In this case, when the pharmaceutical company has the claim of reducing the cancer growth cells by 35% then by using the same manufacturing procedure for the drug and lab should be able to get this result. But they failed to match up with the results which clearly indicates that the labs were not able to produce the same results and hence they concluded that the pharmaceutical company's claims were invalid.
Explanation:
-Filter help — delete some big unreacted, undesirable species (norit is probably from what you are sorting through, its only carbon which cleans up things)
— extract with DCM because you are probably in an aqueous phase, and some butanoate is in it
- Anhydrous sodium absorbs excess of water (dries the material)
-evaporation in the hood to clear the DCM and crystallize the product.
Answer:
(b). Mass and distance.
Explanation:
The gravitational force between two objects is given by Newton's law of universal gravitation. The formula is as follows :

Here,
G is universal gravitational constant
r is the distance between two objects
It is very clear that the gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Hence, the two quantities are used to predict gravitational force according to Newton's law of universal gravitation are mass and distance.
Lets take a moment to list all the characteristics of the group 18 (also known as noble gases and/or group 8) elements:
- They have 8 valence electrons.
- Don't need ANY more electrons because their octet is full (stable).
- Are stable
- Not reactive
- Known as the noble gases
Now.. lets take some time to think about why elements want to form ions:
Elements form ions to either gain or lose valence electrons to the element they bond with. This helps them GAIN a full octet. What is a full octet, you may ask? An octet is when an element has all 8 valence electrons and is stable, making it nonreactive.
Why would an element with a full octet want to bond? It already has a full octet, it does not need to bond.
That, my fellow Brainly user, is why the noble gases do not need to bond.
I really do hope this helps! Enjoy, and good luck on the studies.
