(picture is a pic of cute colorful birds c: ) Suppose that you and a friend see brightly colored pigeons like these at a nature

park. Because pigeons are usually gray and white, you both wonder where these colors came from. Suddenly, your friend says, "I have a theory. These birds must get their colors from eating food that has the same colors."
Is your friend's explanation a scientific theory? Give reasons to explain your answer.

Answer:

It is most definitely not a scientific theory. When you eat, say, blueberries for example, do you turn blue? No. It has to do with their genetic makeup, so their parents must have been fun colors.

Answer:

Well yes it is a scientific theory because he examined the birds and gave a hypothesis on why the birds are different colors, before we knew how birds really got their colors, this could actually have been a very good theory. Birds get their colors just because of genetics, we wouldn't know this unless someone made a theory, tested it, and reported it's accuracy.

A sample of gas contains 0.1800 mol of CO(g) and 0.1800 mol of NO(g) and occupies a volume of 23.2 L. The following reaction tak
baherus [9]

Answer:

The volume of the sample is 17.4L

Explanation:

The reaction that occurs requires the same amount of CO and NO. As the moles added of both reactants are the same you don't have any limiting reactant. The only thing we need is the reaction where 4 moles of gases (2mol CO + 2mol NO) produce 3 moles of gases (2mol CO2 + 1mol N2). The moles produced are:

0.1800mol + 0.1800mol reactants =

0.3600mol reactant * (3mol products / 4mol reactants) = 0.2700 moles products.

Using Avogadro's law (States the moles of a gas are directly proportional to its pressure under constant temperature and pressure) we can find the volume of the products:

V1n2 = V2n1

<em>Where V is volume and n moles of 1, initial state and 2, final state of the gas</em>

Replacing:

V1 = 23.2L

n2 = 0.2700 moles

V2 = ??

n1 = 0.3600 moles

23.2L*0.2700mol = V2*0.3600moles

17.4L = V2

<h3>The volume of the sample is 17.4L</h3>

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

<u><em>Hydroxylation </em></u>

Explanation:

Hydroxylation is a chemical process that introduces a hydroxyl group (-OH) into an organic compound. In biochemistry, hydroxylation reactions are often facilitated by enzymes called hydroxylases. Hydroxylation is the first step in the oxidative degradation of organic compounds in air.
