Pseudo-science is not considered real science because it is not testable.
Answer: Option A
<u>Explanation:</u>
Pseudoscience primarily includes beliefs, theories or practices that are somehow incompatible with the scientific facts. The pseudoscience can’t be tested on the basis of science.
Let’s take an example of astrology. Some people believe that stars and other celestial bodies draw a significant impact on their life i.e. Good or bad thing it's just because their stars are working either in a positive or negative manner.
But, this belief doesn’t have any well-proved or authentic background over which the whole concept can rely on. Hence, pseudoscience is not taken as a real science as a lack of strong proves.
Answer:
2 H₃PO₄(aq) + 3 Ba(OH)₂(aq) ⇒ Ba₃(PO₄)₂(s) + 6 H₂O(l)
Explanation:
Let's consider the unbalanced equation that occurs when phosphoric acid reacts with barium hydroxide to form water and barium phosphate. This is a neutralization reaction.
H₃PO₄(aq) + Ba(OH)₂(aq) ⇒ Ba₃(PO₄)₂(s) + H₂O(l)
We will balance it using the trial and error method.
First, we will balance Ba atoms by multiplying Ba(OH)₂ by 3 and P atoms by multiplying H₃PO₄ by 2.
2 H₃PO₄(aq) + 3 Ba(OH)₂(aq) ⇒ Ba₃(PO₄)₂(s) + H₂O(l)
Finally, we will get the balanced equation by multiplying H₂O by 6.
2 H₃PO₄(aq) + 3 Ba(OH)₂(aq) ⇒ Ba₃(PO₄)₂(s) + 6 H₂O(l)
Answer:
a. -0.63 V
b. No
Explanation:
Step 1: Given data
- Standard reduction potential of the anode (E°red): -1.33 V
- Minimum standard cell potential (E°cell): 0.70 V
Step 2: Calculate the required standard reduction potential of the cathode
The galvanic cell must provide at least 0.70V of electrical power, that is:
E°cell > 0.70 V [1]
We can calculate the standard reduction potential of the cathode (E°cat) using the following expression.
E°cell = E°cat - E°an [2]
If we combine [1] and [2], we get,
E°cat - E°an > 0.70 V
E°cat > 0.70 V + E°an
E°cat > 0.70 V + (-1.33 V)
E°cat > -0.63 V
The minimum E°cat is -0.63 V and there is no maximum E°cat.
