(01.01 mc) which of the following could be considered a scientific statement? a. pizza is the best-tasting food on earth. b. i believe there is life on other planets. c. it appears that ants live in colonies. d. i think nuclear energy is bad.

The correct answer is option C, that is, it appears that ants live in colonies.

The statement, that is, pizza is the best-tasting food on Earth is false, as it cannot be tested. The statement, that is, I believe that there is life on other planets is not a scientific statement, as it is just a belief. The statement, that is, I think nuclear energy is bad is also not a scientific statement as it is just an opinion.  

The statement, that is, it appears that ants live in colonies is a scientific statement as one can observe and test this.  

when 25.0 ml of 0.700 mol/l naoh was mixed in a calorimeter with 25.0 ml of 0.700 mol/l hcl, both initially at 20.0 °c, the temperature increased to 22.1 °c. the heat capacity of the calorimeter is 279 j/°c.

the equation for the reaction is:

naoh + hcl → nacl + h₂o

moles of hcl = 0.0250 l hcl ×

mol hcl

1 l hcl = 0.0175 mol hcl

volume of solution = (25.0 + 25.0) ml = 50.0 ml

= (22.1 – 20.0) °c = 2.1 °c

the heats involved are

8 m/s because for him to get the same amount of energy as ray is putting out, bobby, who weighs half as much as ray, needs to run twice as fast.
