For centuries scientists found evidence that supports the theory of spontaneous generation. Which of the following supported this theory?

A. The sun rising in the east and seeing in the west.
B. Maggots appearing on rotten meat.
C. The swan-next flask experiment.
D. All living things are made of cells.

Spontaneous generation theory is that living organisms can arise by non living things.

This theory follows the concept of abiogenesis where there is non living parent for a living child.

The appearance of maggots from rotten meat is the idea of abiogenesis, this creates a living organism with a dead parent.

The rotten piece of meat is a non living object but still maggots were formed from this.

Therefore the correct answer is B.

Explanation:

in the given question, the partial pressure is calculated by using the ideal gas equation, that is, pv = nrt

here, p is pressure, v is volume = 25 l, n is number of moles = 0.0104 moles, r is gas constant = -0.0821 l.atm / mol.k

t is temperature = 273 k

p = nrt / v

p = (0.0104 mol × 0.0821 l.atm / mol.k × 273 k) / 25 l

= 0.0093 atm
