Which of the following is the best definition of pseudoscience? a. implausible or untestable scientific claims b. evidence based on personal beliefs and preferences c. hypotheses that have been disproved through scientific investigation d. evidence gathered through experience or direct observation

Calculate the enthalpy of the following reaction: 4 b (s) + 3 o2 (g) → 2 b2o3 (s) given the following pertinent information: (a) b2o3 (s) + 3 h2o (g) → 3 o2 (g) + b2h6 (g), δhoa = +2035 kj (b) 2 b (s) + 3 h2 (g) → b2h6 (g), δhob = +36 kj (c) h2 (g) + latex: \frac{1}{2} 1 2 o2 (g) → h2o (l), δhoc = −285 kj (d) h2o (l) → h2o (g), δhod = +44 kj

In the 1800s, one of the statements in john dalton's atomic theory was that atoms are indivisible. later experimental evidence led to the discovery of subatomic particles such as neutrons, electrons, and protons. what happened to the indivisible atom part of dalton's atomic theory, and why?

Both josef loschmidt and amedeo avogadro contributed to our understanding of basic molecular numbers, sizes, and reaction ratios. neither scientist discovered “avogadro’s number” in the form we use it today (6.02 x 10 23). still, there’s a controversy over the name. research the contributions from these two scientists and read about how avogadro’s number got its name. briefly state what you think this number should be called, providing key details of each scientist’s contributions to this concept and a solid rationale for your case in naming the number.
