They make the following claims. 1. The pressure inside N₂-filled tires does not rise or fall with temperature changes. 2. Nitrogen leaks out of tires much more slowly than air because the N₂ molecules are bigger. 3. Nitrogen is not very reactive, and moisture and O₂ in air cause corrosion that shortens tire life by 25-30% Evaluate the claim as a whole. Check all that apply. Claim passes falsifiability test.

- A SALMONELLA OUTBREAK INVOLVING 107 CONFIRMED AND 51 PROBABLE CASES OCCURRED IN DODGE COUNTY, WISCONSIN. THE ILLNESS WAS CAUSED BY EATING RAW BEEF COMMONLY KNOWN AS STEAK TARTARE. INVESTIGATION SUSPECT INADEQUATE CLEANING OF THE MEAT GRINDER MAY HAVE BEEN THE CAUSE OF THE ILLNESS. EMPLOYEES OF THE BUTCHER SHOP WHERE THE GROUND BEEF WAS PURCHASED INDICATED THE PARTS OF THE GRINDER WERE CLEANED AND SANITIZED AT THE END OF EACH DAY. HOWEVER, THE AUGER HOUSING, WHICH WAS ATTACHED WITH NUTS AND BOLTS COULD NOT BE EASILY REMOVED FOR CLEANING AND SANITIZING. EMPLOYEES INDICATED THEY HAD BEEN INSTRUCTED NOT TO REMOVE THE AUGER HOUSING FOR CLEANING. QUESTION: 1. WHAT WOULD BE THE POSSIBLE CAUSE OF SALMONELLA OUTBREAK? 2.

The piston is quickly pushed into the cylinder, which compresses the air inside the cylinder, dramatically A fire sy Increasing the temperature. This causes a small piece of material, such as cotton, in the cylinder to burn. A fire syringe has a cylinder with an initial volume of 10.0 cm, an initial pressure of 1.0 atm, and an initial temperature of 300. K. The piston is pushed down, which decreases the volume to 1.0 cm and increases the temperature to 510. K. Which of the following indicates the final pressure inside the cylinder and helps explain the pressure? The pressure decreases to 0.41 atm; the gas particles in the cylinder hit the walls of the cylinder with less speed. B The pressure remains constant at 1.0 atm; the changes in volume and temperature cancel each other ot.
