Question

which of the following is a scientific question? 1 point does the temperature of the water affect how fast an alka - seltzer tablet will dissolve? how fast will an alka - seltzer tablet dissolve? what kind of fertilizer is the best? what is the best team in the world cup, and why is it germany? which of the following is not a scientific question? 1 point does temperature affect the number of \chirps\ per minute that crickets make? does salt affect the freezing rate of water? which taste better according to yakima residents: aguachiles or ceviche? does playing classical music affect the rate of growth of tomato plants?

Explanation:

A scientific question is testable and objective. The question "Does the temperature of the water affect how fast an Alka - Seltzer tablet will dissolve?" is scientific as it can be tested by varying water temperature and measuring dissolution time. "How fast will an Alka - Seltzer tablet dissolve?" is too broad without a variable. "What kind of fertilizer is the best?" is subjective (best can be defined in many non - scientific ways). "What is the best team in the World Cup, and why is it Germany?" is subjective (best team is a matter of opinion).

For the second part, "Which taste better according to Yakima residents: Aguachiles or Ceviche?" is not scientific. Taste is subjective and based on personal preference, not an objective, testable phenomenon like the other options (which involve physical or biological phenomena that can be measured objectively).

Answer:

First question: "Does the temperature of the water affect how fast an Alka - Seltzer tablet will dissolve?"
Second question: "Which taste better according to Yakima residents: Aguachiles or Ceviche?"
