Why is modern chemistry considered scientific??

Chemistry

Answer:

Chemistry now depends on empirical data rather than mere reasoning.

Explanation:

Modern chemistry is considered scientific because it depends on the scientific method.

Science is empirical in nature. Hypothesis are confirmed based on careful observation and experimentation before inferences are made based on experimental observations.

Chemistry in ancient times was based mostly on thought and reasoning. A typical example is the phlogiston theory which had no experimental backup.

Today chemistry entirely depends on evidences which are reproducible rather than mere reasoning.

I know I'm super late to answering this because it's a two week old question, but I'll just answer it any way lol.

The main reason why modern chemistry is considered scientific is because to confirm their results, scientists use the scientific method.

Consider the following unbalanced redox reactions. In each case, separate the whole reactions into half-reactions, balance the h
Marina86 [1]

Answer & Explanation:

(a)

Fe^{2+} +NO_{3}^{-}  => Fe{(OH)}_3 + N_2

reducing agent = Fe²⁺

Oxidizing agent = NO₃⁻

oxidation

Fe²⁺  ⇒ Fe(OH)₃

reduction

NO₃⁻  ⇒ N₂

Oxidation Half Reaction

(<em>redox reactions are balanced by adding appropriate H⁺ and H₂O atoms)</em>

Fe²⁺ ⇒ Fe(OH)₃

Balance O atoms

Fe²⁺ + 3H₂O ⇒ Fe(OH)₃

Balance H atoms

Fe² + 3H₂0 ⇒ Fe(OH)₃ + 3H⁺

balance Charge

Fe² + 3H₂0 ⇒ Fe(OH)₃ + 3H⁺ + e⁻..............(1)

reduction Half Reaction

NO₃⁻ ⇒ N₂

Balance N atoms

2NO₃⁻ ⇒N₂

Balance O atoms by adding appropriate H₂O

2NO₃⁻ ⇒ N₂ + 6H₂O

Balance H atoms

2NO₃⁻ + 12H⁺ ⇒ N₂ + 6H₂O

Balance Charge

2NO₃⁻ + 12H⁺ + 10e⁻⇒ N₂ + 6H₂O.................(2)

Combine Equation (1) and (2)

(1) × 10: 10Fe² + 30H₂0 ⇒ 10Fe(OH)₃ + 30H⁺ + 10e⁻

(2) × 1:   2NO₃⁻ + 12H⁺ + 10e⁻⇒ N₂ + 6H₂O

(1) + (2): 10Fe² + <u><em>30H₂0</em></u> + 2NO₃⁻ + <u><em>12H⁺</em></u> + <u><em>10e⁻</em></u> ⇒10Fe(OH)₃ + <u><em>30H⁺</em></u><u><em> </em></u>+ <em><u>10e⁻</u></em> +              

            N₂ + <u><em>6H₂O</em></u>

            10Fe² + 24H₂0 + 2NO₃⁻  ⇒ 10Fe(OH)₃ + 18H⁺ + N₂

this is the balanced reaction

REDUCTION POTENTIAL

10Fe²⁺(aq) + 10e⁻ ⇒ 10Fe(OH)₃(aq)             E°ox = 10(-0.44) = -4.4V

2NO₃⁻(aq) -  2e⁻ ⇌ N₂(g) + 18H⁺       E°red = 2(+0.80) = +1.6

10Fe² + 24H₂0 + 2NO₃⁻  ⇒ 10Fe(OH)₃ + 18H⁺ + N₂    E°cell = -2.8V

E°cell = E°red + E°ox

What will happen to convection currents in the mantle if earths interior eventually cools down?
VLD [36.1K]
If the core were to cool completely, the planet would grow cold and dead. It also would get a little dark: Power utilities pull radiant heat from Earth's crust and use it to heat water, the steam from which powers turbines to create electricity.Cooling also could cost us the magnetic shield around the planet created by heat from the core. This shield protects Earth from cosmic radiation. The shield is created by a convection process caused by constantly moving iron. Like the planet itself, Earth's core is constantly spinning. Some scientists think it's moving even faster than the rest of the planet. The friction converts kinetic energy into electrical and magnetic energy that forms the field, which deflects harmful, charged particles emanating from the sun toward the north and south poles. Your welcome :)

How many kilojoules of energy are required to heat 50.0 g of ethyl alcohol from 60.0 °C to 78.4 °C and vaporize it? The specific
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

44.62 kJ

Explanation:

Firstly, we calculate the energy needed to heat the liquid (ethyl alcohol) by using the formula:

Q = m × c × ∆T

Where;

Q = Amount of heat (J)

m = mass (g)

c = specific heat of ethyl alcohol = 2.138 J/g°C

∆T = change in temperature (°C)

According to the information given in this question;

Q = ?, m = 50.0g, ∆T = (78.4°C - 60°C) = 18.4°C

Therefore, using Q = mc∆T

Q = 50 × 2.138 × 18.4

Q (amount of energy needed to heat ethyl alcohol) = 1966.96 J

Next, we calculate and add the amount of heat needed to vaporize by using the formula;

How many kilojoules of energy are required to heat 50.0 g of ethyl alcohol from 60.0 °C to 78.4 °C and vaporize it? The specific heat of ethyl alcohol is heat of vaporization is 853 J/g.

The solar corona has a temperature of more than a million kelvins; the photosphere has a temperature of only about 6000 K. Why i
kicyunya [14]

Answer & explanation:

Despite the huge difference in temperature between the solar corona and the photosphere, in addition to the fact that the solar corona is the largest and outermost layer of the solar atmosphere (about 13 million kilometers), the photosphere becomes a visible surface region due to to the gases present in it, causing the body to stop being transparent, becoming opaque to light.

However, it is still possible to observe the solar corona in total eclipses, where the opacity to light extends across the sun, facilitating the visibility of the corona and other layers.
