Why is modern chemistry considered scientific??

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.

A skeleton equation shows just the reactants and products whereas a balanced equation shows the
Anettt [7]

Answer:

<u></u>

  • <em>A skeleton equation shows just the reactants and products whereas a balanced equation shows the</em><u> relative amounts of, or proportion between, reactants and products.</u>

Explanation:

The <em>skeleton equation</em> shows which <em>reactants </em>are being used and which <em>products </em>are being formed.

The reactants are shown on the left and the products are shown on the right side of the equations, separeted by an arrow.

For example, the skeleton equation to obtain water is:

  • H₂(g) + O₂(g) → H₂O (g)

From it you know that hydrogen and oxygen react to form water, yet you do not know in which ratio they do it.

Then, you balance the equation, adding the appropiate coefficients, to make the number of atoms of each kind on the reactant side equal to the number of the same kind of atoms on the product side.

This is, for the example of water, the number of hydrogen atoms on  the left must equal the number of atoms of hygrogen on the right side, and  the number of oxygen atoms of the left must equal the number of oxygen atoms on the right.

For the water example that is:

  • 2H₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2H₂O (g)

  • Showing that 2 molecuies of hydrogen (or 4 atoms) react with 1 molecule of oxygen (or 2 atoms) to produce 2 molecules of water, and that proportion (relative amounts) will always be true for that reaction.

ratelena [41]

A solute is the substance to be dissolved (sugar). The solvent is the one doing the dissolving (water). The amount of solute that can be dissolved by the solvent is defined as solubility. Water can form a gas f hotnot heated and if you put something cold in the water that has that was formed can be dissolved by that cold substance.

A compound is made of 6.00 grams of oxygen, 7.00 grams of nitrogen, and 20.00grams of hydrogen. Find the percent composition of
xxTIMURxx [149]

The percent composition of the compound.

A O-18.18%, N-21.21%, H-60.60%

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

6.00 grams of oxygen,

7.00 grams of nitrogen,

20.00 grams of hydrogen.

Required

The percent composition

Solution

Total mass :

= mass of O + mass of N + mass of H

= 6 + 7 + 20

= 33 g

% O = 6/33 x 100%= 18.18%

% N = 7/33 x 100%=21.21%

% H = 20/33 x 100% = 60.6 %
