In which time period did alchemists attempt to change less valuable metals into gold? 8000 BC – 1000 BC 1000 BC – 450 BC 300 BC

SSSSS [86.1K]

Time Period 3 (300 BC to 1400 AD)

The alchemists were in pursuit of 2 ideals. First, alchemy came about from the belief that cheap metals can be transmuted to gold using the legendary substance <em>Philosopher's Stone</em> for the conversion. These views were greatly influenced by Aristotle. Thus, from 300 BC to 1400 AD, alchemists worked to make the conversion of cheap metals to gold a reality. However, it never succeeded.

After this, the second ideal that the alchemists were in pursuit of was the concoction of an elixir of life to enable people to live longer and cure all ailments. This took place in the 1500s up to the end of the 1600s. Just like the pursuit of the first ideal, efforts to succeed in the second one all led to failure.

A compound is broken down by chemical means during

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer : Option 3) Electrolysis.

Explanation : In the process of electrolysis, decomposition of the chemical is done by passing the electric current from the liquid or the solution containing ions in it. This is the process where compound is broken into ions namely, cations and anions.

Rest all options does not involves chemical decomposition of the compound.

Chromatography is a technique where rates of solute and solvent are compared in a medium where the solute components move at different rates and the separation is obtained.

Distillation simply purifies the liquid or solution by heating or cooling process.

Filtration just involves removal of impurities by using a more porous material device to get purified compound.

The only way to convert between two substances is to use a _____ to _____ conversion.

kykrilka [37]

Mole to Mole.

Assuming you're referring to converting in general, there must always be a mole to mole conversion.

Gram to gram would be incorrect as you must have a molar conversion in order to do so.

Gram to mole would be incorrect because that would leave out molecular conversions which would require three steps rather than two.

Mole to molecule is incorrect as it leaves out grams, depending on the circumstances and equation provided.

Thus, through process of elimination, mole to mole is the correct answer.

Hope this helps!

If 24.1 g of sodium hydroxide react with 22.0 g of hydrochloric acid to form 35.3g

disa [49]

Answer:

10.85 g of H2O.

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

NaOH + HCl —> NaCl + H2O

Next, we shall determine the mass of NaOH that reacted and the mass of H2O produced from the balanced equation.

These can be obtained as illustrated below:

Molar mass of NaOH = 23 + 16 + 1 = 40 g/mol

Mass of NaOH from the balanced equation = 1 × 40 = 40 g

Molar mass of H2O = (2×1) + 16 = 2 + 16 = 18 g/mol

Mass of H2O from the balanced equation = 1 × 18 = 18 g

Summary:

From the balanced equation above,

40 g of NaOH reacted to produce 18 g of H2O.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of water, H2O produced from the reaction as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

40 g of NaOH reacted to produce 18 g of H2O.

Therefore, 24.1 g of NaOH will react to produce = (24.1 × 18)/40 = 10.85 g of H2O.

Therefore, 10.85 g of H2O were produced from the reaction.
