Answer:

C. Alchemy is not scientific, but chemistry is based on evidence.

Explanation:

Alchemy was based on mystical beliefs instead of the scientific method.

Chemistry is the study of matter and change based on evidence.

Determine the empirical and molecular formula for chrysotile asbestos. Chrysotile has the following percent composition: 28.03%

nlexa [21]

Answer: The empirical and molecular formula of chrysotile is $Mg_3Si_2H_3O_4$ and $Mg_6Si_4H_6O_{16}$

Explanation:

We are given:

Percentage of Mg = 28.03 %

Percentage of Si = 21.60 %

Percentage of H = 1.16 %

Percentage of O = 49.21 %

Let the mass of compound be 100 g. So, percentages given are taken as mass.

Mass of Mg = 28.03 g

Mass of Si = 21.60 g

Mass of H = 1.16 g

Mass of O = 49.21 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Magnesium = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Magnesium}}{\text{Molar mass of Magnesium}}=\frac{28.03g}{24g/mole}=1.17moles$

Moles of Silicon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Silicon}}{\text{Molar mass of Silicon}}=\frac{21.06g}{28g/mole}=0.752moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{1.16g}{1g/mole}=1.16moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{49.21g}{16g/mole}=3.07moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.752 moles.

For Magnesium = $\frac{1.17}{0.752}=1.5$

For Silicon = $\frac{0.752}{0.752}=1$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{1.16}{0.752}=1.5$

For Oxygen = $\frac{3.07}{0.485}=4.08\approx 4$

To convert the mole ratios into whole numbers, we multiply individual mole ratios by 2

Mole ratio of Magnesium = (2 × 1.5) = 3

Mole ratio of Silicon = (2 × 1) = 2

Mole ratio of Hydrogen = (2 × 1.5) = 3

Mole ratio of Oxygen = (2 × 4) = 8

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of Mg : Si : H : O = 3 : 2 : 3 : 8

The empirical formula for the given compound is $Mg_3Si_2H_3O_8$

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is :

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular mass}}{\text{Empirical mass}}$

We are given:

Mass of molecular formula = 520.8 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = [(24 × 3) + (28 × 2) + (1 × 3) + (16 × 8)] = 259 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$n=\frac{520.8g/mol}{259g/mol}=2$

Multiplying this valency by the subscript of every element of empirical formula, we get:

$Mg_{(3\times 2)}Si_{(2\times 2)}H_{(3\times 2)}O_{(8\times 2)}=Mg_6Si_4H_6O_{16}$

Hence, the empirical and molecular formula of chrysotile is $Mg_3Si_2H_3O_4$ and $Mg_6Si_4H_6O_{16}$

5. A hollow glass sphere has a volume of 350 mL and

Rina8888 [55]

Explanation:

Given that,

Volume of a hallow glass sphere is 350 mL

Specific gravity is 1.252

We need to find the weight of the sphere. The ratio of density of substance to the density of water is called specific gravity.

The density of water is 1 g/mL

$\text{specific gravity}=\dfrac{\text{density of substance}}{\text{density of water}}\\\\SG=\dfrac{m}{V\times \rho_w}\\\\m=SG\times V\times \rho_w\\\\m=1.252\times 350\ mL\times 1\ g/mL\\\\m=438.2\ \text{grams}$

We know that,

1 pound = 453.592 grams

So,

m = 0.97 lbs

So, the weight of the sphere is 0.97 lbs or 0.97 pounds.

our throat is dry, and you want the last cough drop in the box to last a long time in your mouth. What should you do? Keep the c

Ann [662]

You should keep the cough drop whole. This maintains the largest surface-to-volume ratio and slows the dissolution of the cough drop.

<h3>Delay of drug action</h3>

The action of the drug can be delayed to either reduce adverse effect if the drugs to the body or to enhance its therapeutic purposes.

Because the throat is dry, the therapeutic purposes of the cough drop would only be achieved if it's dissolution is delayed in the mouth.

To do so, the cough drop should be kept whole to maintain the largest surface-to-volume ratio. This would slow the dissolution of the cough drop.

Help its a test and I’m pretty bad at these

saw5 [17]

B) just learn that you move the decimal right as numbers go higher and left if numbers decrease

So 1.75 km =1750000

Move decimal to the left to get a scientific notation

So 1.75 x 10^6
