Alchemy is a branch of ancient knowledge that states that the only three essential substances in nature are salt, sulfur, and me

rcury.
Which of these best explains whether alchemy is a science or pseudoscience? (4 points)
It is pseudoscience because ancient knowledge is mystical yet reliable.
It is pseudoscience because there are at least 118 known elements in nature.
It is a science because sulfur and mercury are known to be important elements.
It is a science because salt is a commonly used compound in several laboratory experiments.

Answer:

It is pseudoscience because there are at least 118 known elements in nature.

Explanation:

Alchemy is an ancient branch of natural philosophy (not used much anymore).

I also just took the test and it's correct.

Calculate a reasonable amount (mass in g) of your unknown acid to use for a titration. You will want about 30 mL of titrant to g
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

"0.60 g" is the appropriate solution.

Explanation:

The given values are:

Volume of base,

= 30 ml

Molarity of base,

= 0.05 m

Molar mass of acid,

= 400 g/mol

As we know,

⇒  Molarity=\frac{Number \ of \ moles \ of \ base}{Number \ of \ solution}

On substituting the values, we get

⇒           0.05=\frac{Number \ of \ moles \ of \ base}{30\times 10^{-3}}

⇒  Number \ of \ moles \ of \ base=0.05\times 30\times 10^{-3}

⇒                                             =1.5\times 10^{-3}  

hence,

⇒  Moles \ of \ acid=\frac{Mass \ of \ acid}{Molar \ mass \ of \ acid}

On substituting the values, we get

⇒  1.5\times 10^{-3}=\frac{Mass \ of \ acid}{400}

⇒  Mass \ of \ acid=1.5\times 10^{-3}\times 400

⇒                         =0.60 \ g

How many H2O molecules are in 183.2 grams of H20 gas?
jek_recluse [69]

Answer: There are 61.24 \times 10^{23} molecules present in 183.2 grams of H_{2}O gas.

Explanation:

Given: Mass = 183.2 g

Number of moles is the mass of substance divided by its molar mass.

As molar mass of water is 18 g/mol. Therefore, moles of H_{2}O are calculated as follows.

Moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}\\= \frac{183.2 g}{18 g/mol}\\= 10.17 mol

According to the mole concept, there are 6.022 \times 10^{22} molecules present in one mole of a substance.

Hence, molecules present in 10.17 moles are calculated as follows.

10.17 mol \times 6.022 \times 10^{23}\\= 61.24 \times 10^{23}

Thus, we can conclude that there are 61.24 \times 10^{23} molecules present in 183.2 grams of H_{2}O gas.

8. What is the heat of reaction when hydrogen and oxygen combine to form water?
valina [46]

Answer:

The heat of reaction when hydrogen and oxygen combine to form water is :

<u>C. 571.6 kJ</u>

Explanation:

Enthalpy Change = The enthalpy change for the formation of 1 mole of the substance from their standard state is called the enthalpy of formation.

This is intensive quantity as it is fixed for 1 mole .

Intensive properties = Those properties which are independent on the amount of the substance are intensive properties.

The value of these quantities does not get halve if you divide the substance into two equal parts. example , density, refractive index.

However , the enthalpy of reaction is extensive. Because on increasing the amount the value of the enthalpy also get doubles

Hence for this reaction :

2H_{2}(g)+O_{2}\rightarrow 2H_{2}(l)

Its value is -285.8 kJ for 1 mole

And here two moles are present . so the value of molar enthalpy is:

-285.8 x 2 = -571.6 kJ

How many grams of water in 8.22 grams of cuso4*5h2o?
S_A_V [24]
Molar mass of CuSO4 * 5 H2O 
= 63.546 + 32 + 16*4 + 5*18 
= 249.546 g/mol
 Mass of water in that formula: 5 * 18 = 90 g/mol
Percent by mass of water = 90 / 249.546 = 36%
<span>So, 36% of your 8.22 g is water. 0.36 * 8.22= 2.95 g of water
</span>
