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.

Consider the following double replacement reaction between silver nitrate and sodium chloride: AgNO_3(aq) + NaCl(aq) → AgCl(s) +
Rama09 [41]

The question is not complete. Proposed completed question is:

When aqueous solutions of sodium chloride and silver nitrate are mixed, a double-displacement reaction occurs.  What is the balanced equation for the reaction?

               A.  

NaCl(aq) + AgNO3(aq) --------NaNO3(aq) + AgCl(aq)

               B.  

NaCl(aq) + AgNO3(aq) -------- NaNO3(aq) + 3AgCl(s)

               C.  

NaCl(aq) + AgNO3(aq) --------- NaNO3(aq) + AgCl(s)

               D.  

NaCl(aq) + AgNO3(aq) --------- Na(s) + AgNO3Cl(aq)

               E.  

NaCl(aq) + AgNO3(aq) --------- NaNO3(aq) + ClAg(s)

Answer is

       A.  

NaCl(aq) + AgNO3(aq) --------NaNO3(aq) + AgCl(aq)

Explanation:

Following the law of conservation of energy, the total number of atoms in the reactant  side is equal to the total number of atoms in the product side.

Given 28.2 grams of an unknown substance, if the substance absorbs 2165 joules of energy and the temperature increases by 35 Kel
liubo4ka [24]
I think the answer should be 2.19 J/g*K. The specific heat means the energy absorbed by 1 g substance to increase 1 Kelvin temperature. And keep the unit the same.

The drop-counter is misaligned with the buret, causing it to miss counting every one out of five drops of base added to the HCl.
Airida [17]

Answer:

Less than

Explanation:

According to the question, the drop counter is counting four out of five drops of base added to the HCl. So when the titration will reach to the end point the volume of Base recorded will be less than the actual volume of the base dropped in the solution.

We will use law of equivalence for the calculation of concentration of HCl,

M_1V_1 = M_2V_2

Where, M_1 and V_1 are molarity and volume of HCl and M_2 and V_2 are molarity of volume of the base added.

Thus concentration of HCl will be calculated as,

M_1=\frac{M_2V_2}{V_1}

As the recorded V_2 is less than the actual amount present in the solution, the calculated value of concentration of HCl will also be less than the actual.

What current (in a) is required to plate out 1. 22 g of nickel from a solution of ni2 in 0. 50 hour?
Mashcka [7]

The current required to accumulate the 1.22 grams of nickel in 0.5 hours is 2.23 A.

<h3>What is current?</h3>

The current is given as the product of the charge with time. In the electrochemical analysis of the nickel, there will be a reduction of the nickel ion to nickel. The formation is given as:

\rm Ni^{2+}+2e^-\;\rightleftharpoons Ni

There is the deposition of 1 mole of Ni with 2 electrons transfer. The transfer of charge for 1 mole that is 58.7 grams Nickel is:

\rm 58.7\;g=2\;\times\;96487\;C\\58.7\;g=192974\;C

The mass of Ni to be deposited is 1.22 grams. The charge required is given as:

\rm 58.7\;grams\;Ni=192974\;C\\\\1.22\;grams\;Ni=\dfrac{192974}{58.7}\;\times\;1.22\;C\\\\1.22\;grams\;Ni=4010.7\;C

The current required to transfer 4010.7 C of charge in 1800 seconds is given as:

\rm Charge=Current\;\times\;Time\\4010.7\;C=Current\;\times\;1800\;sec\\Current=2.23\;A

Thus, the current required to accumulate the 1.22 grams of nickel in 0.5 hours is 2.23 A.
