Explain why alchemy is not as reliable as modern day science

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ksivusya [100]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Alchemy is the forerunner of modern chemistry practiced during the medieval times. Chemists of those times were known and called alchemists.

These chemists had a very shallow knowledge of chemistry but were able to produce a wide range of chemicals.

  • Alchemy predates the scientific method.
  • Modern science is investigative and relies on the precepts of detailed and methodical process.
  • Modern day chemistry is a vertiginous study with more depth.
  • It seeks to provide details into reasons why certain chemical matter exists as they are. Or how combinations in reactions takes place.
  • Alchemy does not follow the scientific method in its investigation

A silver rod and a SHE are dipped into a saturated aqueous solution of silver oxalate, Ag2C2O4, at 25°C. The measured potential
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

3.50*10^-11 mol3 dm-9

Explanation:

A silver rod and a SHE are dipped into a saturated aqueous solution of silver oxalate, Ag2C2O4, at 25°C. The measured potential difference between the rod and the SHE is 0.5812 V, the rod being positive. Calculate the solubility product constant for silver oxalate.

Ag2C2O4 -->  2Ag+  +  C2O4 2-

So Ksp = [Ag+]^2 * [C2O42-]

In 1 L, 2.06*10^-4 mol of silver oxalate dissolve, giving, the same number of mol of oxalate ions, and twice the number of mol (4.12*10^-4) of silver ions.

So Ksp = (4.12*10^-4)^2 * (2.06*10^-4)

= 3.50*10^-11 mol3 dm-9

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Mg²⁺(aq) + SO₃²⁻(aq) + 2 H⁺(aq) + 2 I⁻(aq) ⇄ Mg²⁺(aq) + 2I⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) + SO₂(g)

Explanation:

<em>Give the complete ionic equation for the reaction (if any) that occurs when aqueous solutions of MgSO₃ and HI are mixed.</em>

When MgSO₃ reacts with HI they experience a double displacement reaction, in which the cations and anions of each compound are exchanged, forming H₂SO₃ and MgI₂. At the same time, H₂SO₃ tends to decompose to H₂O and SO₂. The complete molecular equation is:

MgSO₃(aq) + 2 HI(aq) ⇄ MgI₂(aq) + H₂O(l) + SO₂(g)

In the complete ionic equation, species with ionic bonds dissociate into ions.

Mg²⁺(aq) + SO₃²⁻(aq) + 2 H⁺(aq) + 2 I⁻(aq) ⇄ Mg²⁺(aq) + 2I⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) + SO₂(g)

Reaching 29,029 feet (8,848 meters) above sea level, Mount Everest is the highest mountain on Earth. Located in the Mahalangur section of the Himalayas, the mountain's summit straddles the border separating China and Nepal.

Or if you want a more literary description, try some devices to describe it i.e what's there, the atmosphere, the height/gradient etc.

If a balloon containing 3000 L of gas at 39°C and 99 kPa rises to an altitude where the pressure is 45.5 kPa and the temperature
ludmilkaskok [199]

\tt =3000~L\times \dfrac{289}{312}\times \dfrac{99}{45.5}

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

3000 L of gas at 39°C and 99 kPa to 45.5 kPa and 16°C,

Required

the new volume

Solution

Combined with Boyle's law and Gay Lussac's law  

\tt \dfrac{P_1.V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{P_2.V_2}{T_2}

T₁ = 39 + 273 = 312

T₂ = 16 + 273 = 289

Input the value :

V₂ = (P₁V₁.T₂)/(P₂.T₁)

V₂ = (99 x 3000 x 289)/(45.5 x 312)

or we can write it as:

V₂ = 3000 L x (289/312) x (99/45.5)

If 1 mole of gas occupies 22.4 liters of space, calculate the number of moles that will occupy 11.2 liters of space? Make sure t
Yuliya22 [10]

So, if 1 mole occupies 22.4 L, the imediate conclusion is that a bigger number of moles will occupy more than 22.4 L, and a smaller number of moles will occupy less than 22.4 L. In your case, 3 moles of gas will occupy 3 times more volume than 1 mole of gas
