Are alchemy and chemistry the same: No

<u>Explanation:</u>

Alchemy and chemistry differ from each other. Their main difference lies in the concepts that they are based on. Alchemy has the base of viewing the reality of nature supernaturally. Chemistry has a base of viewing the reality in a natural way.

Protoscience is the name given for Alchemy. This is because that alchemy usually focuses on the traditional things like procedures and  terminologies. Chemistry always focuses on the matter and their transformations. The matter and its transformations are dealt with chemistry.

In which of these situations is convection most likely the main form of heat transfer?
lorasvet [3.4K]
In the first situation: the mechanism of covection is the main form of heat transfer when warm air from a heater moves around and upward.

In the case of the metal pan the mechanism of heat transfer is conduction.

In the case of sunburn the mechanism is radiation.

In the case of an ice cube melting in a hand, conduction is the most important mechanism.

c) A substance has a high melting point and conducts electricity. What type of structure does it have
trapecia [35]

Answer:

Metallic structure

Explanation:

They have a high melting point due to the strong forces of attraction between the positive ions (cations) and the delocalised electrons. Moreover, they conduct electricity due to the sea of delocalised electrons.

<em>[Extra: It could be an ionic compound since they also have a high melting point, however they only conduct electricity in liquid or aqeouus state.]</em>

Provide the name(s) for the tertiary alcohol(s) with the chemical formula C6H14O that have a 4-carbon chain. Although stereochem
pochemuha

Answer:

Explanation:

A tertiary alcohol is a compound (an alcohol) in which the carbon atom that has the hydroxyl group (-OH) is also bonded (saturated) to three different carbon atoms.

Based on the question, the only <u>tertiary alcohol that can result from C₆H₁₄O that have a 4-carbon chain</u> is

2-hydroxy-2,3-dimethylbutane

     H  OH   H    H

      |     |       |      |

H - C - C -   C  - C - H

      |     |       |      |

     H  CH₃  CH₃ H

From the above, we can see that the carbon atom having the hydroxyl group is also bonded to three other carbon atoms. And since we aren't considering stereochemistry, this is the only tertiary alcohol we can have with a 4-carbon chain

Describe one way to prove that a mixture of sugar and water is a solution and that a mixture of sand and water is not a solution
Llana [10]

Answer:

The solution is always homogeneous mixture and transparent through which the light can travel. The mixture of water and sugar is a solution because sugar is soluble in water and form homogeneous mixture while the sand can not dissolve in water and sand particles scatter the light.

Explanation:

Solution:

"The solution is always homogeneous mixture and transparent through which the light can travel"

The mixture of water and sugar is a solution because sugar is soluble in water and form homogeneous mixture. The solubility of sugar is high as compared to the sand in water because the negative and positive ends of sucrose easily dissolve into the polar solvent i.e, water

Suspension:

"Suspension is the heterogeneous mixture, in which the solute particles settle down but does not dissolve"

The mixture of water and sand is suspension. The sand can not dissolve in water because it is mostly consist of quartz. The nonpolar covalent bonds of  sand are too strong and cannot be break by water molecules.
