Are alchemy and chemistry the same: No

Explanation:

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.

At a certain concentration of H2 and NH3, the initial rate of reaction is 0.120 M / s. What would the initial rate of the reacti

mel-nik [20]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

The rate of certain reaction is given by the following rate law:

$rate=k[H_2]^2[NH_3]$

At a certain concentration of $H_2 and [tex]I_2, the initial rate of reaction is 0.120 M/s. What would the initial rate of the reaction be if the concentration of [tex]H_2 were halved.Answer : The initial rate of the reaction will be, 0.03 M/sExplanation :Rate law expression for the reaction:[tex]rate=k[H_2]^2[NH_3]$

As we are given that:

Initial rate = 0.120 M/s

Expression for rate law for first observation:

$0.120=k[H_2]^2[NH_3]$ ....(1)

Expression for rate law for second observation:

$R=k(\frac{[H_2]}{2})^2[NH_3]$ ....(2)

Dividing 2 by 1, we get:

$\frac{R}{0.120}=\frac{k(\frac{[H_2]}{2})^2[NH_3]}{k[H_2]^2[NH_3]}$

$\frac{R}{0.120}=\frac{1}{4}$

$R=0.03M/s$

Therefore, the initial rate of the reaction will be, 0.03 M/s

Create a graphic representation that illustrates the steps from gene to protein. Label and describe each step.

Vesna [10]

Okay so,

1) Translation- show the RNA strand attatching to a DNA strand with the complimentary base pairs. introns are spliced

2) mRNA leaves the cell and joins with a ribosome

3) Transcription - tRNA (clover shaped) reads each codon (triplets) which each code for an amino acid. The stop codons on the end tell the tRNA that the chain is finished

4) the sequence forms the primary structure (all peptide bonds) which determines the shape of the secondary (hyrdogen and peptide) and hence determines the shape of the tertiary structure of a protein (ionic, hydrogen, disulfide bridges and hydrophibic interactions)

Hope this helps :)

A 0.216 g sample of carbon dioxide, CO2, has a volume of 507 mL and a pressure of 470 mmHg. What is the temperature of the gas i

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

The temperature of the gas is 876.69 Kelvin

Explanation:

Ideal gases are a simplification of real gases that is done to study them more easily. It is considered to be formed by point particles, do not interact with each other and move randomly. It is also considered that the molecules of an ideal gas, in themselves, do not occupy any volume.

The pressure, P, the temperature, T, and the volume, V, of an ideal gas, are related by a simple formula called the ideal gas law:

P*V = n*R*T

where P is the gas pressure, V is the volume that occupies, T is its temperature, R is the ideal gas constant, and n is the number of moles of the gas.

In this case:

P= 470 mmHg
V= 570 mL= 0.570 L
n= 0.216 g= 0.0049 moles (being the molar mass of carbon dioxide is 44 g/mole)

R= 62.36367 $\frac{mmHg*L}{mol*K}$

Replacing:

470 mmHg*0.570 L= 0.0049 moles* 62.36367 $\frac{mmHg*L}{mol*K}$ *T

Solving:

$T=\frac{470 mmHg*0.570 L}{0.0049 moles* 62.36367\frac{mmHg*L}{mol*K} }$

T= 876.69 K

The temperature of the gas is 876.69 Kelvin

You need to make an aqueous solution of 0.182 M aluminum sulfate for an experiment in lab, using a 250 mL volumetric flask. How

Ksju [112]

Answer:

Hence, 15.99 g of solid Aluminum Sulfate should be added in 250 mL of Volumetric flask.

Explanation:

To make 0.187 M of Aluminum Sulfate solution in a 250 mL (0.250 L) Volumetric flask

The molar mass of Aluminum Sulfate = 342.15 g/mol

Using the molarity formula:-

Molarity = Number of moles/Volume of solution in a liter

Number of moles = Given weight/ molar mass

Molarity = (Given weight/ molar mass)/Volume of solution in liter

0.187 M = (Given weight/342.15 g/mol)/0.250 L

Given weight = 15.99 g

A 1.00 L of a solution is prepared by dissolving 125.6 g of NaF in it. What would be the molarity of this solution?

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

2.99 M

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we need to keep in mind the definition of molarity:

Molarity = moles of solute / liters of solution

In order to calculate the moles of solute, we convert 125.6 g of NaF into moles using its molar mass:

125.6 g NaF ÷ 42 g/mol = 2.99 mol NaF

As the volume is already given, we can proceed to calculate the molarity:

Molarity = 2.99 mol / 1.00 L = 2.99 M
