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.

The activation energy for the reaction NO2 (g )+ CO (g) ⟶ NO (g) + CO2 (g) is Ea = 218 kJ/mol and the change in enthalpy for the

madreJ [45]

Answer:

$470\frac{KJ}{mol}$

Explanation:

The activation energy represents the energy barrier that reagents must pass to transform into products (or products to transform into reagents in a reverse reaction)

For any reaction, the change in enthalpy is related to the activation energy by the equation

$\Delta H =E_{a\ direct}-E_{a\ reverse}$

So, the activation energy for the reverse reaction is

$E_{a\ reverse}=E_{a\ direct}-\Delta H =218 \frac{KJ}{mol} - (-252)\frac{KJ}{mol}=470\frac{KJ}{mol}$

What is the total pressure of a gas mixture containing partial pressures of

Advocard [28]

Answer:

1.54 atm

Explanation:

By Dalton's Law Of partial pressure,

Total Pressure = Sum of all partial pressures

So,P= P1 + P2 + P3

Therefore, P=0.23+0.42+0.89

=1.54 atm

A student heats 10.52 g of sodium hydrogen carbonate in a crucible until the compound completely decomposes to sodium carbonate

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

$m_{Na_2CO_3}^{theoretical}=6.636gNa_2CO_3$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the decomposition of sodium hydrogen carbonate is:

$2NaHCO_3(s)\rightarrow Na_2CO_3(s)+H_2O(g)+CO_2(g)$

Thus, since there is a 2:1 mole ratio between the sodium hydrogen carbonate and sodium carbonate, and the molar masses are 84.01 and 105.99 g/mol respectively, we obtain the following theoretical yield:

$m_{Na_2CO_3}^{theoretical}=10.52gNaHCO_3*\frac{1molNaHCO_3}{84.01gNaHCO_3}*\frac{1molNa_2CO_3}{2molNaHCO_3} *\frac{105.99gNa_2CO_3}{1molNa_2CO_3}\\\\ m_{Na_2CO_3}^{theoretical}=6.636gNa_2CO_3$

Best regards!
