Why did Boyle think that chemistry was the key to understanding?

Chemistry
1 answer:
stepan [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Boyle believed that chemistry – the behavior of substances – could be explained through the motion of atoms, which in turn could be understood through mechanics – Galileo's mathematics of motion. Boyle was ultimately proved correct, because today we can understand chemistry mathematically, through quantum mechanics.

How many formula units are there in 450 g of Na2S04?
Mashutka [201]

Formula units in 450 g of Na_{2} So_{4} is 1.93 × 10²⁴ formula units.

<u>Explanation:</u>

First we have to find the number of moles in the given mass by dividing the mass by its molar mass as,

$\frac{450 g}{142.04 g/mol} =  3.2 moles

Now, we have to multiply the number of moles of Na₂SO₄ by the Avogadro's number, 6.022 × 10²³ formula units/mol, so we will get the number of formula units present in the given mass of the compound.

3.2 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ = 1.93 × 10²⁴ formula units.

So, 1.93 × 10²⁴ formula units is present in 450g of Na₂SO₄.

You find a mysterious bottle in the laboratory labeled 0.01 M Sodium Hydroxide. What is the pH of the solution?
andrey2020 [161]

Answer: pH of the solution is 12

Explanation:

NaOH —> Na+ + OH-

NaOH = 0.01M

Na+ = 0.01M

OH- = 0.01M

pOH = —log [OH-] = —log [0.01]

pOH = 2

pH + pOH = 14

pH = 14 — pOH = 14 — 2 = 12

pH = 12

4Fe (s) + 3 O2 (g) → 2 Fe2O3 (s)
Novay_Z [31]

Explanation:

The number acquired by an element after the lose or gain of an electron is called oxidation number.

For example, 4Fe(s) + 3O_{2}(g) \rightarrow 2Fe_{2}O_{3}(s)

Here, oxidation number of Fe(s) is 0 and Fe in Fe_{2}O_{3} is +3.

Oxidation number of O in O_{2}(g) is 0 as it is present in its elemental state.

The oxidation number of O in Fe_{2}O_{3} is calculated as follows.

2(3) + 3x = 0\\6 + 3x = 0\\x = \frac{-6}{3}\\= -2

Hence,  oxidation number of O in Fe_{2}O_{3} is -2.

  • The loss of electrons by an element or substance is called oxidation. Here, electrons are being lost by Fe(s) as an increase in oxidation state is occurring. So, Fe(s) is oxidized.
  • The gain of electrons by an element or substance is called reduction. Here, electrons are being added to O_{2} as a decrease in its oxidation state is occurring. So, O_{2}  is reduced.
  • An element or compound which is being reduced is called oxidizing agent. Here, O_{2}  is the oxidizing agent.
  • An element or compound which is being oxidized is called reducing agent. Here, Fe(s) is the reducing agent.
