It is because in that time science was not established. This is, the experimentation to test hypotheses, which is a fundamental part of the scientific method, was not applied.

Atoms can not be seen, then they could only reflect or philosophize on this matter. This method is not able to give good answers to so complicated scientific matters.

What is the total number of moles represented by 20 grams of CACO3
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

B. 0.2.

Explanation:

  • We can use the relation:

<em>n = mass/molar mass</em>

mass of CaCO₃ = 20 g, molar mass of CaCO₃ = 100.0869 g/mol.

<em>∴ n = mass/molar mass = </em>(20 g)/(100.0869 g/mol) <em>= 0.1998 ≅ 0.2 mol.</em>

<em></em>

<em>So, the right choice is: B. 0.2.</em>

Marta_Voda [28]
The answer <span>is <span>8.9 g/mL</span>.</span>

The density (D) is <span>equal to mass (m) divided by volume (V): D = m/V

Let's find the mass of the object:
m = 156 g - 105.5 g = 50.5 g

Let's find the volume of the volume:
V = 30.7 mL - 25 mL = 5.7 mL

The density is:
D = m/V = 50.5 g  / 5.7 mL = 8.9 g/mL</span>

The difference in composition between a weak base and its conjugate acid is
Svetach [21]
A weak Bronsted-Lowry base is a weak proton acceptor, where the proton is in the form of H+, so the conjugate acid formed contains one more H atom and an extra positive charge.

What mass (in grams) of silver contains the same number of atoms as 5.59 grams of sulfur?
Amanda [17]

Answer:

18.84 g of silver.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number atoms present in 5.59 g of sulphur. This can be obtained as follow:

From Avogadro's hypothesis,

1 mole of sulphur contains 6.02×10²³ atoms.

1 mole of sulphur = 32 g

Thus,

32 g of sulphur contains 6.02×10²³ atoms.

Therefore, 5.59 g of sulphur will contain = (5.59 × 6.02×10²³) / 32 = 1.05×10²³ atoms.

From the calculations made above, 5.59 g of sulphur contains 1.05×10²³ atoms.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of silver that contains 1.05×10²³ atoms.

This is illustrated below:

1 mole of silver = 6.02×10²³ atoms.

1 mole of silver = 108 g

108 g of silver contains 6.02×10²³ atoms.

Therefore, Xg of silver will contain 1.05×10²³ atoms i.e

Xg of silver = (108 × 1.05×10²³)/6.02×10²³

Xg of silver = 18.84 g

Thus, 18.84 g of silver contains the same number of atoms (i.e 1.05×10²³ atoms) as 5.59 g of sulfur
