What is the difference between being imaginative in doing science and doing psuedoscience?

1 answer:

Being imaginative in doing science is using your knowledge and creativity to make innovative ideas, while psuedoscience is using sources that are not true and do not use actual science. Example being ads that say "Wow you will not believe what how this oil cured cancer!".

Answer: The $\Delta H^o_{rxn}$ for the reaction is 72 kJ.

Explanation:

Hess’s law of constant heat summation states that the amount of heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation remains the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation is treated as ordinary algebraic expressions and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. This means that the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is equal to the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

The given chemical reaction follows:

$2SrCO_3(s)\rightarrow 2Sr(s)+2C(s)+3O_2(g)$ $\Delta H^o_{rxn}=?$

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction are:

(1) $2Sr(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2SrO(s)$ $\Delta H_1=-1184kJ$

(2) $SrO(s)+CO_2(g)\rightarrow SrCO_3(s)$ $\Delta H_2=-234kJ$ ( × 2)

(3) $CO_2(g)\rightarrow C(s)+O_2(g)$ $\Delta H_3=394kJ$ ( × 2)

The expression for enthalpy of the reaction follows:

$\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[1\times (\Delta H_1)]+[2\times (-\Delta H_2)]+[2\times (\Delta H_3)]$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(1\times (-1184))+(2\times -(-234))+(2\times (394))]=72kJ$

Hence, the $\Delta H^o_{rxn}$ for the reaction is 72 kJ.

Boron (B) has two isotopes, boron-10 and boron-11. The atomic weight of boron is ?

suter [353]

Answer:

Approximately 10,5

Explanation:

The question is not really very specific, because it would need the percentages of those isotopes in the nature. As they are not shown, it should be the median of those two numbers.

atomic weight ≈ $\frac{10+11}{2}$ = 10,5

If you check a periodic table, you'll see it's actually 10,8, but that's because of the thing I told you at first (percentages missing).

Hope I could help.
