What cultural differences does Herodotus notice between Greek ways of living and those of Persia and Egypt

Sindrei [870]3 years ago

<span>The Persian Wars mark an important turning point not only in Greek history but, indeed, in the course of all European civilization. First and foremost, because of its victory Greece was saved from the threat of external rule and could develop on its own. Handed this independence, the Greeks chose to follow a path which forever changed the course of modern life. Without their success in this conflict, they would, no doubt, never have had the liberty, means or conviction to invent, discover or create all they did: not just history but philosophy, science, drama, art, architecture, indeed most of the cornerstones of modern civilization. Another consequence of this victory, less immediate but equally important, was that it prevented the Persians from dominating the lands to the west of Greece—as noted above, it's likely the fertile fields of Italy and Sicily, not the rough dust of Greece, were the real target of Xerxes' imperial designs—and there a tiny settlement called Rome had just begun to sprout, at that moment hardly a dot on the map, but it would later develop into a crucial player in the history of the West. Rome won freedom, too, in the Persian Wars, without ever fielding a single fighter. It's impossible to imagine how vastly different our world would be if Persia had conquered or exterminated the Romans before they'd ever had a chance to grow. Thus, the Greeks laid the groundwork for later Western culture, and Herodotus the foundation for understanding it. If so many of his facts look suspect or even prove incorrect, if he sometimes seems to set speculation and scandal over sober criticism and science, before condemning him we should recall that he founded this entire enterprise called history, a discipline which still bears the name he gave it. His critics should also bear in mind it's only because Herodotus set us on this path that we can even scorn his methods in the first place. To this most uncommon "common man," we owe an enormous collective debt.</span>

QUESTION 3 (a) Ammonium sulphate, (NH),50, is a soluble salt and it is used in agriculture as fertiliser. 5 g of ammonium sulpha
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

The equation: (NH₄)₂SO₄ = 2NH4(+) + SO4(-2)

The number of moles = 5 g / 132.14 g/mol = 0.038 mol

The number of molecules = 0.038 X 6.022x10^23 = 2.29x10^23

the number of positive ions present in the ammonium sulphate solution:

2 positive ions for every 1 molecule of (NH₄)₂SO₄

so 2 x 2.29x10^23 = 4.58x10^23

the number of negative ions present in the ammonium sulphate solution

1 negative ion for every 1 molecule of (NH₄)₂SO₄

so 1 x 2.29x10^23 = 2.29x10^23

the total number of ions present in the ammonium sulphate solution​

4.58x10^23 + 2.29x10^23 = 6.87x10^23

A student wants to make a 0.150 M aqueous solution of silver (I) nitrate but only has 11.27 g of AgNO3. What volume of the 0.150
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

442.3 mL

Explanation:

Remember that Molarity is a measure of concentration in Chemistry and it's defined as the number of moles of the substance divided by liters of the solution:

M=\frac{Moles of substance X}{Volume of the solution}

Then, you can express 11.27 g of AgNO3 as moles of AgNO3 using the molar mass of the compound:

11.27 g AgNO_{3} *\frac{1 mole AgNO_{3}}{169.87 g AgNO_{3}} = 0.06634 moles AgNO_{3}

Then you can solve for the volume of the solution:

Volume of the solution=\frac{Moles of AgNO_{3}}{M} =\frac{0.06634 mol AgNO_{3}}{0.150 M} =0.4423 L = 442.3 mL

Hope it helps!

The copper(I) ion forms a chloride salt (CuCl) that has Ksp = 1.2 x 10-6. Copper(I) also forms a complex ion with Cl-:Cu+ (aq) +
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer: (a) The solubility of CuCl in pure water is 1.1 \times 10^{-3} M.

(b) The solubility of CuCl in 0.1 M NaCl is 9.5 \times 10^{-3} M.

Explanation:

(a)  Chemical equation for the given reaction in pure water is as follows.

           CuCl(s) \rightarrow Cu^{+}(aq) + Cl^{-}(aq)

Initial:                         0            0

Change:                    +x           +x

Equilibm:                   x             x

K_{sp} = 1.2 \times 10^{-6}

And, equilibrium expression is as follows.

          K_{sp} = [Cu^{+}][Cl^{-}]

       1.2 \times 10^{-6} = x \times x

             x = 1.1 \times 10^{-3} M

Hence, the solubility of CuCl in pure water is 1.1 \times 10^{-3} M.

(b)  When NaCl is 0.1 M,

       CuCl(s) \rightarrow Cu^{+}(aq) + Cl^{-}(aq),  K_{sp} = 1.2 \times 10^{-6}

   Cu^{+}(aq) + 2Cl^{-}(aq) \rightleftharpoons CuCl_{2}(aq),  K = 8.7 \times 10^{4}

Net equation: CuCl(s) + Cl^{-}(aq) \rightarrow CuCl_{2}(aq)

               K' = K_{sp} \times K

                          = 0.1044

So for, CuCl(s) + Cl^{-}(aq) \rightarrow CuCl_{2}(aq)

Initial:                     0.1                 0

Change:                -x                   +x

Equilibm:            0.1 - x                x

Now, the equilibrium expression is as follows.

              K' = \frac{CuCl_{2}}{Cl^{-}}

         0.1044 = \frac{x}{0.1 - x}

              x = 9.5 \times 10^{-3} M

Therefore, the solubility of CuCl in 0.1 M NaCl is 9.5 \times 10^{-3} M.
