A theory may not be right, but a law is. :)

A scientific theory is not a wild guess. It must be consistent with known experimental results and it must have predictive power. As new knowledge is gained,theories are refined to better explain the data. A law is a mathematical relationship that is consistently found to be true.

10) Explain what arsenic had to do with preserving bodies in the past and how that related to Sylvester’s body. Tell me how the

Salsk061 [2.6K]

10) Arsenic is a chemical agent which was used in preserving dead bodies in the past. It is mainly a formaldehyde mixture with coloring agents to give a dead body the look of life. Sylvester was a third mummy that was embalmed with arsenic in the late 1800s and is now on exhibit at Ye Olde Curiosity Shop in Seattle, Washington. His mummified body showed an extremely unusual since the remains weighed approximately 80 lbs when a body is composed of 70-80% water, after dehydration, the weight should be about 20-30% the premortem weight. The solution was also used during Civil War to preserve dead bodies as the dead were being shipped home from the battlefield.

9) Research can yield dates when certain plants/animals became domesticated and entered the standard diets of people, meaning you would not see masses eating beef before the cow became domesticated. To further this you can look at when a specific food was introduced into the diets of people in the geographic area of the person you are studying.

Calculate the molecular weight of a dibasic acid.0.56gm of which is required 250ml of N/20 sodium hydroxide solution for neutral

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer: The molecular weight of the dibasic acid is 89.6 g/mol

Explanation:

Normality is defined as the amount of solute expressed in the number of gram equivalents present per liter of solution. The units of normality are eq/L. The formula used to calculate normality:

$\text{Normality}=\frac{\text{Given mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Equivalent mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (mL)}}$ ....(1)

We are given:

Normality of solution = $\frac{1}{20}=0.05N$

Given mass of solute = 0.56 g

Volume of solution = 250 mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.05=\frac{0.56\times 1000}{\text{Equivalent mass of solute}\times 250}\\\\\text{Equivalent mass of solute}=\frac{0.56\times 1000}{0.05\times 250}=44.8g/eq$

Equivalent weight of an acid is calculated by using the equation:

$\text{Equivalent weight}=\frac{\text{Molar mass}}{\text{Basicity}}$ .....(2)

Equivalent weight of acid = 44.8 g/eq

Basicity of an acid = 2 eq/mol

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

$44.8g/eq=\frac{\text{Molar mass}}{2eq/mol}\\\\\text{Molar mass}=(44.8g/eq\times 2eq/mol)=89.6g/mol$

Hence, the molecular weight of the dibasic acid is 89.6 g/mol
