Gunpowder is a heterogenous mixture,

Reason : the composiotion of the mixture is not uniform throughout, the mixture can be separated by a suitable method , and finally , it composes of charcoal, sulfur and potassium nitrate which is not homogeneous mixture.

which term is used when sugar is completely dissolved in water

GaryK [48]

The term which is used is homogeneous.
when sugar is completely dissolved in the water, the mixture or solution homogeneous, both in same phase and same uniform texture that is liquid.
There two types of mixtures are heterogeneous and homogeneous in different phases.
If sugar is not completely dissolved in water and you see the crystals of sugar in water, then the solution will be heterogeneous.

The "Van Gogh" one is subjective, because it expresses opinion and is not a true, hard fact. :)

Liquid hexane

maks197457 [2]

Answer: The mass of $H_2O$ produced is 2.52 g

Explanation:

The number of moles is defined as the ratio of the mass of a substance to its molar mass. The equation used is:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ ......(1)

For hexane:

Given mass of hexane = 1.72 g

Molar mass of hexane = 86.18 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of hexane}=\frac{1.72g}{86.18g/mol}=0.020mol$

For oxygen gas:

Given mass of oxygen gas = 8.0 g

Molar mass of oxygen gas= 32 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of water}=\frac{8.0g}{32g/mol}=0.25mol$

The chemical equation for the combustion of hexane follows:

$2C_6H_{14}+19O_2\rightarrow 12CO_2+14H_2O$

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

If 2 moles of hexane reacts with 19 moles of oxygen gas

So, 0.020 moles of hexane will react with = $\frac{19}{2}\times 0.020=0.19mol$ of oxygen gas

As the given amount of oxygen gas is more than the required amount. Thus, it is present in excess and is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, hexane is considered a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of the product.

By the stoichiometry of the reaction:

If 2 moles of hexane produces 14 moles of $H_2O$

So, 0.020 moles of hexane will produce = $\frac{14}{2}\times 0.020=0.14mol$ of $H_2O$

We know, molar mass of $H_2O$ = 18 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Mass of }H_2O=(0.14mol\times 18g/mol)=2.52g$

Hence, the mass of $H_2O$ produced is 2.52 g

Chemicals (and humans) are all about what

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

Atoms, and chemical make up

Explanation:

Our bodies and any other terrestrial body are formed with atoms, those same atoms from a chemical make-up that creates items, such as water with 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom is formed. In essence, we all are about atoms and chemical makeup is the instruction on how to build us
