Why is a solution not a pure substance?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Kaylis [27]1 year ago
5 0

A solution is not a pure substance as it is a mixture between a solute and a solvent.

Pure substances are substances that are made up of only type of particles and have a fixed structure. In pure substances the matter cannot be separated into other kinds of matter by any physical means.

A homogenous mixture of two or more substances in relative amounts that can be varied continuously up to what is called the limit of solubility. The term solution is commonly applied to the liquid state of matter, but solutions of gases and solids are possible.

A solution cannot be a pure substance because it is made up of a homogenous mixture of solute and a solvent. Homogenous means the matter cannot be separated out and therefore a solution cannot be a pure substance.

Which of the following elements has the smallest ionic radius?
GaryK [48]

Answer:

Lithium

Explanation:

Lithium is an alkali metal. This means that lithium is expected to be a member of the group one elements on the periodic table.

The group one elements ionize by losing one electron. Hence, the form univalent positive ions after ionization.

Lithium has 3 electrons, 2 belonging to the k shell with the valence L having the other electron. Upon ionization, it forms the ion Li+.

This means it has lost the electron in the valence shell probably through an ionic transfer. This means the only electron it has is in the S shell, which is of a smaller size when compared to elements having multiple rings of shell.

It is expected that negative ions become larger when they ionize as they receive more electrons while that of metals I.e positive electrons shrink when they ionize as they are givers of electrons.

A solution was prepared by mixing 50.0 g
frez [133]

Answer:

4.78 %.

Explanation:

<em>mass percent is the ratio of the mass of the solute to the mass of the solution multiplied by 100.</em>

<em></em>

<em>mass % = (mass of solute/mass of solution) x 100.</em>

<em></em>

mass of MgSO₄ = 50.0 g,

mass of water = d.V = (0.997 g/mL)(1000.0 mL) = 997.0 g.

mass of the solution = mass of water + mass of MgSO₄ = 997.0 g + 50.0 g = 1047.0 g.

<em>∴ mass % = (mass of solute/mass of solution) x 100</em> = (50.0 g/1047.0 g) x 100 = <em>4.776 % ≅ 4.78 %.</em>

Natalka [10]
Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions.
4d5 5s1 is where electron configurations of outer sublevels is the most stable. <span>this could be a tricky question because of the fact the respond is going against the final rule that could say that 4d4 5s2 is the main sturdy. the final 2 a merely nonsence there is not any such factor as s3 or s4</span>
