Answer:
Explanation:
Mixtures are impure substances with the following properties:
- Their composition is indefinite i.e they consisit of two or more elements or compounds in any proportion by mass.
- Their constituents retains their identity i.e physical properties are retained.
- They can easily be seperated by physical methods into their constituents.
It is important to seperate materials from mixtures because mixtures do not undergo chemical changes when they combine. This implies that they can easily be seperated using simple seperation techniques with the constituents still retaining their properties.
I believe that the choices for this question are:
C2H4O2, C4H8O4 <span>
CH2O, C6H12O6
C3H6O3, C6H12O6
C2H4O2, C6H12O6 </span>
The answer to this based on the molar masses given is:
C2H4O2, C6H12O6
To prove calculate the molar mass:
C2H4O2 = 2*12 + 4*1 + 2*16 = 60
C6H12O6 = 6*12 + 12*1 + 6*16 = 180
In this case, you are given the water density (62.4lb/ft3) and the water volume (10,000 gallons). But the unit used in the density and gallon is different, so you need to convert it. The calculation would be:
mass= density * volume
mass= 62.4 lb/ft3 * 10,000 gallons * (231 inch3/gallon) * (1 ft3/ 1728 inch3)
mass= 83,416.66 lbs= 81417 lbs
<em>Role of a catalysts in chemical reactions:</em>

The answer is most likely nonmetals. :)
