A synthesis would be A+B-->AB its combining, decomposition is AB-->A+B, its the breaking up of a substance.
To
determine the empirical formula of the compound given, we need to determine the ratio of each element in the compound. To do that we assume to have 100 grams sample
of the compound with the given composition. Then, we calculate for the number
of moles of each element. We do as follows:<span>
mass moles
C 56.79 4.73
H 6.56 6.50
O 28.37 1.77
N 8.28 0.59
Dividing the number of moles of each element with
the smallest value, we will have the empirical formula:
</span> moles ratio
C 4.73 / 0.59 8
H 6.50 / 0.59 11
O 1.77 / 0.59 3
N 0.59 / 0.59 1<span>
</span><span>
The empirical formula would be C8H11O3N.</span>
Answer:
d. compound
Explanation:
<u>Mixture </u>: It is defined as the substance that is made by the combination of two or more different components which are physically combined.
<u>Homogeneous mixture</u> are the mixtures in which the composition of the substances in it are uniformly mixed. <u>Heterogeneous mixture</u> are the mixtures in which the composition of the substances in it are not uniformly mixed.
<u>
Compound :</u> It is a pure substance which is made from atoms of different elements combined together in a fixed ratio by mass and are chemically bonded.
<u>
Element :</u> It is a pure substance which is composed of atoms of similar elements.
<u>As discussed above, The different elements in the compounds are chemically bonded and hence, it is the substance which can be broken down into the simpler units when it subtend only by the chemical change.</u>
