Is it possible for two different compounds to be made from the exact same two elements? Why or why not? With a limited number of

elements (less than 120 are known), does this mean we also have a small number of compounds or do we have a large number of compounds in this world?

We have a large number of compounds in this world so that implies it is possible for two different compounds to be made from the exact same two elements. Hydrocarbons are compounds made of Hydrogen and Carbon only and there are many different hydrocarbons; such as methane (CH4) and ethane (C2H6).

Yes, it is possible to combine the same two elements to form two different compounds. An example is carbon dioxide CO2 and carbon monoxide CO. This is because two elements can form different types of bond and end up with different compounds.


There is a limited number of elements but a large number of compounds because of the above reason.

Compare land cover and land use, explaining how they are related and describing one way that humans can affect that relationship
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

Land covers refer to all the manufactured structures and vegetation that covers the land it includes all vegetation including plants, shrubs, trees, and other man-made structures too.

On other hand, Land use is the term that explains the use of the land by the different human activities that are occurred on land that are directly related to the land.

Land cover influences land use by utilizing particular land such as parks, ponds, or other uses according to the land. and humans can cause changes in both when they urbanize the area or land.

Identify which subatomic particles match each of these descriptions. Specifically, determine whether the following descriptions
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

1. Protons

2. Electrons

3. Neutrons

4. Protons and neutrons

5. Electrons

Explanation:

The protons are the only positive sub-atomic particles and the have a charge of +1.

The Electrons are the only negative subatomic particles and they have a charge of -1

Neutrons do not have any charge but they have the same mass as the protons

The nucleus of an atom is where most of the atomic masses are concentrated and it houses the neutrons and protons

The electrons reside outside the nucleus and they have a much more lesser mass compared to the neutrons and protons

Which response includes all the following processes that are accompanied by an increase in entropy? 1) 2SO 2(g) + O 2(g) → SO 3(
Mashutka [201]

Answer: Reaction (1) , (3) and (4) are accompanied by an increase in entropy.

Explanation:

Entropy is the measure of randomness or disorder of a system. If a system moves from  an ordered arrangement to a disordered arrangement, the entropy is said to decrease and vice versa.

(1) 2SO_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow SO_3(g)

3 moles of reactant are changing to 1 mole of product , thus the randomness is increasing. Thus the entropy also increases.

2) H_2O(l)\rightarrow H_2O(s)

1 mole of Liquid reactant is changing to 1 mole of solid product , thus the randomness is decreasing. Thus the entropy also decreases.

3) Br_2(l)\rightarrow Br_2(g)

1 mole of Liquid reactant is changing to 1 mole of gaseous product , thus the randomness is increasing. Thus the entropy also increases.

4)  H_2O_2(l)\rightarrow H_2O(l)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)

1 mole of Liquid reactant is changing to half mole of gaseous product and 1 mole of liquid product, thus the randomness is increasing. Thus the entropy also increases.
