Answer: D) a pure substance and an element

Explanation:

Mercury is an element which is composed of similar atoms and is a pure substance.

Element is a pure substance which is composed of atoms of similar elements.

Compound is a pure substance which is made from atoms of different elements combined together in a fixed ratio by mass.

Mixtures are impure substances and are heterogeneous materials as they do not have uniform composition and the components are not evenly distributed throughout the material.

Rashid [163]
Following the Law of Conservation of Mass, you simply add the mass of both substances. Thus, 160 grams + 40 grams = 200 grams. So, even if initially, they are in liquid and solid form, they would still have the same mass even if they change phases, owing to that they are in a closed space.

Does every rock go through the rock cycle, from igneous to sedimentary to metamorphic each time around???
Alex17521 [72]
No it does not ALWAYS go through all the stages because each rock forms differently at different rates. Igneous rock can weather to sediement rock, or melt to magma, however this does not necessarily mean it does this every time. It all depends on the temperature, wind, and pressure/heat.

How does the law of definite proportions apply to hydrates?
vladimir1956 [14]
The law of definite proportions would state that a hydrate always contain exactly the same proportion of salt and water by mass.
strictly speaking, the law of definite proportion states that a compound always 
contains exactly the same proportion of elements by mass.
But the law is often applied to groupings of elements in compound.
Hydrates are salt that have a certain amount of  water asa part of their structure.
The water is chemically combined with the compound in a definite ratio.
