What are the answer choices?
The answer is 3). This is because elements are the simplest form of a substance, and cannot be broken down any further. Compounds on the other hand are much more complex than elements and can be broken down INTO elements.
For example, Na, sodium, is an element and cannot be broken down further. H2O, water, is a compound and can be broken down into Hydrogen and Oxygen.
Answer: 127.5ml
Explanation:
To calculate the volume of acid, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

where,
are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is 
are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is KOH.
We are given:

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Thus 127.5 ml of 0.5M of HNO3 would be needed to react with 85ml of 0.75M of KOH
Answer:
The method generally involves heating a mixture of epsomite and halite to form clusters of lower hydrated magnesium sulfate crystals and subsequently applying slight pressure to the clusters so that they collapse to yield fine, less hydrated magnesium sulfate crystals which can then be easily separated from the ...
