Are pure substances chemically combined​

Chemistry

Pure substances can or can not be chemically combined.

Pure substances can be either elements or compounds, but not mixture. Mixture are different substances mixing together without being chemically combined, such as air, which is a mixture of oxygen, carbon dioxide, water etc. Mixture can be separated by physical methods, like filtration or decantation.

Meanwhile, elements are the substances that cannot be further separated by any means. No matter physical or chemical methods. Examples of elements are oxygen, hydrogen, neon and all the other ones from the periodic table. Compounds are basically elements joining together, but they’re chemically combined which means their electrons (kind of subatomic particle) are either shared or given away. These elements can only be separated by chemical methods like electrolysis or heating.

Therefore, as long as the substance cannot be separated by physical methods, it can be considered as a pure substance. We can now conclude that pure substance can be (element) or can not be (compound) chemically combined.

Mercury has a mass density of 13.54 g/ml . how many milliliters would 100. grams occupy
frosja888 [35]
<span>7.39 ml For this problem, simply divide the mass of mercury you have by it's density. 100 g / 13.54 g/ml = 7.3855 ml Since we only have 3 significant digits in 100., you need to round the result to 3 significant digits. So 7.3855 ml = 7.39 ml</span>

Fe(NO3)2 not sure how to get the oxidation numbers of all elements
Cloud [144]
<span>Fe(NO3)2
The NO3 part is a poly-atomic ion with total charge -1.
This is because Fe has a +2 charge and two NO3's with a -1 charge will balance out to 0.
 Most often we just make the assumption that Oxygen has a -2 oxidation number because it is very electro-negative.
So to find N, we just need an oxidation number that balances out with 3(-2) to get -1 (the total charge of the ion)</span>
