Are pure substances chemically combined​

Chemistry

4 0

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.

If an ice cube melts at 0oC but water also freezes at 0oC, what is the difference between melting and freezing in terms of (a) t
zalisa [80]
The energy involved in melting in freezing is heat, At 0 degrees Celsius ice is at an equilibrium where the heat energy absorbed during melting (endothermic) and heat energy dispersed during freezing (exothermic). When ice melts its absorbs heat energy to change states, when water freezes to ice it dispersed heat energy so that the particles can move slow enough to be almost frozen, but still very small vibrations throughout the ice. Particles in the frozen state are packed tightly and help together by a crystal lattice and IMF's, liquid is free flowing with free floating particles that can move freely from one another particle.

How much does 200 gallons of water weigh?
Jlenok [28]
To be able to obtain the mass of the given volume of a substance, we need data on its density since it is the mass per volume of a substance. We multiply this value to the given volume. For water, it is approximately <span>10.02 lb/gal.

Mass of water = 200 gal ( 10.02 lb/gal ) = 200.4 lb

a sample of 25.0g of an unknown metal is added to 25.0ml of water in a graduated cylinder and the final volume is 28.5ml what is
leva [86]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is 7.14 g/mL</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume}  \\

From the question

mass of metal = 25 g

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 28.5 - 25 = 3.5 mL

It's density is

density =  \frac{25}{3.5}  \\  = 7.142857...

We have the final answer as

<h3>7.14 g/mL</h3>

Hope this helps you
