How are elements and compounds similar

2 answers:

I don't like to just give people the answer...so I'll explain what they are as well as differences and you should be able to deduce how they are similar. Compounds are basically a mix of atoms from different elements. An Element is a pure substance made up of one type of atom (you find them on the periodic table). Compounds can be broken down into similar forms...elements cannot. Compounds list is basically endless...so far there are only about 117 known elements. Compounds are expressed as a formula...Elements are expressed using symbols. Hope this helps get you on the right track!

Elements and compounds are pure chemical substances found in nature. The difference between an element and a compound is that an element is a substance made of same type of atoms, whereas a compound is made of different elements in definite proportions. Examples of elements include iron, copper, hydrogen and oxygen. Examples of compounds include water (H2O) and salt (Sodium Chloride - NaCl)

820 g Li2SO4 is dissolved into 2500 mL of solution. What is the molar concentration?

Andreas93 [3]

Molarity is defined as the moles of solute per liter of solution. $M=\frac{n}{V}$ . Where M is molarity, n is the number of moles and V is the volume. First we must find the molar mass of $Li_2SO_4$ which is 109.98 g/mol

$Li_2SO_4= 2 \times Li_{Ar} + S_{Ar} + 4 \times O_{Ar}\\= (2 \times 6.941 + 32.1 + 4 \times 16.0) = 109.98 g/mol$

$820\ g\ Li_2SO_4 \times \frac{mol}{109.98\ g}= 7.46\ mol\ Li_2SO4$

Then we find the molarity using above equation

$M= \frac{n}{V} = \frac{7.46 mol}{2500ml} \times\frac{1000ml}{L} = 2.98\ M$

My professor gave me two questions to solve using the Van Der Waals Equation. She told us to solve for P and the second one we h

Fed [463]

Answer:

P=atm

$b=\frac{L}{mol}$

Explanation:

The problem give you the Van Der Waals equation:

$(P+\frac{n^{2}a}{V^{2}})(V-nb)=nRT$

First we are going to solve for P:

$(P+\frac{n^{2}a}{V^{2}})=\frac{nRT}{(V-nb)}$

$P=\frac{nRT}{(V-nb)}-\frac{n^{2}a}{v^{2}}$

Then you should know all the units of each term of the equation, that is:

$P=atm$

$n=mol$

$R=\frac{L.atm}{mol.K}$

$a=atm\frac{L^{2}}{mol^{2}}$

$b=\frac{L}{mol}$

$T=K$

$V=L$

where atm=atmosphere, L=litters, K=kelvin

Now, you should replace the units in the equation for each value:

$P=\frac{(mol)(\frac{L.atm}{mol.K})(K)}{L-(mol)(\frac{L}{mol})}-\frac{(mol^{2})(\frac{atm.L^{2}}{mol^{2}})}{L^{2}}$

Then you should multiply and eliminate the same units which they are dividing each other (Please see the photo below), so you have:

$P=\frac{L.atm}{L-L}-atm$

Then operate the fraction subtraction:

P= $P=\frac{L.atm-L.atm}{L}$

$P=\frac{L.atm}{L}$

And finally you can find the answer:

P=atm

Now solving for b:

$(P+\frac{n^{2}a}{V^{2}})(V-nb)=nRT$

$(V-nb)=\frac{nRT}{(P+\frac{n^{2}a}{V^{2}})}$

$nb=V-\frac{nRT}{(P+\frac{n^{2}a}{V^{2}})}$

$b=\frac{V-\frac{nRT}{(P+\frac{n^{2}a}{V^{2}})}}{n}$

Replacing units:

$b=\frac{L-\frac{(mol).(\frac{L.atm}{mol.K}).K}{(atm+\frac{mol^{2}.\frac{atm.L^{2}}{mol^{2}}}{L^{2}})}}{mol}$

Multiplying and dividing units,(please see the second photo below), we have:

$b=\frac{L-\frac{L.atm}{atm}}{mol}$

$b=\frac{L-L}{mol}$

$b=\frac{L}{mol}$

The main reason that cs2 has a higher boiling point than co2 is that cs2

OlgaM077 [116]

Explanation:

Inspite of having similar intermolecular forces, CS2 has a higher boiling point than CO2, since it has a greater molar mass. The potential energy of molecules reduces until a certain level as they get closer to each other. Although the polarity of both CO2 and CS2 are cancelled because of their linear structure.

vova2212 [387]

To insert a thermometer into an adapter, use mineral oil to prepare the thermometer. Then, hold the thermometer close to the adapter and slowly turn the thermometer into the adapter.

The term "temperature" refers to a measurement of how cold or hot an actual physical object is. It is measured with a thermometer, which gives readings in Celsius, Kelvin, and Fahrenheit (°C, K, and °F).

The average kinetic energy of the particles in a given substance is often measured by temperature. A thermometer is a tool used to gauge a substance's or a body's temperature (degree of hotness or coolness). It is a bulb-shaped piece of thin glass that usually contains either coloured alcohol or mercury.

In order to get readings throughout the distillation process, a thermometer adapter is used with a temperature probe. Use mineral oil to prepare or make the thermometer suitable before inserting it into the adapter. After that, slowly insert the thermometer into the adaptor while holding it close to it.
