How are elements and compounds similar

Chemistry
2 answers:
Hatshy [7]3 years ago

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)

What is the mass of a 1.68-l sample of a liquid that has a density of 0.921g/ml?
Gwar [14]
Hey there!

Volume in mL :

1.68 L  * 1000 => 1680 mL

Density = 0.921 g/mL

Therefore:

Mass = density * Volume

Mass = 0.921 * 1680

Mass = 1547.28 g

How does an electron reach an excited state
quester [9]

When an electron quickly occupies an strength state increased than its ground state, it is in an excited state. An electron can end up excited if it is given greater energy, such as if it absorbs a photon, or packet of light, or collides with a close by atom or particle.

Organic molecules are defined as chemical compounds that contain ______ in distinct ratios and structures.
OLga [1]

Answer:

The answer is: <em>carbon</em>

Explanation:

Organic molecules contain the chemical element carbon (C) in its structure. In this type of molecules, carbon is usually bonded to hydrogen (H), oxygen (O) and, with less frecuency, nitrogen (N). Therefore, in these molecules, carbon forms simple, double and triple bonds with itself. Examples of organic molecules that are very important in biology are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids.

The same reaction is begun with an initial concentration of 0.05 M O3 and 0.02 M NO. Under these conditions, the reaction reache
Ivahew [28]
The balanced equation of the reaction is:

O3(g) + NO (g) → O2 (g) + NO2 (g)

Then the ratios of reaction is 1 mol O3 : 1 mol NO : 1 mol O2 : 1 mol NO2

If you have initially 0.05 M of O3 and 0.02 M of NO, the reaction will end when all the NO is consumed.

The by the stoichiometry 0.02 mol of O3 will be consumed in 8 seconds.

And the rate of reaction is change in concetration divided by the time.

The change in concentration in O3 is 0.02 M

Then, the rate respect O3 is 0.02 M / 8 seconds = 0.0025 M/s
