Answer: Pure substances cannot be separated by physical means.

Explanation:

A pure substance is a substance which contains definite composition of only one type of component. Hence, it cannot be separated by physical means.

On the other hand, a mixture is a substance which contains two or more than two types of components and they can be separated by physical means as well.

Thus, option (a) is correct one that is pure substances cannot be separated by physical means.

Consider a pot of water at 100 C. If it took 1,048,815 J of energy to vaporize the water and heat it to 135 C, how many grams of

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

There was 450.068g of water in the pot.

Explanation:

Latent heat of vaporisation = 2260 kJ/kg = 2260 J/g = L

Specific Heat of Steam = 2.010 kJ/kg C = 2.010 J/g = s

Let m = x g be the weight of water in the pot.

Energy required to vaporise water = mL = 2260x

Energy required to raise the temperature of water from 100 C to 135 C = msΔT = 70.35x

Total energy required = $2260x+x\times2.010\times(135-100)=2260x+70.35x=2330.35x$

$2330.35x=1048815\\x=450.068g$

Hence, there was 450.068g of water in the pot.

Explain what a chemical reaction is and moles

Delvig [45]

Answer:

A process during which chemical bonds between atoms are broken and new ones are formed, producing one or more substances.

Moles are the amount of substance that contains as many particles.

Explanation:

A chemical reaction is when a chemical change occurs for example when a nail comes into contact with air and is then exposed to air it begins to rust. It forms a red-brown substance which changes the chemical composition of the original compound.

Examples of chemical reactions:

Combustion

Oxidation (rusting)

Cooking an egg

Photosynthesis

Digestion

Fireworks

Paper Burnin

The mole is the amount of substance that contains as many particles (molecules, ions or atoms) as there are in 12g of carbon.

1 mol is the amount of substance that contains the same number of particles as there are atoms in 12.0 g of carbon-12 and that number is referred to as Avogardo's constant (6.022 x $10^{23}$ ).

What is the 3-dimensional orientation of a sublevel known as?

RoseWind [281]

The 3-dimensional orientation of a sublevel is known as atomic orbital.

In quantum mechanics, Atomic orbitals are locations around an atom's nucleus where electrons are most likely to be at any particular time(specific orbits). These specific orbits exist in levels and can be broken down into sublevels.

Each sublevel has an orbital and it is oriented differently in 3-dimensional space.

The atomic orbital is a mathematical function that depicts how one or two electrons in an atom behave as seen in waves.

3 A soil has 70% sand, 20% silt

Kisachek [45]

Today, as part of the series of posts on soils, we are going to look at ‘soil texture’. Soil forms the basis for all life but it’s important to know about its mineral constitution as well as its biological profile.

Texture refers to the ‘feel’ of the soil. This is affected by the constituent materials found within it, specifically sand, silt and clay particles. A coarse sand will feel gritty but a wet clay will feel heavy and sticky. The texture of a soil has a direct impact on the way the soil reacts to certain environmental conditions – for example, towards drought or heavy rain (with sandy soils more freely draining).

There is a big difference in the size of the different particles.

Coarse sand = diameter 2-0.2mm

Fine sand = diameter 0.2-0.02mm

Silt = diameter 0.02-0.002mm

Clay = diameter less than 0.002mm

Note how the clay particles are much smaller than the sand particles – this is important as it means the total surface area of a clay soil is much greater and so the capacity to hold water is also much greater.

Between the sand, silt and clay particles there are lots of pores. In fact a soil as a whole is generally 45% mineral, 5% organic matter (depending on the soil) and 50% pore space through which air and water can pass.

Sand –

Made up of weathered primary rock minerals.

The particles are irregular in outline.

They are large and so do not pack together easily.

Large pore spaces in between.

Air gets in very easily and water flows rapidly through it.

Silt –
