How may a substance be tested to determine whether or not it is an element

Chemistry

yaroslaw [1]2 years ago
7 0

Always remember that a compound can be separated into simpler substances by chemical methods/reactions. While elements cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical reactions. You can do a flame test and spectrum analysis to determine whether a solid material is an element or a compound. Check the boiling and/or melting point, color or density. Also check the solid material’s reaction with oxygen, hydrogen, calcium, or various acids. Examine and study its physical chemistry. The element(s) that may be present may be identified by checking the absorption edges from an x-ray spectrum.

PLZ HELP!<br><br> How do you think changing the angle of a ramp will affect work done?
kogti [31]

Answer: The steepness of a ramp affects it by making it easier or harder.

Explanation: It's a bit situational. If you were going up a steep ramp with a heavy load, it will increase the work necessary, whereas if you were going down a ramp, it would decrease the work necessary. If you need this simply put, think about biking up and down a hill. It would be easier going down than up.

Consider the reaction. 2 Pb ( s ) + O 2 ( g ) ⟶ 2 PbO ( s ) An excess of oxygen reacts with 451.4 g of lead, forming 367.5 g of
Art [367]

Answer : The percent yield of the reaction is, 75.6 %

Solution : Given,

Mass of Pb = 451.4 g

Molar mass of Pb = 207 g/mole

Molar mass of PbO = 223 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of Pb.

\text{ Moles of }Pb=\frac{\text{ Mass of }Pb}{\text{ Molar mass of }Pb}=\frac{451.4g}{207g/mole}=2.18moles

Now we have to calculate the moles of PbO

The balanced chemical reaction is,

2Pb(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2PbO(s)

From the reaction, we conclude that

As, 2 mole of Pb react to give 2 mole of PbO

So, 2.18 mole of Pb react to give 2.18 mole of PbO

Now we have to calculate the mass of PbO

\text{ Mass of }PbO=\text{ Moles of }PbO\times \text{ Molar mass of }PbO

\text{ Mass of }PbO=(2.18moles)\times (223g/mole)=486.1g

Theoretical yield of PbO = 486.1 g

Experimental yield of PbO = 367.5 g

Now we have to calculate the percent yield of the reaction.

\% \text{ yield of the reaction}=\frac{\text{ Experimental yield of }PbO}{\text{ Theoretical yield of }PbO}\times 100

\% \text{ yield of the reaction}=\frac{367.5g}{486.1g}\times 100=75.6\%

Therefore, the percent yield of the reaction is, 75.6 %
