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

Chemistry

yaroslaw [1]3 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.

What is needed to burn the candle (reactant)?
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

wax, candlewick, and oxygen

Explanation:

The burning of the candle is both a physical as well as a chemical change. The reactants are the substances or the raw materials that are required for a reaction to the process. In the process of burning a candle, the reactants are the fuel which includes wax and wick, and oxygen which is found in the air. The products found at the end of the reaction are carbon dioxide and water vapor.

What reaction might we use to synthesize nickel sulfate,niso4? Write equations for acid base neutralization. Include states in y
il63 [147K]

Answer:

Here's what I get  

Explanation:

1. Nickel sulfate

base + acid ⟶ salt + water

NiSO₄ is a salt of the base Ni(OH)₂ and the acid sulfuric acid.

Hydroxides of transition metals are insoluble; most sulfates are soluble.

\underbrace{\hbox{Ni(OH)$_{2}$(s)}}_{\hbox{base}} + \underbrace{\hbox{H$_{2}$SO$_{4}$(aq)}}_{\hbox{acid}} \longrightarrow \, \underbrace{\hbox{NiSO$_{4}$(aq)}}_{\hbox{salt}} + \underbrace{\hbox{2H$_{2}$O(l)}}_{\hbox{water}}

2. Carbonate + acid

Most carbonates are insoluble.

They react with acids to form carbonic acid (H₂CO₃), which decomposes into water and carbon dioxide.

\rm NiCO_{3}(s) + H_{2}SO_{4}(aq) \longrightarrow \, NiSO_{4}(aq) + H_{2}O(l) + CO_{2}(g)

Which of the following factors could you change in a system and not change its induced EMF?
krok68 [10]
The options attached to the question above are listed below:
A. Magnetic field.
B. Type of wire.
C. Velocity of the wire.
D. Length of the wire in the field.

ANSWER
The correct option is B.
The factors that determine the induced current in a system are: the number of wires in the coil, the strength of the magnetic field and speed of armature rotation [speed of cutting]. Generally, the induced electromotive force across a conductor is equal to the rate at which magnetic flux is cut by the conductor. The type of wire used does not affect the induced EMF.
