Chemistry

yaroslaw [1]3 years ago

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.

Analyse the temperature versus time graph of water, given below.
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

Phase C - Liquid State

Phase E - Gaseous State

Explanation:

Usually, in phases of water, we have the following;

When temperature is less than zero, it is said to be in its solid phase as ice.

When temperature is between 0 to 100, we can say it is in the liquid phase as water.

When temperature is above 100°C, It is said to be in the gaseous phase as vapour.

From the diagram;

Phase C is the only liquid state because it falls between temperature of 0°C and 100°

Also, only phase E is in the gaseous phase because the temperature is above 100°C.

Humans sweat to expel toxins.

They also sweat because sweat helps the body cool down. During exercise, body temperature rises, sweat helps the body cool down.


Sweat also contain sodium. Which is why it’s salty.
