<span>C3H7 The unknown compound consists of only carbon and hydrogen. The oxygen comes from the air. So you need to first determine the relative moles of hydrogen and carbon that are present in the CO2 and H2O. First, look up the molar masses of Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen. Then determine the molar masses of CO2 and H2O. Carbon = 12.0107 Hydrogen = 1.00794 Oxygen = 15.999 Molar mass of CO2 1 * 12.0107 + 2 * 15.999 = 44.0087 Molar mass of H2O 2 * 1.00794 + 1 * 15.999 = 18.01488 Number of moles of CO2 22.1 g / 44.0087 g/mol = 0.502173 Number of moles of H2O 10.5 g / 18.01488 g/mol = 0.582852 Since there's 1 carbon atom per CO2 molecule, there are 0.502173 moles of carbon. Since there's 2 hydrogen atoms per H2O molecule, there are 2 * 0.582852 = 1.165703 moles of hydrogen. Now we need to find a simple ratio of small integers that comes close to the ratio of 0.502173 / 1.165703 = 0.43079 to determine the empirical formula. 3/7 = 0.428571, an error of only 0.002219. The next closest ratio has an error of 0.013654, over 6 times larger. So the empirical formula is C3H7</span>

Determine whether each of the descriptions of matter describes a heterogeneous mixture, a homogeneous mixture, or a pure substan
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer: a. two substances present; two phases present  : Heterogeneous mixture

b. two substances present; one phase present : Homogeneous mixture

c. one substance present; one phase present : pure substance.

d. one substance present; two phases present: Heterogeneous mixture

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.

Mixture is a substance which contains two or more than two types of components and they can be separated by physical means as well.

Homogeneous mixtures: It is a mixture that has uniform composition throughout the solution and the particle size or shapes are not different. There is no physical boundary between the dispersed phase and dispersion medium.

Heterogeneous mixtures: It is a mixture that has non-uniform composition throughout the solution and the particle size or shapes are also different.  There is a physical boundary between the dispersed phase and dispersion medium.
