Answer:

Pure substances can be divided into two groups: elements and compounds.

Explanation:

Pure substances can be recognized because they have a definite constant composition, as can be seen in the formula, and distinct chemical properties.

For example, H₂O is a pure substance where the relation of 2 atoms of Hydrogen to 1 atom of Oxygen is always true. O₂ is also a pure substance because 1 molecule of O₂ always contains two atoms of Oxygen.

As we can see from above, pure substances can be formed by one or more types of atoms. Substances formed by 2 or more types of atoms are known as compounds (e.g. H₂O, CO₂). Substances formed by 1 type of atoms are known as elements (e.g. Na, O₂, O₃).

Compounds and elements are kinds of pure substances, so they inherit all properties from them (definite constant composition, distinct chemical properties).

If aqueous solution of lead (ll) nitrate and sodium sulfate, which insoluble precipitate is formed
forsale [732]

Answer:

Lead(II) sulfate

Explanation:

This looks like a double displacement reaction, in which the cations change partners with the anions.

The possible products are

Pb(NO₃)₂ (aq)+ Na₂SO₄(aq) ⟶PbSO₄(?) + 2NaNO₃(?)

To predict the product, we must use the solubility rules. Two important ones for this question are:

  1. Salts containing Group 1 elements are soluble.
  2. Most sulfates are soluble, but PbSO₄ is an important exception.

Thus, NaNO₃ is soluble and PbSO₄ is the precipitate.

Answer:

In short, because we are tearing up the oxygen factories to make way for carbon dioxide emitters. (Doesn't make a lot of sense, read the explanation)

Explanation:

So, 1000 years ago, we had a lot more trees, didn't have engines or cars or factories or anything, really that released carbon dioxide into the air and we had a lot more trees and since the invention of cars, engines, carbon dioxide-emitting tools and factories and all the other things that emit "Greenhouse gases" and in doing that, cleared more trees to make room for factories and roads and that has drastically changed the outlook of the carbon cycle.

A solution has a pOH of 8.7 so what is the pH of the solution? Is the solution acidic, basic, or neutral?
RSB [31]
PH + pOH = 14

pH = 14 - pOH

pH = 14 - 8.7

pH = 5,3

This solution is <u>acidic</u>.

If pH<7 - acidic
If pH=7 - neutral
If pH>7 - basic
