A- Identify the mixture:
The mixture of powdered charcoal and powdered sugar is considered as a homogeneous mixture. This means that you cannot identify the components with naked eye as they are uniformly distributed in the mixture.

B- Separate components:
You ca separate the charcoal powder from the sugar powder using the following steps:
1- add water. Sugar will dissolve in water while charcoal won't.
2- filter the solution where the powdered charcoal will remain on the filter paper and the solution of powder will pass through.
3- boil the sugar solution (above 100 degrees celcius). The water will evaporate and the sugar will precipitate.

Classify the following substituents according to whether they are electron donors or electron acceptors relative to hydrogen by

igor_vitrenko [27]

Species that have a lone pair of electrons often donate electrons by resonance while substituents that are electron deficient take away electrons by resonance.

<h3>What is resonance?</h3>

The term resonace has to do with the movement of electron pairs in a molecule. Inductive effects has to do with the drawing of electron density towards an atom or bond.

The two effects depends on the nature of a substituent. For instance, species that have a lone pair of electrons often donate electrons by resonance while substituents that are electron deficient take away electrons by resonance.

The question is incomplete hence the exact nature of the substituents can not be determined.

A 40.2 g sample of a metal heated to 99.3Â°C is placed into a calorimeter containing 120 g of water at 21.8Â°C. The final temper

aliina [53]

Answer:

B) Iron (c=0.45 J/g°C)

Explanation:

Given that:-

Heat gain by water = Heat lost by metal

Thus,

$m_{water}\times C_{water}\times (T_f-T_i)=-m_{metal}\times C_{metal}\times (T_f-T_i)$

Where, negative sign signifies heat loss

Or,

$m_{water}\times C_{water}\times (T_f-T_i)=m_{metal}\times C_{metal}\times (T_i-T_f)$

For water:

Mass = 120 g

Initial temperature = 21.8 °C

Final temperature = 24.5 °C

Specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

For metal:

Mass = 40.2 g

Initial temperature = 99.3 °C

Final temperature = 24.5 °C

Specific heat of metal = ?

So,

$120\times 4.184\times (24.5-21.8)=40.2\times C_{metal}\times (99.3-24.5)$

$40.2C_{metal}\left(99.3-24.5\right)=120\times \:2.7\times \:4.184$

$40.2C_{metal}\left(99.3-24.5\right)=1355.616$

$C_{metal}=0.45\ J/g^0C$

<u>This value corresponds to iron. Thus answer is B.</u>

18. Use the activity series to predict whether the following synthesis reaction will occur. Write the chemical equations for the

MAXImum [283]

<u>Answer:</u> The chemical reaction for the synthesis reaction is given below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Synthesis reaction is defined as a chemical reaction in which two small chemical substances combine together to form a single compound. The general equation for this chemical reaction follows:

$A+B\rightarrow AB$

For the reaction of calcium and oxygen combining together to form calcium oxide, the equation follows:

$2Ca(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CaO(s)$

By Stoichiometry,

2 moles of calcium element combines together with 1 mole of oxygen gas to produce 2 moles of calcium oxide.

Hence, the chemical equation for the reaction is given above.
