Substance in which two or more elements are combined in a fixed proportion

Chemistry
1 answer:
Firdavs [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: compound

Explanation:

Element is a pure substance which is composed of atoms of similar elements.It can not be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions.Example: Copper Cu

Compound is a pure substance which is made from atoms of different elements combined together in a fixed ratio by mass.It can be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions. Example: water H_2O

Mixture is a substance which has two or more components which do not combine chemically and do not have any fixed ratio in which they are present. Example: Air

Sulfur oxides Carbon monoxides Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)Nitrates are responsible for the hole in the ozone layer.
svp [43]
The best answer for the question above would be the chloroflourocarbons or the CFCs. These chloroflourocarbons or CFCs are the ones responsible for the depletion of the ozone - which leads to leaving a hole in its layer. These gases eat out the ozone layer and allows harmful UV rays of the sun to come in the Earth.

What is the identity of a gas that has a density of 1.4975 g/L and a volume of 8.64 L at a pressure of 2.384 atm and with a temp
bagirrra123 [75]
Answer: H2O (water)

Explanation:

The answer choices for this question are:

A) H2O
B) N2
C) SO2
D) NO3
E) Cl2

The solution of the problem is:

1) Data:

<span> density, d = 1.4975 g/liter
volume, V = 8.64 liter
pressure, p = 2.384 atm
temperature, T = 349.6 K

2) Formulas:

d = m/V => m = d*V

n = m / molar mass => molar mass = m / n

pV = nRT => n = pV / RT

3) Solution

n = pV / RT = 2.384 atm * 8.64 liter / (0.0821 atm*liter/K*mol * 349.6K)

n = 0.7176 moles

</span>m = dV = 1.4975 g/ liter * <span>8.64 liter = 12.9384 g

molar mass = m / n = 12.9384 g / 0.7176 moles = 18.03 g/mol

That molar mass corresponds to the molar mass of water, therefore the gas is H2O (water vapor).</span>

What is the empirical formula of a compound containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in the ratio 14:42:84?
Alexxandr [17]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

D. CH₃O₆

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • We are given the ratio of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in a compound as 14: 42 : 84

We are supposed to determine the empirical formula of the compound;

  • We need to know what is an empirical formula;
  • An empirical formula of a compound is a formula that shows the simplest whole number ratio of elements in a compound.

In this case;

The ratio of C : H : O is 14 : 42 : 84

  • Note, this is not the simplest ratio.

But we can simplify further to get the simplest whole number ratio;

  • Therefore, 14 : 42 : 84  is equal to 1 : 3 : 6
  • Thus, the simplest whole number ratio of C : H : O in the compound is 1 : 3 : 6
  • Therefore, the empirical formula of the compound is CH₃O₆
