A compound is a pure substance formed by the chemical combination of two or more different elements.


A compound may be splitted into simpler substances by chemical reactions, and has different properties to those of the elements that form it.


The composition of a compound is fixed: every piece of a compound has the same kind of atoms, bonded in the same way and proportion.


Some examples of compounds are H₂O, NaCl, H₂O₂, CH₃COOH. As you see, they have a chemical formula which states the kind and number of the atoms that form them.


They are different to mixtures, which are formed by two or more compounds, in a variable proportion, and can be separated by physical media. Some examples of mixtures are the solutions (e.g. NaCl dissolved in H₂O), and some solid mixtures (e.g. a mixture of marbles and sand).

Which of the following will decrease the frequency of collisions?
kogti [31]

Answer:

The question isn't worded properly, but if 1 or 2 are DECREASED, the frequency of collisions of specified molecules will decrease.

Explanation:

Catalysts only facilitate reaction once molecules collide. Increased temperature makes molecules move more, and thus collide more. For concentration, if there are more molecules in the same amount of room/liquid, there will be more collisions because there are more of the molecules to collide.

Will Maynez burns a 0.6-g peanut beneath 50 g of water, which increases in temperature from 22°C to 50°C. (The specific heat cap
Neko [114]

Answer:

40% of  the energy release by the peanut is 3500 calories

Explanation:

One calorie is defined as the amount of energy required to increase the temperature of one gram of water for one degree Celsius (or one Kelvin)

Equation for energy gain by water is

Q = mcΔT

where, m is the mass of the object

c is the specific heat capacity

ΔT is the change in temperature

c =  1.0 cal/g?°C.

m = 50 g

ΔT = 50°C - 22°C

    = 28°C

Q = (50)× (1)× (28)

  = 1400calories

The peanut contain 1400calories of energy .

amount that 40% of energy is released to water ,

so,

Q = 1400 calories / 0.4

= 3500 calories

Therefore, 40% of  the energy release by the peanut is 3500 calories

A mixture of helium, nitrogen and oxygen has a total pressure of 821 mmHg. The partial pressure of helium is 105 mmHg, and the p
skad [1K]

Answer:

Total partial pressure, Pt = 821 mm Hg

Partial pressure of Helium, P1 = 105 mm Hg

Partial pressure of Nitrogen, P2 = 312 mm Hg

Partial pressure of Oxygen, P3 = ? mm Hg

According to Dalton's law of Partial pressures,

Pt = P1 + P2 + P3

So, <u>P3 = 404 mm Hg</u>
