Which of the following correctly describes a compound?

Chemistry
1 answer:

3 0

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).

What is the function of alloying elements (e.g., cr, v, w, and mo) in tool steels?
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

An alloy is the combination of metals homogeneously.

Explanation:

Alloys can also include other elements in combination with metals e.g carbon and Iron forms steel.

Alloys find a host of application in various industries and domestic use.

Alloying of metals helps to improve the physical and chemical properties of such materials better.

Some materials are alloyed to improve their strength.

Alloying can help heat and electrical conduction of a substance.

Alloys can greatly prevent rusting and produce corrosion resistant metals.

Alloys can provide a better means for a material to be worked.

Alloys can be more durable than original materials.

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

1000kg

Explanation:

Density=mass/ volume

Mass= Density× volume

Mass= 1.0g/ml×1000ml

Mass= 1000kg

need help plz !The reaction between hydrogen and nitrogen to give ammonium is a reversible reaction. if why or why not.Answer it
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

We get ammonia because the forward and reverse reactions are happening at the same rates.

If 3 mol of  

H

2

is mixed in a sealed vessel with 1 mol  

N

2

under suitable conditions then they will react to form ammonia  

N

H

3

:

N

2

+

3

H

2

→

2

N

H

3

At the start of the reaction the concentration of the  

N

2

and  

H

2

are high. As soon as some  

N

H

3

is formed the reverse reaction will start to occur:

2

N

H

3

→

N

2

+

3

H

2

The rate of the reaction depends on concentration so the forward reaction will be fast at first when the concentration of the reactants is high. It will slow down as their concentration decreases.

By the same reasoning the reverse reaction will be slow at first then increase. These two processes continue until a point is reached when the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal.

We now state that the reaction has reached equilibrium which we show by:

N

2

+

3

H

2

⇌

2

N

H

3

It is described as "dynamic" because the forward and reverse reactions are happening at the same time although the concentrations of all the species remain constant.

So although  

N

H

3

is constantly breaking down, more is being formed at a constant rate.

In the Haber Process the system is actually not allowed to completely reach equilibrium as the process is continuous, as described in Mukhtar's answer.

How is thermal energy apart of weather changing
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

Heat, in the form of thermal energy, naturally moves from warmer substances to colder ones. When the ocean is warmer than the atmosphere, it transfers heat — through conduction and radiation — to make the air warmer. ... This redistributes thermal energy and causes changes in the weather.
