TABLE SALT IS A SUBSTANCE.
In chemistry, a substance refers to a matter which has specific composition and specific properties which do not change. A substance can be an element or a compound. A substance typically has a constant composition, which can not be separated by physical methods.
In the question given above, table salt is an example of a chemical substance because, it has a constant specific composition and its components can not be separated by physical methods. 
Seawater and sand are not substances, because they have varied compositions and their components can be separated by physical methods.

When the following equation is balanced, what is the coefficient for HCl? Mg(s) + HCl(aq) → MgCl2 (aq) + H2(g)
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

We have:

M

g

(

s

)

+

H

C

l

(

→

M

)

+

H

2

(

g

)

LHS

Mg= 1

H= 1

Cl= 1

RHS

Mg= 1

Cl=2

H=2

To make Cl and H have 2 on both sides, we place a 2 in front of the HCl

LHS

Mg=1, H=2, Cl=2

RHS

Mg=1, H=1, Cl=2

Thus the equation is balanced and the coefficient of Mg is 1, which is understood so it is not written in the final equation.

In some types of alcohol digestion, alcohol C_2 H_5 OHC 2 ​ H 5 ​ OHC, start subscript, 2, end subscript, H, start subscript, 5,
kari74 [83]

Answer:

This is the typical route of alcohol metabolism, where in the liver it is first transformed to acetaldehyde and then to acetate.

Explanation:

Ethanol is not digested but absorbed and follows its metabolic pathway in the liver, producing in the first instance acetaldehyde, which is the main substance that causes the hangover and then this compound is transformed into the final product, which is acetate Later acetate is metabolized to Acetyl-CoA. The enzyme responsible for the metabolism of ethanol is alcohol dehydrogenase in the liver, and for the cytochrome P-450 dependent system and for catalase in the liver.
