Describe two tests that you can run to determine if something is a substance or a mixture.

Chemistry

ryzh [129]3 years ago

The difference between a substance and a mixture is that a substance is one of a kind, a material of the same composition throughout, on the contrary, a mixture is one or more different substances brought together and mixed together without changing the nature of each single substance.

One way to test it is to take two substances like sand and table salt. They should each be in granular form and in adequate amount to mix. Neither substance has changed after mixing the two. Even though it may not be easy or convenient to accomplish, each substance could be separated out from the mixture.

When it comes to two substances in lump form, it would not be a mixture when one lump is positioned next to the other lump because there are not enough pieces to combine.

However, there could be a mixture of three substances, like sand, table salt and graphite powder and there could be a mixture with four substances, etc., ad infinitum.

Mixtures are of solid substances in general. On the other hand, one starts referring to solutions when liquids are involved. Gases can be a mixture like for example, air is a mixture with nitrogen, oxygen, argon, etc.

What are Properties that can be recognized only when substances react or do not react
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

Chemical properties can be recognized only when substances react or do not react chemically with one another, that is, when they undergo a change in composition. A chemical property of one substance usually involves its ability to react or not react with another specific substance.

The chemical formula of bromomethane is BrCH3. Which correctly describes the number of atoms of each element in bromomethane?
Anit [1.1K]

The number of atoms of each element :

C : 1 atom

H : 3 atoms

Br = 1 atom

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Bromomethane-CH₃Br

Required

The number of atoms

Solution

The empirical formula is the smallest comparison of atoms of compound forming elements.  

A molecular formula is a formula that shows the number of atomic elements that make up a compound.  

The number of atoms in a compound is generally indicated as a subscript after the atom

C : 1 atom

H : 3 atoms

Br = 1 atom

Total 5 atoms

decomposition of hydrogen peroxide produce water and oxygen . calculate the volume of O2 formed from the decomposition of 150 mL
Ugo [173]

Explanation:

2H2O2 => 2H2O + O2

Moles of hydrogen peroxide = 0.150dm³ * (0.02mol/dm³) = 0.003mol .

Moles of oxygen = 0.0015mol.

Volume of oxygen = 0.0015mol * (22.4dm³/mol) = 0.0336dm³.

Im hella confused and need some help
tatiyna
An oxide is a molecule that has 2 Oxygen atoms in its empirical formula. Stoichiometry would be used as the ratio of Oxygen to Dioxides is 3:2. So 52.29 would be multiplied by 3/2. The answer is 78.435 Mol of CO2 are formed.
