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.

Which type of telescope would perform better on a mountaintop than at a lower elevation?
marishachu [46]

when an optical telescope located on the ground is used to view the sky the image has to surpass through the earth's atmosphere which is polluted. so the resolution wont be clear. When viewed on a mountain top both optical and infrared telescopes would perform better as the air above the atmosphere is less depth and cleaner.

The first law of thermodynamics is observed when
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The first law of Thermodynamics is known as Conservation because it explains that energy is always maintained within a closed system and cannot be created or destroyed. Therefore, this is observed when there is no longer change in temperature in a system. Mainly because the energy is not being transferred to and from another system. Without this transfer of energy, the energy itself gets conserved within the system and the temperature no longer fluctuates.

A sample of carbon dioxide is contained in a 250.0 mL flask at 0.930 atm and 15.4 °C. How many molecules of gas are in
Yanka [14]

Answer:

We are given:

Volume (V) = 0.25 L

Pressure (P) = 0.93 atm

Temperature (T) = 15.4°C  OR   288.4 K

<u>Solving for the number of moles of CO₂:</u>

From the ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

replacing the variables

0.93 * 0.25 = n (0.082)(288.4)

n = 0.00983 moles

<u>Number of molecules:</u>

Number of moles=  0.00983

number of molecules in 1 mole = 6.022 * 10²³

Number of molecules in 0.00983 moles = 0.00983 * 6.022 * 10²³

Number of molecules = 5.91 * 10²¹
