7 0

The claim is that NaCl mixture is a homogeneous mixture.
Homogeneous mixture means that the components of the mixtures cannot be determined or separated by the naked eye. However, these components can be separated using physical means, such as boiling, evaporation and condensation which will be used in this experiment.

First, we need to prepare one molar solution of NaCl. To do so, we will dilute a mass of 58.44 grams (molar mass of NaCl) in 1 liter of water.
By this, we will have NaCl solution.

We can notice that once the NaCl is diluted in water, all what you can see is a clear solution. You cannot see the separate particles of NaCl in water.
..............> observation I

Now, we will heat this solution until it boils and water starts evaporating. We will place a cold surface above the steam coming out from the boiling solution.

What we will observe is that when all the water evaporates, we can see white precipitate of NaCl in the bottom of the container. Examining the cold surface placed above the steam, we can see that the water has condensed on this surface.
.........>observation II

Based on this, we managed to use boiling, evaporation and condensation (physical methods) to restore the components of the solution separately.
.............>conclusion

Based on observation I, observation II and the conclusion. we were able to prove that NaCl solution is a homogeneous mixture.

zlopas [31]

Answer is: unsaturated.
Solubility of potassium chlorate on 70°C is approximately 30 grams in 100 grams of water.
Solubility of potassium chlorate on 70°C is approximately 10 grams in 100 grams of water.
So if dissolve 15 g of potassium chlorate in 201 g of water, there is less salt than it solubility and solution is unsaturated.

Find the natural abundance of Si-30.

nataly862011 [7]

First you need to know how many isotopes there are of silicon, and its average atomic units (look at periodic table). Then make up a system of equations to solve for it. Theres 3 stable silicon isotopes (28, 29, 30) so you will need to have 3 equations. You must be given the percent abundance of at least one of the isotopes to solve because here I can only see 2 equations (numbered down below) set x = percent abundance of si-28 y = percent abundance of si-29 z = percent abundance of si-30 since all of silicon atoms account for 100% of all silicon: x + y + z = 100% = 1 therefore: 1) x = 1 - y - z You also have 2) 28x + 29y + 30z = average atomic mass you can substitute x so that equation becomes: 28 (1 - y - z) + 29y + 30z = average atomic mass See how you have 2 variables here? You cant go on until you know the value of one isotope already or you have given a clue which you can derive the third equation

Identify the mixture of powdered charcoal and powdered sugar and suggest a technique for separating their components

mihalych1998 [28]

A- Identify the mixture:
The mixture of powdered charcoal and powdered sugar is considered as a homogeneous mixture. This means that you cannot identify the components with naked eye as they are uniformly distributed in the mixture.

B- Separate components:
You ca separate the charcoal powder from the sugar powder using the following steps:
1- add water. Sugar will dissolve in water while charcoal won't.
2- filter the solution where the powdered charcoal will remain on the filter paper and the solution of powder will pass through.
3- boil the sugar solution (above 100 degrees celcius). The water will evaporate and the sugar will precipitate.

Answer:

The coefficient of Ag is 2.

Explanation:

___Ag (s) + ___H₂S (g) ⇒ ___ Ag₂S (s) + ___ H₂(g)

The Law of Conservation of Matter is also called the law of conservation of mass or the Law of Lomonósov-Lavoisier. This law postulates that "the mass is not created or destroyed, only transformed." This means that the reagents interact with each other and form new products with physical and chemical properties different from those of the reagents because the atoms of the substances are ordered differently. But the amount of matter or mass before and after a transformation (chemical reaction) is always the same, that is, the quantities of the masses involved in a given reaction must be constant at all times, not changing in their proportions when the reaction ends.

In others words, the law of conservation of matter states that since no atom can be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, the number of atoms that are present in the reagents has to be equal to the number of atoms present in the products.

Then, you must balance the chemical equation. For that, you must first look at the subscripts next to each atom to find the number of atoms in the equation. If the same atom appears in more than one molecule, you must add its amounts :

Left side: 1 Ag, 2 H and 1 S

Right side: 2 Ag, 2 H and 1 S

The coefficients located in front of each molecule indicate the amount of each molecule for the reaction. This coefficient can be modified to balance the equation, just as you should never alter the subscripts.

By multiplying the coefficient mentioned by the subscript, you get the amount of each element present in the reaction.

You can see that the elements H and S are balanced because we have the same quantity on both sides of the reaction. Then you must balance the Ag, so the reaction is:

2 Ag (s) + 1 H₂S (g) ⇒ 1 Ag₂S (s) + 1 H₂(g)

Now you have:

Left side: 2 Ag, 2 H and 1 S

Right side: 2 Ag, 2 H and 1 S

So, you have the same amount of each element to both of the reaction and this is balanced.

Then, the coefficient of Ag is 2.
