\boxed{{\text{Soil}}} is a heterogeneous mixture.

Further Explanation:

Mixtures are composed of two or more substances. No fixed formula is present in these and their composition is also variable. There is retention in the properties of constituent particles even after the formation of mixtures. Some examples of mixtures are smog, mud, sea water and blood.

Types of mixtures:

1. Homogeneous mixtures

“Homo” refers to the “same Homogeneous mixtures are the mixtures that have uniform composition throughout. Such mixtures are present in single phase only. Rain, vinegar and orange juice are examples of a homogenous mixture.

2. Heterogeneous mixtures

Hetero” means “different”. Heterogeneous mixtures are the mixtures that have non-uniform composition throughout. These have more than one phase. Chocolate chip cookies and soda are examples of heterogeneous mixture.

Air is made up of several gases in different amounts. But all of the constituent particles of air are gases so it is a homogeneous mixture.

Salt gets completely dissolved in water and salt water exists in a single phase only. Therefore salt water is a homogeneous mixture.

Steel is an alloy of different metallic components and these components are uniformly distributed throughout the sample of steel. Therefore it is a homogeneous mixture.

Soil consists of a variety of particles such as sand, organic matter, water, pebbles, minerals, and air. All these components have non-uniform composition throughout the whole sample of soil. Therefore it is a heterogeneous mixture.

Answer: Heterogenous mixtures are the ones in which we can see the different components clearly. Air is considered to be homogenous, because we don't see the different noble gases' particles floating around. Salt water is also homogenous, because salt dissolves almost completely into water, becoming hard to see without the proper equipment salt particles in it. Steel is also homogenous, since the metals that compose it are mixed during the heating. The only heterogenous would be soil, because we can see different particles in it, with different sizes, shapes, colors, etc without having to use special equipment.

A 25.0 mL sample of a saturated C a ( O H ) 2 solution is titrated with 0.029 M H C l , and the equivalence point is reached aft
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

0.043 M

Explanation:

The reaction that takes place is:

  • Ca(OH)₂ + 2HCl → CaCl₂ + 2H₂O

First we <u>calculate how many HCl moles reacted</u>, using the <em>given concentration and volume required to reach the equivalence point</em>:

  • 0.029 M HCl * 37.3 mL = 1.0817 mmol HCl = 1.0817 mmol H⁺

As 1 mol of H⁺ reacts with 1 mol of OH⁻, in the 25.0 mL of the Ca(OH)₂ sample there are 1.0817 mmoles of OH⁻.

With that in mind we can <u>calculate the hydroxide ion concentration in the original sample solution</u>, using <em>the calculated number of moles and given volume</em>:

  • 1.0817 mmol OH⁻ / 25.0 mL = 0.043 M

Consider the reaction below. If you start with 4.00 moles of C3H8 (propane) and 4.00 moles of O2 , how many moles of propane wou
fgiga [73]

Answer:

0.800 mol

Explanation:

We have the amounts of two reactants, so this is a limiting reactant problem.  

We know that we will need a balanced equation with moles of the compounds involved.  

Step 1. <em>Gather all the information</em> in one place.

            C₃H₈ + 5O₂ ⟶ 3CO₂ + 4H₂O

n/mol:  4.00    4.00

===============

Step 2. Identify the <em>limiting reactant </em>

Calculate the <em>moles of CO₂</em> we can obtain from each reactant.  

<em>From C₃H₈:</em>

The molar ratio of CO₂: C₃H₈ is 3:1

Moles of CO₂ = 4.00 × 3/1

Moles of CO₂ = 12.0 mol CO₂

<em>From O₂</em>:

The molar ratio of CO₂: O₂ is 3:5.

Moles of CO₂ = 4.00 × ⅗

Moles of CO₂ = 2.40 mol CO₂

O₂ is the limiting reactant because it gives the smaller amount of CO₂.

==============

Step 3. Calculate the <em>moles of C₃H₈ consumed</em>.

The molar ratio of C₃H₈:O₂ is 1:5.

Moles of C₃H₈ = 4.00 × ⅕

Moles of C₃H₈ = 0.800 mol C₃H₈

14) A wavelength of radiation has a frequency of 2.10 x 1014 Hz. What is the wavelength of this radiation in nm, and
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

λ = 1.43 x 10³ meters (radio waves)

Explanation:

c = f·λ => λ = c/f

λ = wavelength = ?

f = frequency = 2.10 x 10¹⁴ Hz = 2.10 x 10¹⁴ cycles/sec

c = speed of light (vacuum) = 3.0 x 10⁸m/sec

λ = c/f = 3.0 x 10⁸m/sec / 2.10 x 10¹⁴sec⁻¹ = 1.43 x 10³ meters (radio waves)

lara [203]

Answer:

Option B. 6 atoms of carbon

Explanation:

In <u><em>any chemical reaction</em></u>, atoms from reactant side and product side must be the same.

This is photosynthesis reaction:
