Seawater is composed of salt, sand, and water. is seawater a heterogeneous or homogeneous mixture? explain

1 answer:

4 0

A mixture is said to be homogeneous if its composition is uniform throughout the mixture. They are referred to as solutions. On the other hand, heterogeneous mixture does not have uniform composition. The substances present in the mixture have visible difference or phases.

Sea water is composed of salt, sand and water. Here, salt and water form homogeneous mixture but due to the presence of sand, the mixture is heterogeneous. Salt dissolves in water and the solution has uniform composition but sand does not dissolve in water, even after vigorous mixing, after some time it settles at the bottom resulting formation of layers. Thus, sea water containing salt, water and sand is a heterogeneous mixture.

I am a nonmetal.I am in the Oxygen family and in row 3.I have 6 valence electrons.I am yellow and have a stinky smell.Who am i

Dimas [21]

Answer:

sulfur

Explanation:

In oxygen family sulfur has yellow color and also having stinky smell. Thus given statements are about sulfur.

It is present in oxygen family.

It has six valance electrons.

Its atomic number is 16.

Its atomic weight is 32 amu.

The electronic configuration of sulfur is given below,

S₁₆ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁴

We can see the valance shell is third shell and it have six electrons thus sulfur have six valance electrons. (3s² 3p⁴ )

Sulfur is used in vulcanisation process.

It is used in bleach and also as a preservative for many food.

it is used to making gun powder.

Calculate the mass in micrograms of zinc oxalate the chemist has added to the flask. be sure your answer has the correct number

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

<span>A chemist adds 155.0ml of a 4.10 X 10^-5 mmol/L of a zinc oxalate (ZnC2O4)solution to a reaction flask. Calculate the mass in micrograms of zinc oxalate the chemist has added to the flask. 1mmol = 10^-3 mol Therefore 4.10*10^-5mmol = 4.10*10^-8mol molar mass ZnC2O4 = 65.39+(2*12.011)+(4*15.99) = 153.372g/mol You have 4.10*10^-8 mol/litre =153.372 * 4.10*10^-8 = 6.29*10^-6 grams / litre (* see below) But you have 155ml. Mass of ZnC2O4 = 155/1000*6.29*10^-6 g Mass is = 9.75*10^-7 grams 1Âµg = 10^-6 g You then have 9.75*10^-7/10^-6 = 0.975Âµg ZnC2O4 (*see below) at this point you could have said: 1Âµg = 10^-6 g therefore you have a solution of 6.29Âµg per litre, 155ml = 6.29*155/1000 = 0.975Âµg ZnC2O4</span>

An exponent of "2" means that if we double the concentration of the reactant the rate doubles as well Exponents in rate laws are

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

- False.

- True.

Explanation:

Hello, for each statement we state:

- An exponent of "2" means that if we double the concentration of the reactant the rate doubles as well.

FALSE because considering a rate law like:

$-r=kC^2$

The exponent of "2" powers the concentration to the second power, not doubles the rate law, thus, if C is 3, for k=1, r will be -9. On the other hand if the rate is like:

$-r=kC$

The rate will be -3, that is why the rate is not doubled when the "2" in concentration is present.

- Exponents in rate laws are based on the coefficients from the balanced equation.

FALSE because for nonelemental chemical reactions, the exponents do not match with each species' stoichiometric coefficients in the rate law.

- The rate constant, k, takes into account the effect of activation energy and temperature on the reaction.

TRUE, since the Arrhenius equation allows us to prove the effect of the activation energy and the temperature:

$k=Aexp(-\frac{Ea}{RT})$

- Differential rate laws allow us to compare concentration and time.

TRUE as they are given like:

$\frac{1}{\nu _A} \frac{dC_A}{dt} =\frac{1}{\nu _B} \frac{dC_B}{dt} =...$

Best regards.

Two 10g blocks, one of copper and one of iron, were heated from 300 K to 400K (a temperature difference of 100 K).

12345 [234]

1) 385 J

2) 450 J

Explanation:

The amount of energy that must be absorbed by a certain substance in order to increase its temperature by $\Delta T$ is given by the equation:

$Q=mC\Delta T$

where

m is the mass of the substance

C is its specific heat capacity

$\Delta T$ is the increase in temperature of the substance

For the block of copper in this problem, we have:

m = 10 g is the mass

$C=0.385 J/gK$ is the specific heat capacity of copper

$\Delta T=400-300 = 100 K$ is the change in temperature

So, the energy absorbed by the block of copper is

$Q=(10)(0.385)(100)=385 J$

Similarly for the block of iron, the energy absorbed by the iron is given by

$Q=mC\Delta T$

where

m is the mass of the block of iron

C is its specific heat capacity of iron

$\Delta T$ is the increase in temperature of the block

Here we have:

m = 10 g is the mass of the block

$C=0.450 J/gK$ is the specific heat capacity of iron

$\Delta T=400-300 = 100 K$ is the change in temperature

So, the energy absorbed by the block of iron is

$Q=(10)(0.450)(100)=450 J$

What is a stored energy

professor190 [17]

Energy storage is the capture of energy produced at one time for use at a later time. A device that stores energy is generally called an accumulator or battery.
