During an experiment, it is observed that iron powder sinks in water and sulfur powder floats in water. What will most likely be

observed when sulfur powder and iron powder are mixed together and then added to water?
Sulfur will float and iron will sink because each will retain its properties.
Iron will float and sulfur will sink because each will lose its properties.
Both will float because they are physically mixed.
Both will float because they react chemically.

someone pls help me, i literally don't understand chem

Sulfur will float, and iron will sink because each will retain its properties.

“Iron will float, and sulfur will sink because each will lose its properties” is <em>incorrect</em>. A substance will lose its properties only if it reacts to form a new substance.

“Both will float because they are physically mixed” is <em>incorrect</em>. The substances in a mixture retain their properties.

“Both will float because they react chemically” is <em>incorrect</em>. Iron and sulfur do not react at room temperature. Even if they did, the iron sulfide would sink.

Answer:

Sulfur will float and iron will sink because each will retain its properties.

Explanation:

This is the correct answer because sulfur powder and iron powder are two different things, with different properties. Even if they are added to water and mixed around, they still retain their properties since no actual chemical activity was performed on them (they were just mixed by physical means). Hence, the sulfur will float back up, as it does initially, and the iron will sink, as it had initially.

Tema [17]

Answer:

Exposure of silver chloride to sunlight for a long duration turns grey due to​ photolytic decomposition i.e decomposition in the presence of sunlight.

Explanation:

When silver chloride, AgCl is exposed to sunlight for a long time, it will undergo decomposition as the sunlight provides sufficient energy needed to decomposed the salt, AgCl to metallic silver and chlorine gas. This can be seen in the equation below:

2AgCl —> 2Ag + Cl2

Which pair consists of a molecular formula and its corresponding empirical formula?
MissTica
<span>3) P4O10 and P2O5
The mass of the P4O10 divided by the mass of the P2O5=2, and if you multiply the number of atoms in the P2O5 by 2, you get the P4O10, thus P2O5 is its empirical formula.</span>
