Eli states that sodium phosphate is a mixture because it is composed of both sodium ions and phosphate ions.
galina1969 [7]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Eli states that sodium phosphate is a mixture because it is composed of both sodium ions and phosphate ions. Which is the best analysis of Eli’s statement? It is correct because each ion is a pure substance, so sodium phosphate is made up of two pure substances. It is correct because the composition of sodium phosphate changes depending on the sample. It is incorrect because sodium phosphate is a compound that has a single composition. It is incorrect because the two types of ions in sodium phosphate cannot be seen.

Answer:

It is incorrect because sodium phosphate is a compound that has a single composition

Explanation:

A compound is a neutral substance made up of two or more atoms which are chemically combined together.

Ionic substances are made up of ions. These ions are not separate entities, they are part of the compound.

Hence, Eli's statement is incorrect because sodium phosphate is a compound that has a single composition.

What determines if a star turns into a red giant or a red supergiant?
mixer [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

As stars age, they evolve away from the main sequence to become red giants or supergiants. The core of a red giant is contracting, but the outer layers are expanding as a result of hydrogen fusion in a shell outside the core. The star gets larger, redder, and more luminous as it expands and cools.
