First we have to understand their definitions.

Mixture: a substance made by mixing other substances together physically.

Compound: made up or consisting of several parts or elements chemically.

Now that we understand their definitions we can justify and clarify that air is a mixture.

<span>The air is composed of many non-reactive gases such as nitrogen, hydrogen, methane, water vapor, carbon dioxide, etc. It can not be classified as a compound because compound means; several things (elements) compose a whole but chemically, and this previously mentioned gases are attached physically, not chemically.</span>

A compound has to be chemically bonded, however, air is not chemically bonded.
This can be proven by freezing air. By freezing air, it yields different liquids at different temperature. Liquid nitrogen has a different boiling point than liquid oxygen.
If air was a compound, they would all have a single boiling point and a single freezing point.


Hope this helps :)

Consider the following enthalpy diagram and enthalpies of intermediate and overall chemical reactions.
SashulF [63]

Answer: The overall chemical reaction is exothermic is the correct statement.

Explanation: As seen from the given image, the reactants are at higher energy level and products are at lower energy level and the excess energy is released in the form of heat. These reactions are considered as exothermic reactions.

Hence, the reaction given in the image is an exothermic reaction.

Ion Concentration 1. Which solution has the greatest [SO42-]: a) 0.075 M H2SO4 b) 0.15 M Na2SO4 c) 0.080 M Al2(SO4)3?
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

c) 0.080 M Al₂(SO₄)₃

Explanation:

Ion [SO₄²⁻] concentration of each solution is:

a) 0.075 M H₂SO₄: <em>[SO₄²⁻] = 0.075M</em>. Because 1 mole of H₂SO₄ contains 1 mole of SO₄²⁻

b) 0.15 M Na₂SO₄: <em>[SO₄²⁻] = 0.15M</em>. Also, 1 mole of Na₂SO₄ contains 1 mole of SO₄²⁻

c) 0.080 M Al₂(SO₄)₃ [SO₄²⁻] = 0.080Mₓ3 =<em> 0.240M</em>. Because 1 mole of Al₂(SO₄)₃ contains 3 moles of SO₄²⁻.

<h3>Thus, the soluion that has the greatest [SO₄²⁻] is 0.080 M Al₂(SO₄)₃</h3>

A piston confines 0.200 mol Ne(g) in 1.20 at 25 degree C. Two experiments are performed. (a) The gas is allowed to expand throug
djyliett [7]

Answer:

The second experiment (reversible path) does more work

Explanation:

Step 1:

A piston confines 0.200 mol Ne(g) in 1.20L at 25 degree °C

<em>(a) The gas is allowed to expand through an additional 1.20 L against a constant of 1.00atm</em>

<em></em>

Irreversible path: w =-Pex*ΔV

⇒ with Pex = 1.00 atm

⇒ with ΔV = 1.20 L

W = -(1.00 atm) * 1.20 L

W = -1.20L*atm *101.325 J /1 L*atm = -121.59 J

<em>(b) The gas is allowed to expand reversibly and isothermally to the same final volume.</em>

<em></em>

W = -nRTln(Vfinal/Vinitial)

⇒ with n = the number of moles = 0.200

⇒ with R = gas constant = 8.3145 J/K*mol

⇒ with T = 298 Kelvin

⇒ with Vfinal/Vinitial  = 2.40/1.20 = 2

W = -(0.200mol) * 8.3145 J/K*mol *298K *ln(2.4/1.2)

W = -343.5 J

The second experiment (reversible path) does more work

I need help with this one pls, ty! ASAP
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. A measure of how quickly velocity is changing is the acceleration

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time. The rate at which a body is changing its velocity is known as the acceleration.

It is measured in the unit m/s²

2. Speed in a given direction is the velocity

Velocity is a vector quantity which measures the magnitude of motion in a specific direction. It is simply speed in a given direction.

When we say a motorcycle travels at the rate of 5m/s due east, we are describing the velocity of such body.

3. Force that resists moving one object against another is the friction

Friction is a force that opposes motion. It prevents a body from moving.

4. Measure of the pull of gravity on an object Weight

Weight is a measure of the amount of gravitational force on a body. It is mathematically expressed as;

         W = mg

W is the weight, m is the mass and g is the acceleration due to gravity

5 Tendency of an object to resist a change in motion is inertia

Inertia is the tendency of body to resist change in motion. It is the ability of a body to remain in a perpetual state of rest.

6 Size is the magnitude
