Justify air is a mixture not a compound

Chemistry

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 :)

What is the answer to this ?
dybincka [34]
Answer:
D

Explanation:
Because the number of protons is the same as the atomic number, we know what the number of protons has to be 26. The mass number, 55, is the same as the number of protons plus neutrons. Lastly, because there is no charge on this atom, the number of electrons would have to be the same as the number of protons, which is 26.

Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction between ammonium
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

 (NH₄)₃PO₄ (l) + Al(NO₃)₃(l) -----------→  AlPO₄(l) + 3NH₄NO₃(l)

Explanation:

Data Give:

Reaction between ammonium phosphate solution and solution of aluminum nitrate

  • Write a balanced chemical equation
  • include phase symbols

Details:

To write a balanced chemical equation we have to know formula units of compounds or molecules

Formula units

ammonium phosphate : (NH₄)₃PO₄

aluminum nitrate: Al(NO₃)₃

ammonium nitrate: NH₄NO₃

Now to write a chemical equation

  • we have to write the chemical formulas  or formula unit of each compound
  • write the reactant on left side of the arrow
  • write the product on the right side of the arrow
  • put a plus sign in 2 reactants and products on each side of the arrow
  • balance the equation by putting coefficient with compound formula
  • write the phase symbols on the right corner of the compound formula in brackets

So the Reaction will be

                      (NH₄)₃PO₄ + Al(NO₃)₃ -----------→  AlPO₄ + NH₄NO₃

Now balance the Chemical equation

                     (NH₄)₃PO₄ + Al(NO₃)₃ -----------→  AlPO₄ + 3NH₄NO₃

Now write the phase Symbols

                     (NH₄)₃PO₄ (l) + Al(NO₃)₃(l) -----------→  AlPO₄(l) + 3NH₄NO₃(l)

all compounds in the reaction are in liquid form and soluble in water

*** Note:

There is no aluminum nitrite in chemicals formulas

Also ammonium nitrite can not be used in pure isolated form due to its highly instability
