Because Air itself is not an element. it is made up by different elements such as Oxygen and nitrogen. since its made up of a mix of different elements, its rather a homogeneous mixture :)

Answer:

Explanation:

An element is a substance that cannot be broken down by an ordinary physical process. An element is made up of atoms having the same atomic number. There is a periodic table of elements that has all the elements arranged according to there atomic number.

Air is not an element because it actually contains atoms of more than one element (including oxygen, nitrogen and noble gases). Air also contains compounds such as CO₂. These substances that air contains are physically combined, hence air is a mixture.

The following thermochemical equation is for the reaction of sodium(s) with water(l) to form sodium hydroxide(aq) and hydrogen(g
ra1l [238]

Answer:

1) When 6.97 grams of sodium(s) react with excess water(l), 56.0 kJ of energy are evolved.

2) When 10.4 grams of carbon monoxide(g) react with excess water(l), 1.04 kJ of energy are absorbed.

Explanation:

1) The following thermochemical equation is for the reaction of sodium(s) with water(l) to form sodium hydroxide(aq) and hydrogen(g).

2 Na(s) + 2H₂O(l) ⇒ 2NaOH(aq) + H₂(g) ΔH = -369 kJ

The enthalpy of the reaction is negative, which means that 369 kJ of energy are evolved per 2 moles of sodium. The energy evolved for 6.97 g of Na (molar mass 22.98 g/mol) is:

6.97g.\frac{1mol}{22.98g} .\frac{-369kJ}{2mol} =-56.0kJ

2) The following thermochemical equation is for the reaction of carbon monoxide(g) with water(l) to form carbon dioxide(g) and hydrogen(g).

CO(g) + H₂O(l) ⇒ CO₂(g) + H₂(g)  ΔH = 2.80 kJ

The enthalpy of the reaction is positive, which means that 2.80 kJ of energy are absorbed per mole of carbon monoxide. The energy evolved for 10.4 g of CO (molar mass 28.01 g/mol) is:

10.4g.\frac{1mol}{28.01g} .\frac{2.80kJ}{mol} =1.04kJ

Perform the following mathematical operation, and report the answer to the correct number of significant figures. 0.34 x 0.568=?
slavikrds [6]

The correct answer to the problem is 0.193 which is three significant figures.

<h3>What are significant figures?</h3>

The term significant figures has to do with the figures that have a mathematical meaning. We know that the result has to correspond to the highest number of significant figures.

Hence, If we multiply 0.34 x 0.568 the result ought to be recorded as 0.193 which is three significant figures.
