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.

A sample of nitrogen gas occupies 1.55 L at
34kurt

Answer:

The new volume after the temperature reduced to -100 °C is 0.894 L

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of nitrogen gas = 1.55 L

Temperature = 27.0 °C = 300 K

The temperature reduces to -100 °C = 173 K

The pressure stays constant

Step 2: Calculate the new volume

V1/T1 = V2/T2

⇒with V1 = the initial volume of the gas = 1.55 L

⇒with T1 = the initial temperature = 300 K

⇒with V2 = the new volume = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with T2 = the reduced temperature = 173 K

1.55 L / 300 K = V2 / 173 K

V2 = (1.55L /300K) * 173 K

V2 = 0.894 L

The new volume after the temperature reduced to -100 °C is 0.894 L

slavikrds [6]
The answer would be A will increase and T <span>will decrease.

The product of this reaction emits red light because it absorbs green and blue light. As the reaction occurs, the concentration of the product increase. This will makes absorbance of green and blue light increases and the solution will become redder.</span>
