Why can physical changes separate the components of a mixture but not the components of a compound?

Several types of mixtures can be separated by physical means. Heterogeneous mixtures imply the different parts are not equally distributed, much like how on a pizza the toppings are not located in the crust. A homogeneous mixture is one where the components are equally mixed, such as orange juice or lemonade (excluding the pulp).

A common heterogeneous example is to separate oil from water by placing the mixture into a separation funnel and draining one level of liquid out. You then have the two separate components. Basically, if you can see the different layers in a mixture, you can physically remove them by either picking out the solids (either with your hands or running the mixture through filter paper) or for liquids using the funnel.

1. Pentane gas (C5H12) combusts with oxygen gas (O2) to form water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2). Write a balanced chemical equ
jeka94

Answer:

C5H12 + 8O2 → 6H2O + 5CO2

Explanation:

Pentane + Oxygen --> Water + Carbon dioxide

C5H12 + O2  --> H2O + CO2

The balanced equation is given as;

C5H12 + 8O2 → 6H2O + 5CO2

The principle is the law of conservation of matter that states that matter cannot be created nor destroyed. Hence, the reactants pretty much recombine to form the products.

The number of atoms remains conserved.

Identify which best describes the energy used to pluck guitar strings to make sound. A) electrity b) electromagnetic c) heat d)
DochEvi [55]

The capability to do work is said to be energy. It can neither be created nor be destroyed according to law of conservation of energy. Energy exist in different forms depends upon the work to be done such as potential energy, kinetic energy, mechanical energy, heat energy etc.

Now, when the guitarist plucks the guitar strings to make sound, he uses mechanical energy and when guitarist plucks the guitar strings guitar produces sound energy also.

Thus, option (d) is the correct answer.
