Why is air called a homogeneous mixture?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Goryan [66]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Air is called a homogeneous mixture because all of the elements that make up air (oxygen, nitrogen, argon, carbon dioxide etc.) are not able to be distinguished between when you look at air.

Explanation:

A heterogeneous mixture would be something like trail mix. You can look at the bowl of trail mix and pick out the raisins from the nuts from the chocolate. A homogeneous mixture is something where the individual elements can't be picked out by the plain eye. When you look at air you can't say oh that part is oxygen and that is argon when you are going on a walk. Air is a solution and thus you can't pick out each part.

What is the biological advantage (in kj per mole of energy released as heat) of complete aerobic oxidation compared with anaerob
Elan Coil [88]

Aerobic respiration is the reaction of the compound or reactant in presence of oxygen whereas anaerobic respiration indicates the non availability of oxygen.

Aerobic respiration, responsible for the production of ATP slowly. It helps in breaking glucose molecule to CO_2, and result in production of 38 ATP.  

Whereas, anaerobic respiration break glucose molecule into two molecule of pyruvate. Glycolysis  only releases two ATP per glucose. The anaerobic process occurs rapidly such as it lets the tissues and muscles to receive the energy for short durational activity.



This increase in production of energy explains the reason for domination of aerobic organisms on earth which helps in organisms to grow in size with multicellular system and great diversity

A voltaic cell has a zinc anode and a copper cathode. They are connected by a wire but no salt bridge. What can you predict will
Allisa [31]

The prediction is that B. The electrons will flow to the zinc anode where a negative charge will build up and eventually halt the reaction.

<h3>What is zinc?</h3>

This is known as a chemical element, of the periodic table, that is essential to life and is one of the most widely used metals. Zinc is of considerable commercial importance.

Without the salt bridge, positive and negative charges will build up around the electrodes causing the reaction to stop.

Hence, we know that the purpose of the salt bridge is to keep the solutions electrically neutral and allow the free flow of ions from one cell to another.

Name two traits of pseudoscience
lions [1.4K]
Pseudoscience refers to belief, theories and practices that claims to be scientific but which have no basis in scientific facts.
Pseudoscience has many traits two of which are:
1. It is based on dogma and uncritical belief. Counter evidence might draw hostility from pseudo scientists.
2. There is usually suppression or distortion of data. Pseudo scientists typically perform selective data gathering, in which they only gather and consider favorable data that support their claims. <span />

Which metal does not form cations of differing charges?
valkas [14]

Transition metals

Most transition metals differ from the metals of Groups 1, 2, and 13 in that they are capable of forming more than one cation with different ionic charges. As an example, iron commonly forms two different ions
