Why is air called a homogeneous mixture?

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 ionic form of this unbalanced equation? mno2 + hno2 → mn(no3)2 + h2o?

KATRIN_1 [288]

The ionic form of the unbalanced equation

MnO2 +HNO2 = Mn(NO3)2 +H2O is as below

MnO2(s) + H^+(aq) + NO2^-(aq) = Mn^2+(aq) + No3^-(aq) + H20(l)

MnO2 does not dissociate since it is in solid state. In addition H2O is in liquid state thus does not dissociate in to ions

What is the universal gas law?

Elan Coil [88]

The ideal gas law is the equation of state of a hypothetical ideal gas. It is a good approximation to the behavior of many gases under many conditions, although it has several limitations. It was first stated by Émile Clapeyron in 1834 as a combination of Boyle's law, Charles' law and Avogadro'sLaw.

Which of the solutions have greatest osmotic pressure 30% sucrose 60% sucrose or 30% magnesium sulfate?

timofeeve [1]

Answer:Osmotic pressure is the minimum amount of pressure a solution must exert in order to prevent from crossing a barrier by osmosis. Solute molecules have difficulty crossing semipermeable membranes, so the more solutes that are in a solution, the higher the osmotic pressure will be. Between 30% sucrose and 60% sucrose, 60% sucrose will have a greater osmotic pressure than 30% because it has a higher percentage of solutes. However, since sucrose has a higher potential to cross semipermeable membranes and is more absorbable than magnesium sulfate, magnesium sulfate would have a higher osmotic pressure than 60% sucrose even though 60% sucrose has higher molecules.

Write the net cell equation for this electrochemical cell. Phases are optional. Do not include the concentrations. Co ( s ) ∣ ∣

Tatiana [17]

Answer: The overall equation will be $Co(s)+2Ag^+(aq)\rightarrow Co^{2+}(aq)+Ag(s)$

Explanation:

The representation is given by writing the anode on left hand side followed by its ion with its molar concentration. It is followed by a salt bridge. Then the cathodic ion with its molar concentration is written and then the cathode.

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. The oxidation state of the substance increases.

Anode : $Co(s)\rightarrow Co^{2+}(aq)+2e^{-}$

Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. The oxidation state of the substance gets reduced.

Cathode : $Ag^+(aq)+e^{-1}\rightarrow Ag(s)$ $\times 2$

The number of electrons lost must be equal to the number of electrons gained , thus overall equation will be :

$Co(s)+2Ag^+(aq)\rightarrow Co^{2+}(aq)+Ag(s)$
