Answer:

B There are two grams of hydrogen for each gram of carbon in this compound.

Explanation:

The second option is a wrong interpretation of this chemical representation of formaldehyde.

Formaldehyde is an organic compound with the formula CH₂O.

As this is the simplest formula of the compound, it is the empirical formula. Also, the formula is the actual one for the compound and it is the molecular formula.

Chemically, the formula shows 1 mole of carbon, 2 moles of H and 1 mole of oxygen in the compound.

  • A mole of a substance is more a less a unit of measurement in chemistry and it is the amount of substance that contains the avogadro's number of particles.

This ratio is not the mass of chemical species in the compound. You cannot tell the mass of elements in a compound by merely looking at the formula.

Identify each of the following mixtures as either homogeneous or heterogeneous and as a solution, a suspension, or a colloid.
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Blood.

<span>Blood is heterogeneous because it has corpuscles (blood cells and platelets) physically suspended in blood plasma.   Blood plasma and the corpuscles have different properties and can be separated by methods such as centrifugation. Also, blood is considered a colloid suspension because it has the properties of both a colloid and a suspension. This is because the blood plasma acts as a colloid. More so, if blood was left to settle,then the blood cells would collect at the bottom hence taking the characteristic of a suspension. </span>

<span>Salad dressing.</span>

<span>Depending on the type of salad, it can either be a heterogeneous or homogeneous mixture. If the salad dressing is only of vinegar or any other oil, then it is a homogenous mixture. However, if it involves a mixture of vinegar and other oils, pepper, herbs, and etcetera, then it is a heterogeneous mixture</span>
