Explanation:

Difference between the two:

Atoms are defined as the smallest particle of a chemical element that exists. They are made up of protons, electrons and neutrons. Elements have similar kind of atoms present in them while compounds have different type of elements present in them.

Molecules are formed when two or more atoms of similar or different kinds bond together. For Example: $H_2O,N_2$ etc...

Similarity between the two:

A pure substance is defined as the substance which is formed by same or different type of atoms which are chemically combined in a fixed ratio by mass. Atoms and molecules are considered as pure substances.

Which of the four substances listed will dissolve in water and why?

Orlov [11]

Answer:

Sugar, sodium chloride, and hydrophilic proteins are all substances that dissolve in water. Oils, fats, and certain organic solvents do not dissolve in water because they are hydrophobic.

And, water is called the "universal solvent" because it dissolves more substances than any other liquid. ... Water molecules have a polar arrangement of the oxygen and hydrogen atoms—one side (hydrogen) has a positive electrical charge and the other side (oxygen) had a negative charge.

I don't see any options so there i hope it helps .

Which three statements about gravity and the formation of the solar system

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

B. Gravity held the pieces of forming planets together.

c. Gravity pulled most of the matter into the center of the solar system

D. Gravity caused the planets and Sun to have spherical shapes.

Explanation:

When a collection of grains pulled together by their gravitational forces would keep in by the gravity of a star, it would eventually became bigger to the point a planet was formed.

The sun's strong gravitational force pulled most of the matter around it to the center of the solar system.

The spherical shape of planets is a result of their gravity pulling equally from all sides, shaping it into a sphere.

Consider the balanced equation for the following reaction:

Bad White [126]

Answer: The theoretical yield of the lithium chlorate is 1054.67 grams

Explanation:

To calculate the mass for given number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Actual moles of lithium chlorate = 9.45 moles

Molar mass of lithium chlorate = 90.4 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$9.45mol=\frac{\text{Actual yield of lithium chlorate}}{90.4g/mol}\\\\\text{Actual yield of lithium chlorate}=(9.45mol\times 90.4g/mol)=854.28g$

To calculate the theoretical yield of lithium chlorate, we use the equation:

$\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Actual yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

Actual yield of lithium chlorate = 854.28 g

Percentage yield of lithium chlorate = 81.0 %

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$81=\frac{854.28g}{\text{Theoretical yield of lithium chlorate}}\times 100\\\\\text{Theoretical yield of lithium chlorate}=\frac{854.28\times 100}{81}=1054.67g$

Hence, the theoretical yield of the lithium chlorate is 1054.67 grams
