It is a mixture

Explanation:

Food coloring is able to separate into different dyes because it just a simple mixture of different color pigments.

Under a chromatogram the different colors will migrate relatively over an absorbent.

A mixture is an impure substance with the following properties:

composition is indefinite as they are made up of two or more elements or compounds in any proportion by mass.
They are able to retain their identities i.e physical properties are maintained.
Their constituents reacts differently to changed conditions.
They can easily be separated into constituent by physical methods.

Based on the information, what is the balanced chemical equation representing the burning of butane?

kompoz [17]

Answer:

OptionA. 2C4H10 + 13O2 —> 8CO2 + 10H20

Explanation:

Butane burns is air (O2) according to the equation:

C4H10 + O2 —> CO2 + H20

Considering the equation, it is evident that it not balanced. Now let us balance the equation as shown below;

There are a total of 4 carbon atoms on the left and 1 carbon atom on the right. It can be balanced by putting 4 in front of CO2 as shown below:

C4H10 + O2 —> 4CO2 + H20

Next, there are 10 hydrogen atoms on the left and 2 hydrogen atoms on the right. Therefore to balance it, put 5 in front of H2O as shown below:

C4H10 + O2 —> 4CO2 + 5H20

Now, there are a total of 13 oxygen atoms on the right and 2 at the left. To balance it, put 13/2 in front of O2

as shown below

C4H10 + 13/2O2 —> 4CO2 + 5H20

Now we multiply through by 2 clear off the fraction and we obtained:

2C4H10 + 13O2 —> 8CO2 + 10H20

You are given a solid that is a mixture of Na2SO4 and K2SO4. A 0.205-g sample of the mixture is dissolved in water. An excess of

Svetach [21]

Answer:

Mass of SO₄⁻² = 0.123 g.

Mass percentage of SO₄⁻² = 41.2%

Mass of Na₂SO₄ = 0.0773 g

Mass of K₂SO₄ = 0.1277 g

Explanation:

Here we have

We place Na₂SO₄ = X and

K₂SO₄ = Y

Therefore

X +Y = 0.205 .........(1)

Therefore since the BaSO₄ is formed from BaCl₂, Na₂SO₄ and K₂SO₄ we have

Amount of BaSO₄ from Na₂SO₄ is therefore;

$X\times\frac{Molar \, Mass \, of \, BaSO_4}{Molar \, Mass \, of \, Na_2SO_4}$

Amount of BaSO₄ from K₂SO₄ is;

$Y\times\frac{Molar \, Mass \, of \, BaSO_4}{Molar \, Mass \, of \, K_2SO_4}$

Molar mass of

BaSO₄ = 233.38 g/mol

Na₂SO₄ = 142.04 g/mol

K₂SO₄ = 174.259 g/mol

$X\times\frac{Molar \, Mass \, of \, BaSO_4}{Molar \, Mass \, of \, Na_2SO_4}$ = $X\times\frac{233.38 }{142.04}$ = 1.643·X

$Y\times\frac{Molar \, Mass \, of \, BaSO_4}{Molar \, Mass \, of \, K_2SO_4}$ = $Y\times\frac{233.38 }{174.259 }$ = 1.339·Y

Therefore, we have

1.643·X + 1.339·Y = 0.298 g.....(2)

Solving equations (1) and (2) gives

The mass of SO₄⁻² in the sample is given by

Mass of sample = 0.298

Molar mass of BaSO₄ = 233.38 g/mol

Mass of Ba = 137.327 g/mol

∴ Mass of SO₄ = 233.38 g - 137.327 g = 96.05 g

Mass fraction of SO₄⁻² in BaSO₄ = 96.05 g/233.38 g = 0.412

Mass of SO₄⁻² in the sample is 0.412×0.298 = 0.123 g.

Percentage mass of SO₄⁻² = 41.2%

Solving equations (1) and (2) gives

X = 0.0773 g and Y = 0.1277 g.
