Bumek [7]

Answer:

A - NaCl is a product

D - Cl2 is a gas

Explanation:

Based on the chemical reaction;

2Na(s) + Cl2(g) → 2NaCl2

  • Sodium metal reacts with chlorine gas to form sodium chloride. Sodium is in solid state, chlorine is in gaseous state and Sodium chloride is in solid state.
  • In the chemical reaction, sodium and chlorine are reactants while sodium chloride is the product.
  • Additionally the chemical reaction above is balanced so as to obey the law of conservation of mass.

Select the correct answer. What is the percent composition of silicon in silicon carbide (SiC)? A. 28% B. 50% C. 70% D. 142%
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

C. 70%

Explanation:

Atomic Mass of the silicon = 28 g.

Atomic mass of the Carbon = 12 g.

Total mass of the Silicon Carbide = 28 + 12

= 40 g.

Now, Using the formula.

% Composition = Mass of the silicon/Total mass of the compound × 100 %

= 28/40 × 100 %

= 70 %

Hence, % composition of the silicon in SiC is 70%

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

Explanation:

7) A block of wood

has a length of 10.2

cm, a width of 6 cm

and a height of 4.1

cm. The wood has

a total mass of 179

grams. What is the

volume of the

wood and what is

the density of the

wood?

volume = L XW XH=10.2 X 6 X4.1 =250.92cm^3

DENSITY = M/V = 179gm/250.92 cm^3

=0.713 gm/cm^3

Match the mixture with the substance// I really need help on this guys (it’s a pic btw)
koban [17]

Answer:

See below  

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Colloid

B) Microscopic insoluble particles that are suspended throughout another substance.

Milk is a colloid. It consists of small fat globules suspended in water.

2. Emulsion

D) Two or more liquids that are not normally mixable.

Mayonnaise is an emulsion. It consists of oil, egg yolks, vinegar, and seasonings. Normally, the oil and vinegar (95 % water) do not mix. Without the egg yolk , they would quickly separate. Egg yolk contains the emulsifier, lecithin, which is attracted to both oil and water and stabilizes he mixture.

3. Solution

A) A solute that is evenly distributed within the solvent.

Sugar syrup is a solution of sugar in water.

4)Homogeneous

C) A mixture that has its components distributed evenly within the substance.

A homogeneous mixture has only one phase. For example, the sugar syrup is homogeneous, because, even with a powerful microscope, you can't see a boundary between the sugar particles and the water.
