Is plastic a mixture, compound, or an element?

Chemistry

Plastic could not be considered an element because elements are pure substances,Plastic is best described as a compound because its elements cannot be separated like the elements in a mixture can, without undergoing a chemical reaction.

An object's velocity can be described by its acceleration and direction.<br><br> True<br> False
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

An object's velocity can be described by it's direction. Because velocity is a vector. Besides velocity and acceleration are different units they can't be described by each other.

Write a balanced equation formed when the following elements react with oxygen:a)Zinc
Ainat [17]

Explanation:

a) when zinc burnt in oxygen.

2Zn + O2 -----∆-----> 2ZnO(black residue)

b) when carbon burnt in oxygen.

C+O2----∆---> CO2.

c) when sulphur burnt in oxygen.

S+O2-----∆-----> SO2.

d) when Calcium burnt in oxygen.

2Ca+O2-----∆-----> 2CaO(black residue)

e) when Magnesium burnt in oxygen.

2Mg+O2-----∆----> 2MgO.

f) when sodium burnt in oxygen.

4Na+O2----∆-----> 2Na2O.

hope all these reactions help you.

How to do q solution, qrxn, moles of Mg , and delta Hrxn?
Helga [31]

Answer:

<em> 14, 508J/K</em>

ΔHrxn =q/n

where q = heat absorbed and n = moles

Explanation:

<em>m = mass of substance (g) = 0.1184g</em>

1 mole of Mg - 24g

<em>n</em> moles - 0.1184g

<em>n = 0.0049 moles.</em>

Also, q = m × c × ΔT

<em> Heat Capacity, C of MgCl2 = 71.09 J/(mol K)</em>

<em>∴ specific heat c of MgCL2 = 71.09/0.0049 (from the formula c = C/n)</em>

<em>= 14, 508 J/K/kg</em>

ΔT=  (final - initial) temp = 38.3 - 27.2

= 11.1 °C.

mass of MgCl2 = 95.211 × 0.1184 = 11.27

⇒ q = 11.27g × 11.1 °C × <em>14, 508 j/K/kg </em>

<em>= 1,7117.7472 J °C-1 g-1</em>

<em />

<em>∴ ΔHrxn = q/n</em>

<em>=1,7117.7472  ÷ 0.1184 </em>

<em>= 14, 508J/K</em>

Suppose there are two known compounds containing the generic elements X and Y. You have a 1.00-g sample of each compound. One sa
Lapatulllka [165]

I think the correct answers are X2Y and X3Y, X2Y5 and X3Y5, and X4Y2 and X3Y, for the following reason: 

If you look at the combining masses of X and Y in each of the two compounds, 

The first compound contains 0.25g of X combined with 0.75g of Y 
so the ratio (by mass) of X to Y = 1 : 3 

The second compound contains 0.33 g of X combined with 0.67 g of Y 
so the ratio (by mass) of X to Y = 1 : 2 

Now, you suppose to prepare each of these two compounds, starting with the same fixed mass of element Y ( I will choose 12g of Y for an easy calculation!) 

The first compound will then contain 4g of X and 12g of Y 
The second compound will then contain 6g of X and 12g of Y 

<span>The ratio which combined the masses of X and the fixed mass (12g) of Y
= 4 : 6 
<span>or 2 : 3 </span>

So, the ratio of MOLES of X which combined with the fixed amount of Y in the two compounds is also = 2 : 3 </span>

The two compounds given with the plausible formula must therefore contain the same ratio.
