Answer:

  • <em>The substance that cannot be broken down by a chemical change is </em><u>tungsten (option C)</u>

Explanation:

Chemical compounds are pure <em>substances</em> constituted by two or more different elements. They have fixed composition and have their unique chemical properties, different from their individual components (elements) and from other compounds.

Thus chemical compounds can<em> be broken down by a chemical change</em> into their individual atoms or other simpler compounds.

The substances indicated by the choices <em>A) methane, B) propanal, and D) water</em>, are chemical compounds with chemical formulae CH₄, C₃H₆O, and H₂O, respectively, so they<em> can be broken down into their consitutents by a chemical change</em>.

On the other hand, <em>tungsten</em> is one of the 118 known elements. Its atomic number is 74, and its chemical symbol is W.

Then, being tungsten an element, which means that all the atoms present in a pure sample have the same number of protons and electrons, it <em>cannot be broken down by a chemical change</em>. The only way to split an atom of tungsten is by a nuclear reaction.

Answer:

\huge \boxed{\mathrm{C) \ Tungsten}}

Explanation:

Tungsten cannot be broken by any physical or chemical methods, because it is an element. It has properties of an element not a compound nor mixture.

Tungsten is an element in the periodic table with an atomic number of 74, symbol W, and atomic mass of 183.84 u.

Tungsten is also a rare metal and is the strongest known metal on Earth. Tungsten can be used to make bullets and missiles.

Suppose of nickel(II) chloride is dissolved in of a aqueous solution of potassium carbonate. Calculate the final molarity of chl
stich3 [128]

Answer: Molarity of chloride anion = 0.32 M

<em>Note: the question is missing some values. The full question is given below;</em>

<em>Suppose 7.26 g of nickel(II) chloride is dissolved in 350 mL of a 0.50 M aqueous solution of potassium carbonate. Calculate the final molarity of chloride anion in the solution. You can assume the volume of the solution doesn't change when the nickel(II) chloride is dissolved in it. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.</em>

Explanation:

Molarity or molar concentration is the number of moles (mol) of component per volume (liters) concentration of solution in mol/L or M

The mass of nickel (II) chloride is 7.26 g.

The volume of potassium carbonate is 350 mL = 0.35 L

The molarity of potassium carbonate solution is 0.50 M

The reaction of nickel (II) chloride and potassium carbonate is given below.

NiCl₂(aq) + KCO₃(aq) --------> KCl(aq) +NiCO₃(s)

The dissociation of nickel (II) chloride is given below.

NiCl₂   -----> Ni²⁺ + 2Cl⁻

The molar mass of nickel (II) chloride is  129.6 g/mol

The moles of nickel (II) chloride can be calculated by the formula given below;

No of moles  = mass(g) / molar mass (g/mol)

No of moles = 7.26 / 129.6 = 0.056 moles

Therefore, molarity of NiCl₂ = 0.056 moles/ 0.35 L = 0.16 M

The molarity of 1 mole nickel (ii) chloride is 0.16 m and according to dissociation of nickel (II) chloride, 1 mole of nickel (II) chloride gives 2 moles of chloride anion.

Therefore, the molarity of chloride anion = 0.16 * 2 = 0.32 M

Which spheres are part of the earth system
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Everything in Earth's system can be placed into one of four major subsystems: land, water, living things, or air. These four subsystems are called "spheres." Specifically, they are the "lithosphere" (land), "hydrosphere" (water), "biosphere" (living things), and "atmosphere" (air).
