Answer:

A compound contains atoms of different elements chemically combined together in a fixed ratio. An element is a pure chemical substance made of same type of atom.

Answer:

compound is made up of 2 or more elements, while element is just pure element

a simple example would be that 2 is an element while 2+3 is a compound

or O(oxygen) is an element  while CO2 (carbon dioxide) is a compound

Two students are working together to build two models. Both models will represent the molecular structure of sodium bicarbonate,
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Altogether for both models; two red jellybeans, two white jellybeans, two black jellybeans and six blue jellybeans.

<em>Note: Since no specific color was stated for oxygen atoms, the answer assigns blue colored jellybeans to represent oxygen atoms.J</em>

Explanation:

Sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO₃ is a compound composed of one atom of sodium, one atom of hydrogen, one atom of carbon and three atoms of oxygen.

Since red jellybeans represent sodium atoms, white jellybeans represent hydrogen atoms, black jellybeans represent carbon atoms and blue jellybeans represent oxygen atoms, each of the two students will require the following number of each jellybean for their model of sodium carbonate: One red jellybean, one white jellybean, one black jellybean and three blue jellybeans.

Altogether for both models; two red jellybeans, two white jellybeans, two black jellybeans and six blue jellybeans.

Explain where the water that collects on the outside of a cold drink on a hot day comes from.
krok68 [10]

Answer:

It is because water molecules in the air condensed on to the container of the drink.

Explanation:

The way this works is the water molecules outside are hot and in the gas state, so when they come into contact with the cold side of the container they lose energy due to heat transfer between the molecules and the container, becoming a liquid on the side of the drink.

Which statement is true about the relationship between entropy and spontaneity? O Spontaneous reactions tend to lead to higher e
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

The true statement is: Spontaneous reactions tend to lead to higher entropy.

Explanation:

The spontaneity of a reaction is linked to the value of Gibbs free energy (ΔG°). The more negative is this value, the more spontaneous is a reaction. At the same time, Gibbs free energy depends on enthalpy (ΔH°) and entropy (ΔS°), according to the following expression:

ΔG° = ΔH° - T.ΔS°

We can see that higher entropies (higher ΔS°) lead to more negative ΔG°, thus, more spontaneous reactions.
