Answer

Depends on type of mixture. But I think separating the different sized particles through filtration would be a sufficient answer for middle school level unless they have taught you about other mixtures.

Explanation:

Hey,

There are thousands of way to separate mixtures. Each way is specific to the type of mixture. If the mixture is homogeneous processes like distillation can be employed. For heterogeneous mixture filtration can be used to separate particles of different sizes.

MoO3+Al = ??? What are the products?

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

The electronic structures of pentacene/MoO3/Al and pentacene/Al were studied using in situ photoemission spectroscopy. The secondary electron cutoffs, highest occupied molecular orbitals (HOMOs) and core level changes were measured upon deposition of the pentacene and MoO3 to study the electronic structures at the interface.

Hope it helps!

2 reasons for chemical reactivity of nitrogen

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

Due to presence of a triple bond between the two N−atoms, the bond dissociation enthalpy (941.4 kJ mol

−1

) is very high. Hence, N

is the least reactive.

If an object has two forces acting on it how can the next force equal 0

Flura [38]

If the forces are equal and in opposite directions, the net force will equal zero.

Consider a tug-of-war team. If they are pulling with equal forces against each other, the red cloth on the rope will not move.

F = ma

The cloth is not moving, so a = 0 and the net force F = 0.

Correct name for #10 please

ira [324]

Answer:

CH₃CH(CH₃)CH(C₃H₇)CH₂CH(CH₃)₂:

4-isopropyl-2-methylpentane.

Explanation:

Step One: Draw the structure formula of this compound. Parentheses in the formula indicate substitute groups that are connected to the carbon atom to the left.

For example, the first (CH₃) indicates that the second carbon atom from the left is connected to:

the CH₃- on the left-hand side,
the -CH(C₃H₇)CH₂CH(CH₃)₂ on the right-hand side,
a hydrogen atom, and
an additional CH₃- group that replaced one hydrogen atom.

Each carbon atom in this compound is connected to four other atoms. All bonds between carbon atoms are single bonds.

The C₃H₇ in the second pair of parentheses is the condensed form of CH₃CH₂CH₂-. See the first sketch attached. Groups in parentheses are highlighted.

Step Two: Find the carbon backbone. The backbone of a hydrocarbon is the longest chain of carbon atoms that runs through the compound. See the second sketch attached. The backbone of this compound consists of seven carbon atoms and is highlighted in green. The name for this backbone shall be heptane.

Step Three: Identify and name the substitute groups.

The two substitute groups are circled in blue in the second sketch.

The one on the right -CH₃ is a methyl group.
The one on the left is branched. $\begin{aligned}\text{CH}_3-&\text{CH}-\text{CH}_3\\[-0.5em]&\;|\end{aligned}$ This group can be formed by removing one hydrogen from the central carbon atom in propane. The name for this group is isopropyl.

Step Four: Number the atoms.

Isopropyl shall be placed before methyl. Start from the right end to minimize the index number on all substitute groups. The methyl group is on carbon number two and the isopropyl group on carbon number four. Hence the name:

4-isopropyl-2-methylheptane.

Which of the following processes have a ΔS < 0? Which of the following processes have a ΔS < 0? carbon dioxide(g) → carbon

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

All of the above processes have a ΔS < 0.

Explanation:

ΔS represents change in entropy of a system. Entropy refers to the degree of disorderliness of a system.

The question requests us to identify the process that has a negative change of entropy.

carbon dioxide(g) → carbon dioxide(s)

There is a change in state from gas to solid. Solid particles are more ordered than gas particles so this is a negative change in entropy.

water freezes

There is a change in state from liquid to solid. Solid particles are more ordered than liquid particles so this is a negative change in entropy.

propanol (g, at 555 K) → propanol (g, at 400 K)

Temperature is directly proportional to entropy, this means higher temperature leads t higher entropy.

This reaction highlights a drop in temperature which means a negative change in entropy.

methyl alcohol condenses

Condensation is the change in state from gas to liquid. Liquid particles are more ordered than gas particles so this is a negative change in entropy.
