Keri has to identify a mysterious brown liquid in science class. She pours it through a filter, but the substance looks the same

. Then she heats the substance and collects the water that evaporates. The water droplets look the same as the original substance. Keri concludes that since the substance cannot be separated it must be a compound. Is Keri correct?

Answer is: No, because the substance could be an element.

Pure substance is made of only one type of atom (element) or only one type of molecule, it has definite and constant composition with distinct chemical properties.

Pure substances can be separated chemically, not physically, that is difference between pure substances and mixtures.

Elements (for example copper, iron, sulfur) and compounds (water, sodium chloride) have definite and constant composition with distinct chemical properties.

The answer is NO. It can not be a compound it is an element.

In a component mixture it can be separated physically way from the other.

In element it can be only separated by a way of destroying the compound itself by chemical reaction.

Question 5 why does grinding solid crystals increase the rate of dissolving for a solid solute in water? smaller crystals are mo
My name is Ann [436]
Grinding solid crystals increase the rate of dissolving for a solid solute in water because smaller crystals have more surface area. The solubility of a substance depends on the physical and chemical properties of the solute and solvent as well as the temperature, pressure and the pH of the solution. For example increase in temperature increases the rate at which a solute dissolves in a solvent.

Write a balanced chemical equation for the standard formation reaction of liquid acetic acid hch3co2.
Afina-wow [57]

The balanced chemical equation for the standard formation reaction of liquid acetic acid is given as ,

2C(gr) +2H_{2} (g) +O_{2} (g)  → CH_{3} COOH(l)

The reaction that form the products from their elements in their standard state is called formation of reaction .The acetic acid consist C , H , and O , So, determine their standard state . Carbon is graphite at 25°C and 1 atm , whereas hydrogen and oxygen are diatomic gases . Hence , we start with unbalanced reaction.

C(gr) +H_{2} (g) +O_{2} (g) → CH_{3} COOH(l)

The balanced chemical equation for the standard formation reaction of liquid acetic acid as,

2C(gr) +2H_{2} (g) +O_{2} (g)  → CH_{3} COOH(l)

The combustion of liquid acetic acid is given as,

CH_{3} COOH(l) + 2O(g) → 2CO_{2}((g) +2H_{2} O(l)                    ΔH =-873
