Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An element is defined as the substance that consists of same type of atoms. Also, it can never be broken down or divided into simpler substances.

For example, a sodium metal will contain only atoms of sodium and no other element.

Hence, elements are pure substances because they have only one type of atoms. An element can be present in solid, liquid or gaseous state.

A homogeneous mixture is defined as the mixture that contains even distribution of solute particles into the solvent.

For example, salt in water is a homogeneous mixture.

Thus, we can conclude that pure substances best describes elements.

It can be a compound or a single element. An element is a pure substance that cannot be separated into simpler substances by chemical or physical means. There are about 117 elements, but carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen are only a few that make up the largest portion of Earth.

I would say pure substances

If the fugacity of a pure component at the conditions of an ideal solution is 40 bar and its mole fraction is 0.4, what is its f

yaroslaw [1]

Answer : The fugacity in the solution is, 16 bar.

Explanation : Given,

Fugacity of a pure component = 40 bar

Mole fraction of component = 0.4

Lewis-Randall rule : It states that in an ideal solution, the fugacity of a component is directly proportional to the mole fraction of the component in the solution.

Now we have to calculate the fugacity in the solution.

Formula used :

$f_i=X_i\times f_i^o$

where,

$f_i$ = fugacity in the solution

$f_i^o$ = fugacity of a pure component

$X_1$ = mole fraction of component

Now put all the give values in the above formula, we get:

$f_i=0.4\times 40\text{ bar}$

$f_i=16\text{ bar}$

Therefore, the fugacity in the solution is, 16 bar.

The reaction A + 2B → products was found to follow the rate law: rate = k[A] 2[B]. Predict by what factor the rate of reaction w

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

By a factor of 12

Explanation:

For the reaction;

A + 2B → products

The rate law is;

rate = k[A]²[B]

As you can see, the rate is proportional to the square of the concentration of A and the of the concentration of B .

Let's say initially, [A] = x, [B] = y

The rate law in this case is equal to;

rate1 = k. x².y

Now you double the concentration of A and triple the concentration of B.

[A] = 2x, [B] = 3y

The new rate law is given as;

rate2 = k . (2x)². (3y)

rate2 = k . 4x² . 3y

rate2 = 12 k . x² . y

Comparing rate 2 and rate 1, the ratio is given as; rate 2/ rate 1 = 12

Therefore the rate has increased by a factor of 12.

Why do solids exist ?

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

A solid's particles are packed closely together. The forces between the particles are strong enough that the particles cannot move freely; they can only vibrate. As a result, a solid has a stable, definite shape and a definite volume. Solids can only change shape under force, as when broken or cut.

What is the solvent in blood?

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

Water serves to suspend the red blood cells to carry oxygen to the cells. It is the solvent for the electrolytes and nutrients needed by the cells, and also the solvent to carry waste material away from the cells. With water as the solvent, osmotic pressure acts to transport the needed water into cells.
