D.
im not completely sure but i did the process of elimination. it’s not B because an element is one type of atom. it’s not A because both elements and compounds are pure substances. and it’s not C because it’s not in mixed composition

Rust is formed by the interaction of iron and oxygen. When rust formed on an iron nail with a mass of 100 g, the mass of the rus

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer: The correct option is A.

Explanation: Moles of Iron nail can be calculated by using the formula:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ ...(1)

Given mass of iron nail = 100 g

Molar mass of iron = 56 g/mol

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{100g}{56g/mol}$

Number of moles of iron nail = 1.79 moles

The chemical equation for the formation of rust if given by:

$4Fe(s)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3(s)$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction,

4 moles of iron reacts with 3 moles of oxygen gas to produce 2 moles of rust.

So, 1.79 moles of iron will react with = $\frac{3}{4}\times 1.79$ = 1.3425 moles of oxygen gas.

For oxygen gas,

Molar mass = 32 g/mol

Mass of oxygen can be calculated by using equation 1, we get

$1.3425mol=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{32g/mol}$

Mass of oxygen gas = 43 grams

Hence, the correct option is a.

It is common to mix polar solvents (e.g., acetone) with non-polar solvents (e.g., hexane) to obtain an eluting solvent of interm

hammer [34]

Answer:

No, it is not appropriate to mix water and DMSO

Explanation:

We have to realize that DMSO is a highly polar solvent and water is a highly polar solvent. The question explicitly says that our target is to produce a solvent of<u><em> intermediate polarity</em></u>.

We can only do this by mixing a polar and a nonpolar solvent. We have been given the example of the mixture of acetone/hexane which is quite a perfect mixture.

Thus, it is inappropriate to mix DMSO and water.

Thermal energy added to a substance that is not changing state causes the substance’s temperature to

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

increase

Explanation:

Conduction involves the transfer of electric charge or thermal energy due to the movement of particles. When the conduction relates to electric charge, it is known as electrical conduction while when it relates to thermal energy, it is known as heat conduction. Conductors include metal, steel, aluminum, copper, frying pan, pot, spoon etc.

In the process of heat conduction, thermal energy is usually transferred from fast moving particles to slow moving particles during the collision of these particles. Also, thermal energy is typically transferred between objects that has different degrees of temperature and materials (particles) that are directly in contact with each other but differ in their ability to accept or give up electrons.

Hence, thermal energy added to a substance that is not changing state causes the substance’s temperature to increase because it would absorb energy in the form of heat.
