Always remember that a compound can be separated into simpler substances by chemical methods/reactions. While elements cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical reactions. You can do a flame test and spectrum analysis to determine whether a solid material is an element or a compound. Check the boiling and/or melting point, color or density. Also check the solid material’s reaction with oxygen, hydrogen, calcium, or various acids. Examine and study its physical chemistry. The element(s) that may be present may be identified by checking the absorption edges from an x-ray spectrum.
For instance, a solid white material (A) is heated in the absence of air, decomposing to form a new white material (B) and gas (C). Gas (C) has the same properties as the products when carbon is burned in an excess of oxygen (CO2). How can we determine whether A, B, and C are elements or compounds? A would be a compound since it was broken down into B and C. So how do we determine B and C?
A compound can be decomposed, for the reason that a compound is composed of 2 or more elements. On the contrary, an element cannot be decomposed.
Answer: A the kinetic energy is transformed into heat
Explanation:
Answer: 31.8 g
Explanation:
To calculate the moles :
According to stoichiometry :
1 mole of 
require 3 moles of 
Thus 0.59 moles of will require=
of
Thus is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and is the excess reagent as it is present in more amount than required.
As 1 mole of give = 2 moles of 
Thus 0.59 moles of give =
of
Mass of 
Thus 31.8 g of will be produced from the given masses of both reactants.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
Alcohols are organic molecules characterized majorly by the presence of the OH group in their molecule. The OH group is majorly responsible for several of their characteristics. This include the formation of hydrogen bonds between alcohol molecules. While this makes them more inorganic than most organic compounds, comparatively the hydrogen bonding formed in alcohols is not as strong as that which is present in water.
The higher strength of the hydrogen bonding is responsible for some comparable properties. While water boils at a temperature of 100 degrees Celsius, alcohol boils at a temperature of 78 degrees Celsius. This is an evidence to the fact that hydrogen bonding in alcohol is less stronger that that in water.
