The difference between a substance and a mixture is that a substance is one of a kind, a material of the same composition throughout, on the contrary, a mixture is one or more different substances brought together and mixed together without changing the nature of each single substance.
One way to test it is to take two substances like sand and table salt. They should each be in granular form and in adequate amount to mix. Neither substance has changed after mixing the two. Even though it may not be easy or convenient to accomplish, each substance could be separated out from the mixture.
When it comes to two substances in lump form, it would not be a mixture when one lump is positioned next to the other lump because there are not enough pieces to combine.
However, there could be a mixture of three substances, like sand, table salt and graphite powder and there could be a mixture with four substances, etc., ad infinitum.
Mixtures are of solid substances in general. On the other hand, one starts referring to solutions when liquids are involved. Gases can be a mixture like for example, air is a mixture with nitrogen, oxygen, argon, etc.
Hi there!
Although there are only 20 amino acids, these amino acids can combine into an innumerable amount of combinations to form different and unique proteins.
In case that doesn't make sense to you, I'll provide you with an analogy. You could be provided with 20 different LEGO bricks to work with. While there may only be 20 bricks, these bricks can combine into a vast amount of different formations, structures, etc. Amino Acids work in the same way.
Answer:
Empirical formula of C₈H₈ = CH
Explanation:
Data Given:
Molecular Formula = C₈H₈
Empirical Formula = ?
Solution
Empirical Formula:
Empirical formula is the simplest ration of atoms in the molecule but not all numbers of atoms in a compound.
So,
tha ration of the molecular formula should be divided by whole number to get the simplest ratio of molecule
C₈H₈ Consist of Carbon (C), and Hydrogen (H)
Now
Look at the ratio of these two atoms in the compound
C : H
8 : 8
Divide the ratio by two to get simplest ratio
C : H
8/8 : 8/8
1 : 1
So for the empirical formula is the simplest ratio of carbon to hydrogen 1 : 1
So the empirical formula will be
Empirical formula of C₈H₈ = CH
FeSO₄*7H₂O(s) = FeSO₄(s) + 7H₂O(g)
M(FeSO₄*7H₂O)=278.0 g/mol
M(FeSO₄)=151.9 g/mol
m(FeSO₄*7H₂O)/M(FeSO₄*7H₂O)=m(FeSO₄)/M(FeSO₄)
m(FeSO₄)=M(FeSO₄)m(FeSO₄*7H₂O)/M(FeSO₄*7H₂O)
m(FeSO₄)=151.9*100.0/278.0=54.6 g
m(FeSO₄)=54.6 g
