A compound is a pure substance formed by the chemical combination of two or more different elements.
A compound may be splitted into simpler substances by chemical reactions, and has different properties to those of the elements that form it.
The composition of a compound is fixed: every piece of a compound has the same kind of atoms, bonded in the same way and proportion.
Some examples of compounds are H₂O, NaCl, H₂O₂, CH₃COOH. As you see, they have a chemical formula which states the kind and number of the atoms that form them.
They are different to mixtures, which are formed by two or more compounds, in a variable proportion, and can be separated by physical media. Some examples of mixtures are the solutions (e.g. NaCl dissolved in H₂O), and some solid mixtures (e.g. a mixture of marbles and sand).
Answer: Lexington and Concord
Explanation: The British were trying to find weapons and could not find them.
corrected question: A chemist adds 135mL of a 0.21M zinc nitrate solution to a reaction flask. Calculate the mass in grams of zinc nitrate the chemist has added to the flask. Round your answer to significant digits.
Answer:
5.37g
Explanation:
0.21M means ; 0.21mol/dm³
1dm³=1L , so we can say 0.21mol/L
if 0.21mol of Zinc nitrate is contained in 1L of water
x will be contained in 135mL of water
x= 0.21*135*10³/1
=0.02835moles
number of moles= mass/ molar mass
mass= number of moles *molar mas
molar mass of Zn(NO₃)₂=189.36 g/mol
mass= 0.02835 *189.36
mass=5.37g
Solar Energy is the answer
