Why is a solution not a pure substance?
Kaylis [27]

A solution is not a pure substance as it is a mixture between a solute and a solvent.

Pure substances are substances that are made up of only type of particles and have a fixed structure. In pure substances the matter cannot be separated into other kinds of matter by any physical means.

A homogenous mixture of two or more substances in relative amounts that can be varied continuously up to what is called the limit of solubility. The term solution is commonly applied to the liquid state of matter, but solutions of gases and solids are possible.

A solution cannot be a pure substance because it is made up of a homogenous mixture of solute and a solvent. Homogenous means the matter cannot be separated out and therefore a solution cannot be a pure substance.

Atoms of which element react spontaneously with mg2+ (aq)?
ehidna [41]
The complete answer contains the answer choices.


This is the complete question:


Atoms of which element react spontaneously with Mg2+(aq)? (1)chromium
(2)barium
(3)iron
(4)zinc


Answer: option 2. barium.


Explanation.


1) Mg ²⁺ (aq) is the aquous cation of the metal Mg.


2) Only a metal more reactive than Mg will be able to exchange with it the oxidation states.


3) Mg is an earth alkalyne metal (group 2 of the periodic table). The metals from this group are more reactive than the metals in the groups to its right: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, ... Only the alkalyne metals (those in group 1) are more reactive than the earth alkalyne metals.


4) Of the list, barium is the only alkalyne metal, so it is more reactive than Mg and will be able to deliver 2 electrons to transform the cations Mg²⁺ into Mg while the very Ba will become Ba²⁺.


5) Chromium, iron and zinc are transition metals, so less metallic (reactive) than Mg.

A piece of iron is heated to 120'C then placed in a calorimeter containing 50g of water. The water temperature is raised from 30
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

Mass of iron = 59.375 gm

Explanation:

Calories ( or joules) are added to the water by the hot steel so at the endpoint they are BOTH at 40 C

 The water gains:

     4.18  j/g-C  * 50 * (40-30 C) = 2090 j

The steel gave up 2090 j going from 120 to 40 C

2090 = .44 j/g-C  * m * (120-40)    solve fro m = 59.375 gm
