Answer:

A pure substance is different from a mixture in that mixtures are made up of more than on component

Explanation:

A pure substance is a substance that is homogeneous and invariable (fixed), and it is not possible to separate or divide it into more substances. For example, water has the formula H2O and is always the same. This indicates that it is formed by molecules in which there are 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. If I changed that formula, it would be another different substance.

A pure substance cannot be broken down into other simpler substances using physical methods.

A pure substance has its own or defined characteristic properties.

A pure substance can be both a chemical element and a compound, which are formed by atoms or molecules of the same nature.

On the other hand, a mixture is the union of two pure substances or compounds (which have their individual properties), and have a variable chemical composition. They can be separated by chemical or physical means and obtain the components that form the mixtures. They are formed by atoms and molecules of different nature.

The mixtures can be homogeneous (whose composition and properties are uniform in any part of a given sample, such as sugar dissolved in water) or heterogeneous (those in which at a glance it is easy to identify the different components that make them up; for example water and oil or water and sand)

Given the above, it is possible to say that a pure substance differs from a mixture in that mixtures are made up of more than on component

b.) mixtures are made up of more than on component. A pure substance is like a diatomic element, like O2, while a mixture is more like a salad, and can be separated by physical means.

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

pH of buffer solution is 7.0

Initial pH of Weak acid is 3.27

Final pH of weak acid is 3.07

Amount of NaOH added is 1ml

Explanation:

Titration is a process in which acid and base are introduced together until a neutral solution is achieved whose pH value is near to buffer solution which is 7.0, the pH value for acid is below 7 while pH value for base is above 7.

The concentration of ozone in a sample of air that has a partial pressure of O3 of 0.33 torr and a total pressure of air of 695

Goryan [66]

Answer:

0.047 %

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Partial pressure of ozone (pO₃): 0.33 torr

Total pressure of air (P): 695 torr

Step 2: Calculate the %v/v of ozone in the air

Air is a mixture of gases. We can find the %v/v of ozone (a component) in the air (mixture) using the following expression.

%v/v = pO₃/P × 100%

%v/v = 0.33 torr/695 torr × 100%

%v/v = 0.047 %

What is the overall process of balancing an equation?

monitta

Answer:

You need to make sure the number of atoms of each element on the reactant side is equal to the number of atoms of each element on the product side. In order make both sides equal, you will need to multiply the number of atoms in each element until both sides are equal. :)
