Pure Substance- Element

Explanation:

Pure Substance VS. Mixture:
A pure Substance CANNOT be separated by physical changes, but a Mixture can.

PURE SUBSTANCE: Element VS. Compound:
An Element is one simple atom while a compound is two or more.
Example: Al (Aluminum) is an Element. CaCl (Calcium Chloride) is a compound.
You can split a compound with chemical changes because if you were to take the example, it would be a Calcium atom and a Chlorine atom.
You CANNOT split a single atom (Element) unless you want to make an atomic bomb which takes a lot of energy and you don’t want to destroy the whole world.

MIXTURE: Homogeneous VS. Heterogeneous:

Homo- mixed; cannot differentiate pieces
Hetero- can differentiate pieces
EX: homo- ketchup (can you see the difference in the vinegar and tomato paste? No)
Hetero- chicken noodle soup (there’s broth, chicken, peas, carrots, and other things)

What would be the voltage (Ecell) of a voltaic cell comprised of Cd(s)/Cd2+(aq) and Zr(s)/Zr4+(aq) if the concentrations of the

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

1.05 V

Explanation:

Since;

E°cell= E°cathode- E°anode

E°cathode= -0.40 V

E°anode= -1.45 V

E°cell= -0.40-(-1.45) = 1.05 V

Equation of the process;

2Zr(s) + 4Cd^2+(aq) ---->2Zr^4+(aq) + 4Cd(s)

n= 8 electrons transferred

From Nernst's equation;

Ecell = E°cell - 0.0592/n log Q

Ecell= E°cell - 0.0592/8 log [0.5]/[0.5]

Since log 1=0

Ecell= E°cell= 1.05 V

padilas [110]

This is because the relative atomic mass is the sum of the no of protons and neutrons while the atomic no is of the former only. it is not a whole number it is th average weighted masses of the various isotopes of the element multiplied by their corresponding relative abundance. pls thank me and mark me briniest

The energy of a photon is ________ proportional to its wavelength. The energy of a photon is ________ proportional to its freque

topjm [15]

Answer: Inversely , Directly

Explanation:

The energy of a photon is inversely proportional to its wavelength and directly proportional to its frequency.

As can be seen from this equation;

E = hv = h c / ∧

Where E = Energy of a photon

v = Frequency

h = Planck Constant

c = speed of light

∧ = Wave length
