No: A controlled substance is a chemical compound that is "controlled," per say, by the government. Access to these substances is limited, hence the use of prescriptions for potentially addictive pharmaceuticals. 
An illegal drug is a substance deemed harmful, both to the body of one using said substance and those in the society around it, and its use is, therefore, not allowed under the law.

inysia [295]
First, we calculate the mass of the sample:

mass = density x volume
mass = 8.48 x 112.5
mass = 954 grams

Now, we will calculate the mass of each component using its percentage mass, then divide it by its atomic mass to find the moles and finally multiply the number of moles by the number of particles in a mole, that is, 6.02 x 10²³.

Zinc mass = 0.37 x 954
Zinc mass = 352.98 g
Zinc moles = 352.98 / 65
Zinc moles = 5.43
Zinc atoms = 5.43 x 6.02 x 10²³
Zinc atoms = 3.27 x 10²⁴

Copper mass = 0.63 x 954
Copper mass = 601.02 g
Copper moles = 601.02 / 64
Copper moles = 9.39
Copper atoms = 9.39 x 6.02 x 10²³
Copper atoms = 5.56 x 10²⁴

What are the two ways to measure the sand in a sand castle?
Sergeu [11.5K]
The two ways to measure the sand in a sand castle are by counting the number of pails of sand used to build the castle and by determining the mass of the sand used in building the castle. The first method makes use of the volume of the pail to determine the amount of sand while the second method is a more quantitative way.<span />

Why is glass brittle
WITCHER [35]
Glass doesn't contain planes of atoms that can slip past each other, so there is no way to relieve stress. It has many microscopic cracks that act as seeds for fracture. It’s molecular structure is composed of tetrahedral crystals so it ruptured easily under stress
