The correct option is D.

In chemistry, a pure substance refers to a matter that possesses definite and constant composition with unique chemical properties. Another word for a pure substance is chemical substance. A pure substance typically contains only one type of atom or only one type of molecule. Examples of pure substances are water, sodium chloride, gold, silver, etc. In the question given above, we are told that the unknown element can only be broken down by chemical mean, this shows that the unknown compound is a chemical compound.

Answer:

D) Pure Substance

Explanation:

The unknown substance can be classified as a pure substance. This is because every other option given (impure substance, solution, mixture) are all examples of substances where the particles are not chemically bonded together.

If a substance is classified as a pure substance, that means that every atom in its chemical formula is chemically bonded to each other.

Would nitrogen gas be a mineral if it has a chemical formula of n2?
STALIN [3.7K]

<u>Answer:</u>

Nitrogen gas be a mineral only, if it is in organic forms.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Most of the forms of organic nitrogen is not be taken by plants, with the exception in the form of small organic molecules. Also plants can promptly take the nitrogen  when it is in other forms like ammonia and nitrate.

The microorganisms  in the soil converts the organic forms of nitrogen to mineral form when they decompose organic matters and  also fresh plant residues. This type of process is called mineralisation.

: If a 250. mL sample of the above buffer solution initially has 0.0800 mol H2C6H5O7 - and 0.0600 mol HC6H5O7 2- , what would be
Jet001 [13]

Answer: New concentration of HC_{6}H_{5}O^{2-}_{7} is 0.23 M.

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

     Moles of HC_{6}H_{5}O^{2-}_{7} = 0.06 mol

     Moles of H_{2}C_{6}H_{5}O_{7} = 0.08 mol

Therefore, moles of OH^{-} added are as follows.

    Moles of OH^{-} = 0.125 \times \frac{25}{1000}

                          = 0.003125 mol

Now, new moles of HC_{6}H_{5}O^{2-}_{7} = 0.06 + 0.003125

                     = 0.063125

Therefore, new concentration of HC_{6}H_{5}O^{2-}_{7} will be calculated as follows.

       Concentration = \frac{0.063125}{0.275}

                               = 0.23 M

Thus, we can conclude that new concentration of HC_{6}H_{5}O^{2-}_{7} is 0.23 M.
