Read the descriptions below of two substances and an experiment on each. Decide whether the result of the experiment tells you t

he substance is a pure substance or a mixture, if you can. • Sample A is a solid yellow cube with a total mass of 50.0 g. The cube is put into a beaker filled with 250. mL of water. The cube collapses into a small pile of orange powder at the bottom of the beaker. When this powder is filtered out, dried and weighed, it has a total mass of 29.9 g. If the experiment is repeated with 500. mL of water, the powder that's left over has a mass of 10.0 g. Sample B is 100. g of a coarse grey powder with a faint unpleasant smell. 15. mg of the powder are put into a very thin tube and heated. The powder begins melting at 66.2 °C.The temperature stays constant as the powder slowly melts. After the last of the powder melts, the temperature starts to rise again, eventually reaching 76.0 °C. O pure substance Is sample A made from a pure substance or a mixture? x ? mixture If the description of the substance and the outcome of the experiment isn't enough to decide, choose "can't decide. (can't decide) O pure substance Is sample B made from a pure substance or a mixture? If the description of the substance and the outcome of bstance and the outcome of the experiment isn't enough to decide, choose "can't decide." mixture (can't decide)

Answer and Explanation: Sample A is a <u>mixture</u>. Solubility is characteristics of each substance, which means a substance can be distinguished from other substances and can be useful to separate mixtures.

In Sample A, when is added different volumes of water, the resulting powder has different mass. This means there are more than one substance forming the yellow cube. Therefore, sample A is a mixture.

Sample B is a <u>pure</u> <u>substance</u>. Each substance has its own melting point. Whe na pure substance reaches its melting point, temperature is constant until all of that substance is melted. In sample B, temperature is stable at 66.2°C and then, after all the powder is melted, it rises again. Therefore, sample B is a pure substance.

What mass of aluminum is needed to produce 0.500 mole of aluminum chloride?
3241004551 [841]

Answer:  " 13.5 g Al " ;

                    →  that is:  "13.5 grams of aluminum."

<u>____________________________</u>

Explanation:

<u>____________________________</u>

<u>Note</u>: What is missing from the question is the "balanced chemical equation" for the "chemical reaction" that contains:

 The reactants:  "aluminum (Al) " ;  and "chlorine (Cl) " ;  and:

 The product:    "aluminum choloride (AlCl₃) " .

____________________________

The "balanced chemical equation" is:

____________________________

        2 Al   +   3 Cl₂   →   2 AlCl₃   ;

_____________________________

<u>Note</u>: The molecular weight of "aluminum (Al)" is:   " 26.98 g /mol " .

____________________________

So:  We call solve using a technique known as:  "dimensional analysis" :

____________________________

  0.500 mol AlCl₃ * (\frac{2mol Al}{2mol AlCl_{3} }) * (\frac{26.98g Al}{1 mol Al}) = ?

____________________________

<u>Note</u>:  The units of "mol AlCl₃" cancel out to "1' ; and:

          The  units of "mol Al" cancel out to "1" ; and we are left with:

____________________________

 " \frac{(0.500 * 2 * 26.98)}{2}   g Al ["grams of aluminum"] ;

____________________________

<u>Note</u>: We can "cancel out the "2's" ; since "2/2 = 1 " ; and we have:

 →  (0.500 * 26.98) g Al ;

    = 13.49 g Al ;

         →  Round to 3 (Three) significant figures;

         →  Since:  "0.500" has 3 (Three) significant figures:

____________________________

   =  13.5 g Al ; that is:  "13.5 grams of aluminum."

____________________________

 Hope this is helpful!  

      Best wishes to you in your academic pursuits—and within the "Brainly" community!

Adding O2 to the reaction 6CO2 + 6H2O &lt;---&gt; C6H12O6 + 6O2, WHICH WAY WILL THE REACTION SHIFT?
Alex73 [517]

Increase in Oxygen shift the equilibrium towards reactant side.

<u>Explanation:</u>

6CO₂ + 6H₂O ⇄ C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

This is the reaction occurs in the photosynthesis of plants by means of sunlight. In this case, if the concentration of Oxygen increases or adding more oxygen to the product side will shift the equilibrium towards the reactant side according to the Le Chatlier's principle, which adjusts the equilibrium by itself for any changes that is increase or decrease in pressure, temperature or concentration of reactants or products.
