Determine whether each of the descriptions of matter describes a heterogeneous mixture, a homogeneous mixture, or a pure substan
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer: a. two substances present; two phases present  : Heterogeneous mixture

b. two substances present; one phase present : Homogeneous mixture

c. one substance present; one phase present : pure substance.

d. one substance present; two phases present: Heterogeneous mixture

Explanation:

A pure substance is a substance which contains definite composition of only one type of component. Hence, it cannot be separated by physical means.

Mixture is a substance which contains two or more than two types of components and they can be separated by physical means as well.

Homogeneous mixtures: It is a mixture that has uniform composition throughout the solution and the particle size or shapes are not different. There is no physical boundary between the dispersed phase and dispersion medium.

Heterogeneous mixtures: It is a mixture that has non-uniform composition throughout the solution and the particle size or shapes are also different.  There is a physical boundary between the dispersed phase and dispersion medium.

Which of the following does NOT involve a change of state? a. pouring water into a vacuum-insulated bottle b. sublimation of dry
Elena L [17]
<h2> The correct option is (a).</h2>

Explanation:

  • There is no change of state in pouring water into a vacuum insulated bottle as the vacuum created inside the bottle only reduces the time limit for the transfer of heat by conduction and convection.
  • It helps the content filled in the bottle to be hot and cool for a longer time.

Hence, option (a) is correct.

Rest of the options (b), (c), (d), (e) is not correct because of the following reasons:

  • In the sublimation of dry ice, the dry ice (solid-state) is changed to the vapour form.
  • In the freezing of water, the liquid state is changed to solid-state.
  • During the vaporization of alcohol, the liquid state is changed to the vapour form.
  • During the melting of ice, the solid-state is changed to the liquid state.

Borax (na2b4o7·10h2o; fw = 381.372 g/mol; density = 1.73 g/ml), a primary standard, was used to standardize a solution of hno3.
SashulF [63]
<span>0.06355391 mol The balanced equation for the reaction is Na2B4O7*10H2O + 2 HNO3 = 2 NaNO3 + 4 H3BO3 + 5 H2O So for each mole of Borax to neutralize, it takes 2 moles of HNO3. Calculate number of moles of Borax 0.2619 g / 381.372 g/mol = 0.0006867 mol Moles of HNO3 used = 0.0006867 mol * 2 = 0.0013734 mol Molarity is defined as moles per liter so divide the number of moles used by the volume in liters. So 0.0013734 / 0.02161 = 0.06355391 mol</span>
