Answer:
Explanation:
A supersaturated solution is unstable—it contains more solute (in this case, sugar) than can stay in solution—so as the temperature decreases, the sugar comes out of the solution, forming crystals. The lower the temperature, the more molecules join the sugar crystals, and that is how rock candy is created.
Answer:
The ability to decompose
Explanation:
A property is a chemical property when it changes the chemical structure of a substance after a reaction.
Density and color are both physical properties.
Even though melting point may seem like a chemical property, when something melts, only the physical state changes, and the chemical structure does not change, and therefore, is a physical property.
The ability to decompose is a chemical property. When something decomposes, the chemical structure of many molecules change, and therefore, is classified as a chemical property.
Answer:
Fe₃Si₇
Explanation:
In order to determine the empirical formula, we have to follow a series of steps.
Step 1: Determine the percent composition
Fe: 46.01%
Si: 53.99%
Step 2: Divide each percentage by the atomic mass of the element
Fe: 46.01/55.85 = 0.8238
Si: 53.99/28.09 = 1.922
Step 3: Divide all the numbers by the smallest one
Fe: 0.8238/0.8238 = 1
Si: 1.922/0.8238 = 2.33
Step 4: Multiply by numbers that make the coefficients whole.
Fe: 1 × 3 = 3
Si: 2.33 × 3 = 7
The empirical formula is Fe₃Si₇.
