Always remember that a compound can be separated into simpler substances by chemical methods/reactions. While elements cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical reactions. You can do a flame test and spectrum analysis to determine whether a solid material is an element or a compound. Check the boiling and/or melting point, color or density. Also check the solid material’s reaction with oxygen, hydrogen, calcium, or various acids. Examine and study its physical chemistry. The element(s) that may be present may be identified by checking the absorption edges from an x-ray spectrum.
For instance, a solid white material (A) is heated in the absence of air, decomposing to form a new white material (B) and gas (C). Gas (C) has the same properties as the products when carbon is burned in an excess of oxygen (CO2). How can we determine whether A, B, and C are elements or compounds? A would be a compound since it was broken down into B and C. So how do we determine B and C?
A compound can be decomposed, for the reason that a compound is composed of 2 or more elements. On the contrary, an element cannot be decomposed.
Given the model from the question,
- The products are: N₂, H₂O and H₂
- The reactants are: H₂ and NO
- The limiting reactant is H₂
- The balanced equation is: 3H₂ + 2NO —> N₂ + 2H₂O + H₂
<h3>Balanced equation </h3>
From the model given, we obtained the ffolowing
- Red => Oxygen
- Blue => Nitrogen
- White => Hydrogen
Thus, we can write the balanced equation as follow:
3H₂ + 2NO —> N₂ + 2H₂O + H₂
From the balanced equation above,
- Reactants: H₂ and NO
- Product: N₂, H₂O and H₂
<h3>How to determine the limiting reactant</h3>
3H₂ + 2NO —> N₂ + 2H₂O + H₂
From the balanced equation above,
3 moles of H₂ reacted with 2 moles of NO.
Therefore,
5 moles of H₂ will react with = (5 × 2) / 3 = 3.33 moles of NO
From the calculation made above, we can see that only 3.33 moles of NO out of 4 moles given are required to react completely with 5 moles of H₂.
Thus, H₂ is the limiting reactant

Answer: 1709.4 Joules
Explanation:
The quantity of Heat Energy (Q) released on cooling a heated substance depends on its Mass (M), specific heat capacity (C) and change in temperature (Φ)
Thus, Q = MCΦ
Since Q = ?
M = 18.5 grams
Recall that the specific heat capacity of copper C = 0.385 J/g.C
Φ = 285°C - 45°C = 240°C
Then, Q = MCΦ
Q = 18.5grams x 0.385 J/g.C x 240°C
Q = 1709.4 Joules
Thus, 1709.4 Joules is released when copper is cooled.
Answer:
volume of the gas is 5.0L
Explanation:
Using Boyle's law that state the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to volume of it occupies when temperature is constant, it is possible to write:
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
<em>Where P is pressure, V is volume and 1 and 2 are initial and final states.</em>
<em />
If initial volume is 2.5L, initial pressure is 2.0atm and 1.0atm is final pressure, final volume is:
2.0atm*2.5L = 1atm V₂
5.0L = V₂
Thus, <em>volume of the gas is 5.0L</em>.
