<span>Iron is a metal, while sulfur is a nonmetal. when these two are heated together, the iron atoms combine with the sulfur atoms to make a compound known as iron sulphide. ( iron sulphide is not iron or sulfur; it is a pure substance with its own sets of distinguishing physical and chemical characteristics </span>

"Iron and sulfur are both elements from the periodic table of elements.  As such, each one has its own unique set of physical and chemical properties.  Iron is a metal, while sulfur is a nonmetal.  When these two are heated together, the iron atoms combine with the sulfur atoms to make a compound known as iron sulphide.  A compound is different from elements in that it is made from the chemical union of two or more elements.  Iron sulphide is not iron or sulfur; it is a pure substance with its own set of distinguishing physical and chemical characteristics.  A mixture, on the other hand, is what you get by combining two or more elements, but not chemically combining them.  In the case of the iron and the sulfur, if you mix them and provide no heat, you simply have a mixture of iron and sulfur.  Mixtures are different from compounds in that they are easily separated.  A magnet could be used to separate the iron from the sulfur, because iron is attracted to magnets, while sulfur is not." https://www.enotes.com/homework-help/explain-why-iron-sulphide-compound-not-just-336735 - I hope this helps! :)

Consider the following reaction: 2{\rm{ N}}_2 {\rm{O(}}g)\; \rightarrow \;2{\rm{ N}}_2 (g)\; + \;{\rm{O}}_2 (g)
fredd [130]

Answer:

a. 5.9 × 10⁻³ M/s

b. 0.012 M/s

Explanation:

Let's consider the following reaction.

2 N₂O(g) → 2 N₂(g) + O₂(g)

a.

Time (t): 12.0 s

Δn(O₂): 1.7 × 10⁻² mol

Volume (V): 0.240 L

We can find the average rate of the reaction over this time interval using the following expression.

r = Δn(O₂) / V × t

r = 1.7 × 10⁻² mol / 0.240 L × 12.0 s

r = 5.9 × 10⁻³ M/s

b. The molar ratio of N₂O to O₂ is 2:1. The rate of change of N₂O is:

5.9 × 10⁻³ mol O₂/L.s × (2 mol N₂O/1 mol O₂) = 0.012 M/s

In a chemical compound, would you expect an oxide ion to be joined with one atom of calcium or one atom of potassium? Why?
Soloha48 [4]

I know what you're asking but I don't think the question is stated properly. Technically, an atom will not join with an "oxide" ion; i.e., the oxide ion is an atom of oxygen to which two electrons have been added. An oxide ion will add to 2 K ions or 1 Ca ion. The K ion has lost just one electron so it takes two of them to equal the 2- charge on the oxide ion whereas the Ca ion has lost two electrons and it takes only one of them to equal the charge on the oxide ion.

The volume of 0.05 M H2SO4 is needed to completely neutralise 15ml of 0.1 M NaOH solution is
Feliz [49]
V(NaOH)=15 mL =0.015 L
C(NaOH)=0.1 mol/L
C(H₂SO₄)=0.05 mol/L

2NaOH + H₂SO₄ = Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O

n(NaOH)=V(NaOH)C(NaOH)=2n(H₂SO₄)
n(H₂SO₄)=V(H₂SO₄)C(H₂SO₄)

V(NaOH)C(NaOH)=2V(H₂SO₄)C(H₂SO₄)

V(H₂SO₄)=V(NaOH)C(NaOH)/{2C(H₂SO₄)}

V(H₂SO₄)=0.015*0.1/{2*0.05}=0.015 L = 15 mL
