<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! :)

Given that the density of air is 14.4, then the vapour of sulphur IV oxide is A. 16 B. 32 C. 64 D. 128
Arisa [49]

Answer:

32

Explanation:

The vapour density of a gas is the number of times a given volume of gas or vapour is as heavy as the same volume of hydrogen at a particular temperature and pressure.

Vapour density = 2 × relative molecular mass of the gas or vapour

Relative molecular mass of SO2 = 32 + 2(16) = 64

Hence;

Vapour density of SO2 = 64/2

Vapour density of SO2 = 32

1) How old is a bone in which the Carbon-14 in it has undergone 8 half-lives?
gladu [14]

1) How old is a bone in which the Carbon-14 in it has undergone 8 half-lives?

Using the graph form the picture you count 8 times the halving of C¹⁴ and you arrive at 45600 years.

2) In the process of radiocarbon dating, the fixed period of radioactive decay used to determine age is called the half-life.

3) A certain byproduct in nuclear reactors, 210Po, decays to become 206Pb. After a time period of about 276 days, only about 25% of an original sample of 210Po remains. The remainder has decayed to 206Pb. Determine the approximate half-life of 210Po.

What the problem is telling you is that at 276 days only 25% original sample remains. If you divide the number of days by two the quantity of original sample will be multiplied by two, and you will have 138 days and 50% of original sample. This is the answer because the the half-life of a isotope is the time in which 50% of original quantity of radioactive atoms will disintegrate.

If I add water to 100mL of a 0.15M NaOH solution until the final volume is 150mL, what will the molarity of the diluted solution
Mars2501 [29]

Answer : A

0,15 moles of NaOH -------in-------1000ml

x moles of NaOH ---------in-------100ml

x= 0,015 moles of NaOH

final volume =150ml

0,015 moles of NaOH -------in------150ml

x moles of NaOH ------in--------1000ml

x= 0,1 moles of NaOH
