Answer:

A compound is a pure substance because its molecule cannot be broken down into simpler particles by physical means. A compound is not a pure substance because it is not an element, and only elements are pure substances.

Describe an experiment for the preparation and collection of Oxygen sodium peroxide​
vitfil [10]

Answer:

Making oxygen

Oxygen can be made from hydrogen peroxide, which decomposes slowly to form water and oxygen:

hydrogen peroxide → water + oxygen

2H2O2(aq) → 2H2O(l) + O2(g)

The rate of reaction can be increased using a catalyst, manganese(IV) oxide. When manganese(IV) oxide is added to hydrogen peroxide, bubbles of oxygen are given off.

Apparatus arranged to measure the volume of gas in a reaction. Reaction mixture is in a flask and gas travels out through a pipe in the top and down into a trough of water. It then bubbles up through a beehive shelf into an upturned glass jar filled with water. The gas collects at the top of the jar, forcing water out into the trough below.

To make oxygen in the laboratory, hydrogen peroxide is poured into a conical flask containing some manganese(IV) oxide. The gas produced is collected in an upside-down gas jar filled with water. As the oxygen collects in the top of the gas jar, it pushes the water out.

Instead of the gas jar and water bath, a gas syringe could be used to collect the oxygen.

A student carefully pipets 10.00ml of ethanol into a beaker. If ethanol has a density of 0.779g/ml, how many grams of ethanol we
lesantik [10]

Answer: 7.79 grams of ethanol were put into the beaker.

Explanation:

To calculate the mass of ethanol, we use the equation:

\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}

Density of ethanol = 0.779 g/mL

Volume of water = 10.00 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.779g/mL=\frac{\text{Mass of ethanol}}{10.00mL}\\\\\text{Mass of ethanol}=(0.779g/mL\times 10.00mL)=7.79g

Thus 7.79 grams of ethanol were put into the beaker.

If you are asked to compare matter in solid, liquid, and gaseous states, which statement best defines a gas?
Elza [17]
I am pretty sure that <span>If I were asked to compare matter in solid, liquid, and gaseous states, the statement which would best defined a gas is </span>highest energy, highest molecular motion, and least dense packaging of molecules. I choose this one because it's not sensible to <span>heat CO2 (in case of safety) and in the last option the amount of energy is not satisfying.

Hope it helps!</span>
