Susana heats up a sample of red crystals. While the sample is being heated, a gas is released and a blue powder is left after th

e heating. Is the sample of red crystals an element or a compound? Explain your answer.
MY ANSWER:

The red crystals are compounds. This is because when the sample is heated, a GAS (element) is released and BLUE POWDER (element) is left. Two elements make up these red crystals. A compound can also be shown through color change - the RED crystals, when heated, turn into BLUE powder. Elements cannot be broken down into substances using physical force, like heating. So yes, this is a compound.


SAMPLE ANSWER:

Susana's red crystal sample is a compound because it was broken down into a gas and blue powder. It is not an element because elements cannot be broken down into simpler substances by ordinary means, such as heating.


MAKE SURE TO INCLUDE AND ELABORATE ON THE FACT(S) THAT:


- Elements cannot be broken down into simpler substances.

[and]

- Compounds can be broken down into simpler substances.


I hope this helps! I wanted to post this for the help of future searchers.

Answer:

You can use either your answer or the sample answer you gave. You are so nice by the way!

Explanation:

THE FOLLOWING ARE TWO ANSWERS YOU CAN CHOOSE FROM

ANSWER 1:

The red crystals are compounds. This is because when the sample is heated, a GAS (element) is released and BLUE POWDER (element) is left. Two elements make up these red crystals. A compound can also be shown through color change - the RED crystals, when heated, turn into BLUE powder. Elements cannot be broken down into substances using physical force, like heating. So yes, this is a compound.

ANSWER 2:

The red crystals are compounds. This is because when the sample is heated, a GAS (element) is released and BLUE POWDER (element) is left. Two elements make up these red crystals. A compound can also be shown through color change - the RED crystals, when heated, turn into BLUE powder. Elements cannot be broken down into substances using physical force, like heating. So yes, this is a compound.

EITHER ONE YOU CHOOSE WILL BE CORRECT, JUST SAYING!

When an ionic compound such as sodium chloride (NaCl) is placed in water, the component atoms of the NaCl crystal dissociate int
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is C) 1 L of 1.0 M NaCl

Explanation:

NaCl is a ionic compound so it dissociates in water into Na⁺ and Cl⁻ ions. Glucose is a covalent solute so it does not dissociates into ions. So, when we dissolve NaCl we have twice the amount of particles in solution in comparison with glucose. According to this:

A) and B) are solutions with the same concentration (0.5 M) but NaCl solution will have more solute particles than glucose.

C) and D) are solutions with more solute amount because they are more concentrated (1 M), but NaCl solution will have more solute particles than glucose solution ( 1 mol of Na⁺ ions + 1 mol of Cl⁻ ions).

The solution with the greatest solute particle number is C).

Free_Kalibri [48]

the argument that the researcher supports in this statement is that the Viruses are nonliving

Answer : Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

Viruses are organic structures and they are often termed as "organisms at the end of life". Virus is not considered a living as it does not have a biological machinery to replicate.It is a parasite and it needs a host to replicate.

The virus tries its entry through the wounds, respiratory tracts and by passing through insects.

The complete virus particle is known as virion which consists of a nucleic acid surrounded by a capsid, Virus first attach themselves to a host through their surface.

MrMuchimi
A medical researcher measured the diastolic wall thicknesses of the arteries in a young, healthy test subject. The test subject came back 20 years later to have the measurements repeated. The measurements revealed that the subject's artery walls were half as thick as they were originally. Which of the following is the most likely long-term effect if the measured trend continues?

b) Arteries will be unable to withstand the pressure exerted by the heart, causing an aneurysm

frutty [35]

The answer is B. The cardiac, respiratory, and vasomotor control centers are in the medulla. This means that the medulla controls heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, and the size of the body's blood vessels. They have chemoreceptors, pH sensing structures that detect levels of carbon dioxide in the blood and adjust the breathing rate accordingly.
