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!

Is there a difference in speed between a car going forwards at 5m/s and a car moving backwards at 5m/s
slava [35]

There is NOT a difference in speed between a car going forwards at 5 m/s and a car moving backwards at 5 m/s.

Speed is just the rate of change of the position of an object. It is calculated by dividing the change in position (distance traveled) by the time it takes to move said distance.

The distance between the two points is always positive because the direction does not matter.

However, if we are looking for the velocity, the direction DOES matter. In this example, the velocity moving forwards is 5 m/s while the velocity moving backwards is -5 m/s.

In other words:

<em>Speed </em>is looking at the <em>magnitude</em>

<em>Velocity </em>is looking at the <em>magnitude </em><em>and </em><em>direction.</em>

PLS HELP ASAP

Species change over time. -The mechanism that produces the change is natural selection: the differential survival and reproduction of individuals based on variation in their traits. Natural selection acts on individuals but individuals do not evolve; their descendants do.
