Is mouthwash an element, a compound, a homogeneous mixture, or a heterogeneous mixture?

An element is a substance that can not be broken down in simpler substances by chemical means. A compound is a substance that contains two or more substances that are chemically combined in a definite and fixed proportion by mass. A mixture is a combination of two or more substances which are not chemically combined. Mouthwash is an example of homogeneous mixture.

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An element is defined as a substance which cannot be broken down into simpler substances.

For example, potassium is a metal and it contains only atoms of potassium.

A compound is defined as a substance that contains two different elements which are chemically combined together in a fixed ratio by mass.

For example, $MgCl_{2}$ is a compound in which atoms are present in 1:2 ratio.

A mixture in which particles of one or more number of solutes are evenly distributed into the solvent is known as a homogeneous mixture.

For example, a mouthwash is a homogeneous mixture because it is a clear solution as all the components are evenly distributed.

On the other hand, a heterogeneous mixture is defined as the mixture in which solvent particles are unevenly distributed into the solvent.

For example, mud particles present in water is a heterogeneous mixture.

Thus, we can conclude that mouthwash is a homogeneous mixture.

5. When ortho-bromonitrobenzene is treated with NaOH at elevated temperature, only one product is formed. (a) Draw the product.

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

The product formed is orthonitrophenol

Explanation:

The compound orthonitrophenol is formed when ortho-bromonitrobenzene is treated with NaOH at elevated temperature.

The reaction leads to the formation of an intermediate stabilized by resonance. This intermediate can not be formed by the meta isomer because a resonance stabilized intermediate can not be formed and the product is not stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonding hence this reaction will not occur.

A concentration cell is constructed using two Ni electrodes with Ni2+ concentrations of 1.0 M and 1.00 � 10�4 M in the two half-

Komok [63]

Answer: The cell potential of the cell is +0.118 V

Explanation:

The half reactions for the cell is:

Oxidation half reaction (anode): $Ni(s)\rightarrow Ni^{2+}+2e^-$

Reduction half reaction (cathode): $Ni^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Ni(s)$

In this case, the cathode and anode both are same. So, $E^o_{cell}$ will be equal to zero.

To calculate cell potential of the cell, we use the equation given by Nernst, which is:

$E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.0592}{n}\log \frac{[Ni^{2+}_{diluted}]}{[Ni^{2+}_{concentrated}]}$

where,

n = number of electrons in oxidation-reduction reaction = 2

$E_{cell}$ = ?

$[Ni^{2+}_{diluted}]$ = $1.00\times 10^{-4}M$

$[Ni^{2+}_{concentrated}]$ = 1.0 M

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$E_{cell}=0-\frac{0.0592}{2}\log \frac{1.00\times 10^{-4}M}{1.0M}$

$E_{cell}=0.118V$

Hence, the cell potential of the cell is +0.118 V
