Why are elements and compounds classified as pure substances?

Chemistry
1 answer:
IgorC [24]3 years ago
3 0

Pure substances contain a single type of chemical species, either element or compound. Elements cannot be further broken into simpler units by chemical methods. If we consider a sample of elements, it has a single type of atoms present in it. A compound has one or more atoms bound together chemically. Compounds can be broken down into simpler units by chemical means. When we consider a sample of a single compound say water, it has all the pure water molecules. Hence, elements and compounds are pure substances.

Answer:

1 mole of C2H6.

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

2C2H6 + 7O2 —> 4CO2 + 6H2O

We can determine the number of mole of C2H6 that reacted to produce 2 moles of CO2 as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

2 moles of C2H6 reacted to produce 4 moles of CO2.

Therefore, Xmol of C2H6 will react to produce 2 moles of CO2 i.e

Xmol of CO2 = (2 x 2)/4

Xmol of CO2 = 1 mole.

Therefore, 1 mole of C2H6 is required to produce 2 moles of CO2.

Which of the following statements is TRUE? Which of the following statements is TRUE? Two electrons in the same orbital can have
Monica [59]

An orbital that penetrates into the region occupied by core electrons is less shielded from nuclear charge than an orbital that does not penetrate and therefore has a lower energy.

Explanation:

The only true statement from the given options is that "an orbital that penetrates into the region occupied by core electrons is less shielded from nuclear charge than an orbital that does not penetrate and therefore has a lower energy." Inner orbitals which are also known to contain core electrons feels the bulk of the nuclear pull on them compared to the outermost orbitals containing the valence electrons.

  • The nuclear pull is the effect of the nucleus pulling and attracting the electrons in orbitals.
  • This pull is stronger for inner orbitals and weak on the outer ones.
  • The outer orbitals are said to be well shielded from the pull of the nuclear charge.
  • Also, based on the quantum theory, electrons in the outer orbitals have higher energies because they occupy orbitals at having higher energy value.

Bond length is the distance between the centers of two bonded atoms. On the potential energy curve, the bond length is the inter
mariarad [96]

Answer:

152 pm

Explanation:

According to the question, we can estimate the bond length from the given values of the atomic radii. This now is the upper limit of the bond length for the molecule.

Since we have that;

Atomic radius of H= 37.0 pm

Atomic radius of Br = 115.0 pm

Bond length = Atomic radius of H + Atomic radius of Br

Bond length = 37.0 pm + 115.0 pm

Bond length = 152 pm

A solution contains 15 grams of salt per litter of solution. How many grams of salt are in 3.3 litters of solution?​
Verizon [17]

49.5g

Explanation:

Mass of salt = 15g

Volume of solution = 1L

Volume of given solution = 3.3L

Unknown:

Mass of salt in the solution = ?

Solution:

Since we have been given the concentration of the salt in the solution, we can use it to solve the problem.

Concentration; 15g/L

Given;

    In 1L of the solution we have 15g of salt,

In    3.3L of the solution we will have 3.3 x 15 = 49.5g

The salt is the solute and it represents the dissolved substances.
