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.

REY [17]

Answer:

Atom may be defined as the smallest particle of an element which does not exist free in nature but takes part directly in chemical combinations. 

Atom of any element is represented by the symbol of that element. For example, hydrogen atom is represented by H, sodium atom is represented by Na, etc. 

Molecule may be defined as the smallest particle of an element or compound which exists free in nature but does not participate directly in chemical combinations. 

Molecule of any substance is represented by their molecular formula. For example, water molecule is represented by H2O. It tells that each water molecule contains two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen.

What is the percent composition of CuO if a sample of CuO with a mass of 62.5 g contains 12.5 g of oxygen (O) and 50 g of Cu
Arlecino [84]

Percent (%) Composition of CuO

Cu = 1 x 50g      - Multiply by one as there is one Cu

O = 1 x 12.5g      - Multiply by one as there is one O

CuO = 62.5g

% for Cu = 50g over 62.5 multiplied by 100 = 80%

% for O = 12.5g over 62.5 multiplied by 100 = 20%

Final Answer :

<em>Percent (%) Composition of CuO = </em>80% (Cu) & 20% (O)

I think I would agree on horses, just because you can take them for lessons, ride them treat them like a pet. Donkeys you can’t ride but you can have as a pet. Horses you can make money off, like races, but aren’t influenced. You can rent out horses to people that don’t have anywhere to place them.
