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.

For each pair below, select the sample that contains the largest number of moles. Pair A 2.50 g O2 2.50 g N2
raketka [301]

Answer:

Explanation:

Pair  2.50g of O₂ and 2.50g of  N₂

The atoms sample with the largest number of moles since the masses are the same would be the one with lowest molar mass according the the equation below:

Number of moles = \frac{mass }{molarmass}

Atomic mass of O = 16g and N = 14g

Molar mass of O₂ = 16 x 2 = 32gmol⁻¹

Molar mass of N₂ = 14 x 2 = 28gmol⁻¹

Number of moles of O₂ = \frac{2.5}{32} = 0.078mole

Number of moles of N₂ = \frac{2.5}{28} =  0.089mole

We see that N₂ has the largest number of moles

Carbon disulfide is prepared industrially by reacting carbon with sulfur dioxide according to the above equation. If 70.8 g of c
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

1.18 moles of CS₂ are produced by the reaction.

Explanation:

We present the reaction:

5C + 2SO₂  →  CS₂  +  4CO

5 moles of carbon react to 2 moles of sulfur dioxide in order to produce 1 mol of carbon disulfide and 4 moles of carbon monoxide.

As we do not have data from the SO₂, we assume this as the excess reagent. We convert the mass of carbon to moles:

70.8 g / 12 g/mol = 5.9 moles

Ratio is 5:1, so 5 moles of carbon react to produce 1 mol of CS₂

Then, 5.9 moles will produce (5.9 . 1) / 5 = 1.18 moles
