Why are elements and compounds classified as pure substances?

1 answer:

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.

SO2________________.

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

a. Dipole-dipole bonding

Explanation:

SO2 has dipole-dipole bonding. This is because of the difference in the electronegativities of Sulphur and oxygen. Moreover, the lone pair of electrons on S gives it bent shape with a net dipole unlike CO2 which has a linear shape.( This why CO2 does not have any dipole moment).

So, the correct answer is a.

At a given temperature, 4.06 atm of H2 and 3.5 atm of Cl2 are mixed and allowed to come to equilibrium. The equilibrium pressure

Llana [10]

Answer: The value of $K_p$ for the given chemical reaction is 0.1415

Explanation:

Equilibrium constant in terms of partial pressure is defined as the ratio of partial pressures of the products and the reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as $K_p$

For a general chemical reaction:

$aA+bB\rightarrow cC+dD$

The expression for $K_p$ is written as:

$K_p=\frac{p_{C}^cp_{D}^d}{p_{A}^ap_{B}^b}$

For the given chemical equation:

$H_2(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2HCl(g)$

The expression for $K_p$ for the following equation is:

$K_p=\frac{(p_{HCl})^2}{(p_{H_2)}(p_{Cl_2})}$

We are given:

$p_{HCl}=1.418atm\\p_{H_2}=4.06atm\\p_{Cl_2}=3.5atm$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$K_p=\frac{(1.418)^2}{(4.06)\times (3.5)}\\\\K_p=0.1415$

The value of $K_p$ for the given chemical reaction is 0.1415

For an atom’s electrons, how many energy sublevels are present in the principal energy level n = 4?

defon

"n" represents principal energy level or principal quantum number. Principal energy levels are then subdivided into sublevels. The level of principal energy level is always equal to number of sublevels. Therefore if principal energy level = 4, then there are also 4 sublevels present, namely: 4s, 4p, 4d and 4f sublevels.

Why are mole ratios important in stoichiometry?

Zielflug [23.3K]

Mole ratios are important because mole ratios allow you change moles of a substance to moles of another substance.
