Answer:

A pure substance that contains more than one atom is called a compound.

Explanation:

Compounds are formed by combination of atoms by a fixed ratio. They have their own characteristic features.
Pure substances are further broken down into elements and compounds. A compound can be destroyed by chemical means. It might be broken down into simpler compounds, into its elements or a combination of the two.

Example

H2SO4 which is formed by combination of three different atoms like H, S and O.

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

1.4 g H₂O

Explanation:

In a reaction, the reactants are usually not present in exact stoichiometric amounts, that is, in the proportions indicated by the balanced equation. Frequently a large excess of one reactant is supplied to ensure that the more expensive reactant is completely converted to the desired product. Consequently, some reactant will be left over at the end of the reaction. The reactant used up first in a reaction is called the limiting reagent, because the maximum amount of product formed depends on how much of this reactant was originally present. When this reactant is used up, no more product can be formed.
