Two chemist are trying to determine if their water sample is a mixture or pure substance. In their investigation they first filt

er the sample of dirty water with gravel. The water is then clearer then before. See image. What does this change tell the chemist about the chemical make up of the sample
The dirty water is only a mixture because it was not completely filtered by the gravel.


Dirty water is a mixture of solid particles and liquid. It is both a mixture and pure substance.

The correct answer is option B. Dirty water is a mixture of solid particles and liquid. It is both a mixture and pure substance.

The dirty water sample has both gravel and liquid water in it. After filtration the gravel is removed so the water sample looks clearer than before filtration. Liquid water is a pure substance because it is a compound that is made up of elements hydrogen and oxygen. Now the gravel is only physically combined with the liquid water, thus giving the water sample properties of a mixture. And like any mixture, gravel is physically separated through filtration from the liquid water.

Thus the water sample of the chemists is both a mixture and pure substance.

Vinvika [58]

Answer: b. The waste generated is hazardous and must  be disposed of.

c. Nuclear material can be spilled into the ocean  if reactors are near the coast.

d. A large amount of cold water is generated,  which must be stored somewhere.​

Explanation:

The main environmental costs for produced during the nuclear power plant consists of procurement of fuel and the thermal load is also produced with cold water discharge in the sea. This can contaminate the sea, hence, must be stored somewhere. The nuclear waste consists of radioactive substances which are hazardous for the environment. The nuclear based electricity does not produce carbon dioxide.

KatRina [158]

Answer:However, unlike the outer core, the inner core is not liquid or even molten. The inner core's intense pressure—the entire rest of the planet and its atmosphere—prevents the iron from melting. The pressure and density are simply too great for the iron atoms to move into a liquid state.
