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.


More information is needed to answer the question.


The dirty water is only a pure substance now that it has been filtered by the gravel

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.

A graduated cylinder is filled to the 40.00-mL mark with a mineral oil. The masses of the cylinder before and after the addition
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

Firstly, Let's experiment this !

Experiment 1 :

159.446g - 124.966g = 34.48g

34.48g = The mass of Mineral oil.

The density of the mineral oil = M/V = 34.48g/40mL = 0.862g/cm³.

Experiment 2 :

124.966 + 18.173 = 143.139 = The mass of solid + cylinder.

124.966 + 50.952 = 175.918 = The mass of solid + cylinder + Mineral water.

175.918 - 143.139 = 32.779 = The mass of added mineral oil.

Explanation:

Now we have to find the volume of the added mineral oil using the density from experiment 1.

V = 32.779g/0.862g/cm³ = 38.02668213mL

Since we found the volume of the solid, we then have to subtract the added mineral oil volume from the total volume from experiment 1.

Volume of solid = 40-38.02668213 = 1.97331787mL

Density of solid = 18.713g/1.97331787mL = 9.483013499g/cm^3

1.97331787 = (4/3)(3.14)r³

1.97331787*(3/4)(3.14) = .4713338861

.4713338861 = r ³

r = 0.7782328425158433

r = 0.78

Now that's our final answer ! r = 0.78

Distinguish between sugar and non-sugar with examples.
kap26 [50]

Answer:

Reducing sugars are sugars where the anomeric carbon has an OH group attached that can reduce other compounds. Non-reducing sugars do not have an OH group attached to the anomeric carbon so they cannot reduce other compounds. ... Maltose and lactose are reducing sugars, while sucrose is a non-reducing sugar
