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.

Which of these has the most covalent character? <br> NaF Caf2 Bef2 CsF SrF2
Ksenya-84 [330]

Thus BeF2 is of most covalent character.

Anyways, covalent/ionic character is a bit tricky to figure out; we measure the difference in electronegativity of two elements bonding together and we use the following rule of thumb: if the charge is 0 (or a little more), the bond is non-polar covalent; if the charge is > 0 but < 2.0 (some references say 1.7), the bond is polar covalent; if the charge is > 2.0 then the bond is ionic. Covalent character refers to smaller electronegativity difference while ionic character refers to greater electronegativity difference.


Now, notice all of our bonds are with F, fluorine, which has the highest electronegativity of 3.98. This means that to determine character we need to consider the electronegativities of the other elements -- whichever has the greatest electronegativity has the least difference and most covalent character.
Na, sodium, has electronegativity of 0.93, so our difference is ~3 -- meaning our bond is ionic. Ca, calcium, has 1.00, leaving our difference to again be ~3 and therefore the bond is ionic. Be, beryllium, has 1.57 yielding a difference of ~2.5, meaning we're still dealing with ionic bond. Cs, cesium, has 0.79, meaning our difference is again ~3 and therefore again our compound is of ionic bond. Lastly, we have Sr, strontium, with an electronegativity of 0.95 and therefore again a difference of roughly 3 and an ionic bond. <span>
