What is the difference between Mixtures and Compounds? I am trying to study for my Science quiz on Tuesday, and I need to know t

he difference between the two. Also, my teacher used cake as an example, but I am confused on which one it is because if you just mixed it in a bowl, it would be a Mixture right? But if it's baked, it would be a compound right?

A mixture can be separated.  Everything in a mixture keeps it's own properties and are not chemically joined together.  I am not completely sure about the compound.  Although with the cake example, the ingredients have been mixed and kind of "fused" together upon baking. Hope this helps a little. (P.S. trail mix is a good example of a mixture.)

The cylinder of aluminum in class was approximately 13mm in circumference and 42mm in length. What would be it's approximate mas
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Mass, m = 1.51 grams

Explanation:

It is given that,

The circumference of Aluminium cylinder, C = 13 mm = 1.3 cm

Length of the cylinder, h = 4.2 cm

We know that the density of the Aluminium is 2.7 g/cm³

Circumference, C = 2πr

r=\dfrac{C}{2\pi}\\\\r=\dfrac{1.3}{2\pi}\\\\r=0.206\ cm

Density is equal to mass per unit volume.

d=\dfrac{m}{V}

m is mass of the cylinder

V is the volume of the cylinder

V=\pi r^2h\\\\V=\dfrac{22}{7}\times0.206^2\times 4.2\\\\V=0.5601\ cm^3

So,

m=d\times V\\\\m=2.7\times 0.5601\\\\m=1.51\ g

So, the mass of the cylinder is 1.51 grams.

How many nuclei of 238 92 U 92 238 U remain in a rock if the activity registers 290 decays per second?(Note that the half life o
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

Use the activity formula,  

T1/2 = 4.468 x 10^9 yr x 365 x 24 x 3600 = 1.409 x 10^17 sec  

l = ln(2)/T1/2 = ln(2)/1.409 x 10^17 = 4.91932697 x 10^-18 s-1  

DN/Dt = lN, 265 = 4.91932697 x 10^-18 x N  

<u><em>N = 5.38 x 10^19 nuclei</em></u>

The percent of remaining parent isotope in a radioactive decay process is 40 percent. How many half-lives have elapsed since the
muminat

Answer: Between 1 and 2.

Explanation:

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

a=\frac{a_o}{2^n}        ............(1)

where,

a = amount of reactant left after n-half lives  = 40

a_o = Initial amount of the reactant  = 100

n = number of half lives

Putting in the values we get:

40=\frac{100}{2^n}  

2^n=2.5

taking log on both sides

nlog(2)=log(2.5)

n=1.32

Thus half-lives that have elapsed is between 1 and 2

In this lab, you will use the flame test to identify the metal ion in two boxes of unidentified fireworks. Write an investigativ
Rasek [7]
In a flame photometric analysis, salt solution is first vaporized using the heat of flame, followed by this electrons from valance shell gets excited from ground state to excited state. Followed by this de-excitation of electron bring backs electrons to ground state. This process is accompanied by emission of photon. The photon emitted is characteristic of an element, and number of photons emitted can be used for quantitative analysis. 

<span>Following are the investigative question that you can answer by doing this experiment.
</span>1) What information can be obtained from the colour of flame?
2) <span>State the relationship between wavelength, frequency, and energy?
</span><span>3) Can you identify the metal present in unknown sample provided?
4) How will you identify amount of metal present in sample solution?
5) </span><span>Why do different chemicals emit light of different colour?</span><span>

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

The switch is used to <u>disconnect</u> or <u>connect</u> an electrical circuit. When the switch is on, the circuit is <u>complete</u>, and when the switch is <u>off</u>, the circuit is open. Electrical current exists in the circuit when it is closed, but when it is open, there is no <u>electrical</u> current in the circuit. The switch determines whether the circuit is open and closed.
