It is a element.

Pure substances includes either compunds, or elements. Elements are the simplest form of pure substance, they only consist of one kind of atoms. On the other hand, compounds contains two or more elements that are chemically combined together. Although you couldn't separate a compound by physical methods like filtration, but you can seperate them with chemical methods such as heating or electrolysis, using electricity.

Therefore, since compounds can be broken down eventually, so, the answer will be element.

NISA [10]

Answer:

a) The chemical reaction is given as:

$6NaOH(aq)+Al_2(SO_4)_3\rightarrow 2Al(OH)_3(s)+3Na_2SO_4(aq)$

2.571 grams of aluminum hydroxide is precipitated.

Explanation:

a) The chemical reaction is given as:

$6NaOH(aq)+Al_2(SO_4)_3\rightarrow 2Al(OH)_3(s)+3Na_2SO_4(aq)$

Moles of NaOH = n

Volume of the NaOH = 185.5 mL = 0.1855 L( 1 mL =0.001 L)

Molarity of the solution = 0.533 M

$n=0.533 M\times 0.1855 mL=0.09887 mol$

Moles of aluminum = n

15.8 g of aluminum sulfate per liter.

Volume of solution = 627 mL = 0.627 L (1 mL= 0.001 L)

Mass of aluminium sulfate in solution = 15.8 g/L × 0.627 L =9.9066 g

Moles of aluminum sulfate = $\frac{9.9066 g}{342 g/mol}=0.02897 mol$

Moles of NaOH = 0.09887 mol

According to reaction, 6 moles of NaOH reacts with 1 mole of aluminum sulfate, then 0.09887 moles of NaOH will recat with :

$\frac{1}{6}\times 0.09887 mol=0.01648 mol$

This means that sodium hydroxide moles are in limiting amount.So, amount of aluminum hydroxide will depend upon moles of sodium hydroxide.

According to reaction, 6 moles of sodium hydroxide gives 2 moles of aluminium hydroxide, then 0.09887 moles of sodium hydroxide will give :

$\frac{2}{6}\times 0.09887 mol=0.03296 mol$ of aluminum hydroxide

Mass of 0.03296 moles of aluminum hydroxide:

0.03296 mol × 78 g/mol = 2.571 g

2.571 grams of aluminum hydroxide is precipitated.
