Answer:

The difference between an element and a compound is that an element is a substance made of same type of atoms, whereas a compound is made of different elements in definite proportions. Examples of elements include iron, copper, hydrogen and oxygen. Examples of compounds include water (H2O) and salt (Sodium Chloride - NaCl)

Explanation:

Further Differences:

Defintion:

Compound - A compound contains atoms of different elements chemically combined together in a fixed ratio.

Element - An element is a pure chemical substance made of same type of atom.

Representation:

Compound - A compound is represented using its chemical formula that represents the symbols of its constituent elements and the number of atoms of each element in one molecule of the compound.

Element - An element is represented using symbols.

Composition:

Compound - Compounds contain different elements in a fixed ratio arranged in a defined manner through chemical bonds. They contain only one type of molecule. Elements that compose the compound are chemically combined.

Element - Elements contain only one type of atom. Each atom has the same atomic number i.e., the same number of protons in their nucleus.

The pressure on 30 milliliters of an ideal gas increases from

Nana76 [90]

V1 = 30 mL

P1 = 760 torr

P2 = 1520 torr

V2 = ?

applying Boyle's Law

P1*V1 = P2*V2

760 torr * 30 mL = 1520 torr * V2

V2 = 760 torr * 30 mL / 1520 torr

( C ) is correct

Calculate the average reaction rate expressed in moles h2 consumed per liter per second

djyliett [7]

Answer:

Average rate of reaction expressed in moles H₂ consumed per liter per second = 0.0025 M/s = 0.0025 mol/L.s

Explanation:

The complete, correct Question, is presented in the attached image to this answer.

The average rate of reaction in terms of the reactant is defined as the total amount of reactant consumed over a period of time divided by total period of time.

Mathematically,

Average rate of reaction = (change in concentration of H₂ over a period of time) ÷ (total period of time)

Average rate of reaction = (-ΔC)/(Δt)

The minus sign is there because the concentration of reactants reduce with time.

change in concentration of H₂ = -ΔC

= -(0.02 - 0.03) = 0.01 M

Time = Δt = 4 - 0 = 4.0 s

Average rate of reaction = (0.01/4) = 0.0025 M/s

We could solve for the average rate of reaction expressed in moles Cl₂ consumed per liter per second

change in concentration of Cl₂ = -ΔC

= -(0.04 - 0.05) = 0.01 M

Time = Δt = 4 - 0 = 4.0 s

Average rate of reaction = (0.01/4) = 0.0025 M/s = 0.0025 mol/L.s

Hope this Helps!!!
