explain why it is a common laboratory procedure to heat analytical reagents and store them in a dessicated atmosphere (a sealed

environment containing a dehumidifying agent) before use.
Chemistry

Explanation:

Most reagent forms are going to absorb water from the air; they're called "hygroscopic".  Water presence can have a drastic impact on the experiment being performed  For fact, it increases the reagent's molecular weight, meaning that anything involving a very specific molarity (the amount of molecules in the final solution) will not function properly.

Heating will help to eliminate water, although some chemicals don't react well to heat, so it shouldn't be used for all.  A dessicated environment is simply a means to  "dry."  That allows the reagent with little water in the air to attach with.

Is combining water and powdered drink mix a chemical reaction?

Answer:

No, it's a physical reaction.

Explanation:

A chemical change produces new chemical compounds, but combining water and powder is just mixing the powder with the water. It's not a new compound.

I don't know how to really explain, sorry :)

Properties of iron, barium, and phosphorus. Explain why nails are made of iron but they are never made of barium or phosphorus.
bearhunter [10]

Nails are made up of iron not of phosphorus and barium.  

As both phosphorous and barium are relatively weaker than iron ,phosphorus breaks easily and barium is also fairly weak. Iron nails are already also not that strong, but their weight and strength are sufficient.  

So the nails are made up of iron.
