Explanation:

An element is defined as a substance that contains same type of atoms which cannot be broken down into simpler substances.

A compound is defined as a substance that contains more than two different atoms in a fixed ratio by mass. Elements of a compound are chemically combined together.

A homogeneous mixture is defined as a mixture in which solute particles are uniformly distributed into the solvent.

Whereas a heterogeneous mixture is defined as a mixture in which solute particles are non-uniformly distributed in a solvent.

In both homogeneous and heterogeneous mixture there is no chemical combination between solute and solvent particles.

Hence, the given species are classified as follows.

(a) Sea water : It contains decays of dead plants and animals. As a result, these are suspended into the water. Hence, sea water is a heterogeneous mixture.

(b) Helium gas : It contains only atoms of helium. Hence, it is an element.

(c) Sodium chloride (salt) : It is a compound in which sodium and chlorine atoms are present in 1:1 ratio.

(d) A bottle of soft drink : As soft drinks contain a clear solution with no suspended particles. Hence, it is a homogeneous mixture.

(e) a milkshake : It contains different elements which are evenly distributed in the milk. Hence, milk shake is a homogeneous mixture.

(f ) air in a bottle : As air in a bottle will not contain any smoke or fog. So, there will be even distribution of all the gases present in air. Hence, it is a homogeneous mixture.

(g) concrete : It contains cement, fine aggregates, coarse aggregates, water and other particles that are not evenly distributed. Hence, concrete is a heterogeneous mixture.

Answer:

(a) Homogeneous mixture.

(b) Element.

(c) Compound.

(d) Homogeneous mixture.

(e) Homogeneous or heterogeneous depending on the milkshake type.

(f) Homogeneous mixture.

(g) Heterogeneous mixture.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, one must remember that elements stand for single atoms of one particular element from the periodic table, compounds are constituted by two or more different bonded elements, homogeneous mixtures are substances composed by two or more indistinguishable elements and/or compounds and heterogeneous mixtures are substances composed by two or more distinguishable elements and/or compounds. In such a way:

- Seawater is clear but it has water and other dissolved minerals, therefore,  one states that it is an homogeneous mixture.

- Helium gas stands for a single atom of helium since it is monoatomic, therefore it is an element.

- Sodium chloride is a compound constituted by one atom of chlorine and one atom of sodium chemically bonded.

- The bottle of soft drink could be a homogeneous mixture since it has no distinguishable particles.

- The milkshake could be either homogeneous or heterogeneous depending on the shaking degree, there are some milkshakes that are just liquid, but there are others that have some toppings which make them heterogeneous.

- The air in a bottle is a homogeneous mixture since air is majorly composed by nitrogen (79%) and oxygen (20%), the rest are other gases such as methane, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, argon and others as traces.

- The concrete is a heterogeneous mixture constituted by cement, water, fine aggregates and coarse aggregates.

Best regards.

What is the molarity of a NaCl stock used to make 750 ml of a dilute 10 mM solution if 5 ml of the concentrated solution was use
ch4aika [34]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

          M_{1} = 10 mM = 10 \times 10^{-3} M

          V_{1} = 750 ml,           V_{2} = 5 ml

          M_{2} = ?

Therefore, calculate the molarity of given NaCl stock as follows.

                  M_{1} \times V_{1} = M_{2} \times V_{2}

                  10 \times 10^{-3} \times 750 ml = M_{2} \times 5 ml

                   M_{2} = 1.5 M

Thus, we can conclude that molarity of given NaCl stock is 1.5 M.

2 H2 + 2 NO → N2 + 2 H2O the observed rate expression, under some conditions, is: rate = k[NO]2 Which of the following mechanism
guapka [62]

Explanation:

Rate law is defined as the rate of a reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of reactants at constant temperature.

               Rate \propto [\text{concentration of reactant}]^{n}

                                  = k [\text{concentration of reactant}]^{n}

where,     k = rate constant

                n = order of reaction

For the given reaction, 2H_{2} + 2NO \rightarrow N_{2} + 2H_{2}O

Hence, its rate will be as follows.

                   Rate = k[H_{2}][NO]

Also, it is known that slowest step in a chemical reaction is the rate determining step.

Hence, for the given rate law correct reaction is as follows.

Step 1 : H_{2} + NO \rightarrow N + H_{2}O (slow)

Balancing this equation it becomes H_{2} + 2NO \rightarrow N_{2}O + H_{2}O (slow)

Step 2: N_{2}O + H_{2} \rightarrow N_{2} + H_{2}O (fast)

Which of the following statements is true?
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Air is a good insulator because the molecules are far apart. This reduces mobility of air molecules hence conduction is difficult.

Explanation:

For other statements :

  • All the suns radiations are not reflected back to space because the ozone layer of the earth's atmosphere which regulates the intensity of radiations from the sun, it is transparent and porous hence heat and light rays from sun enter earth.
  • Work is only done by potential energy when the body is under free fall and experiencing gravitational force, but for a body moving without influence of gravity, work is done by the force applied and the distance moved by the body. This force is called a <em><u>c</u></em><em><u>o</u></em><em><u>n</u></em><em><u>s</u></em><em><u>e</u></em><em><u>r</u></em><em><u>v</u></em><em><u>a</u></em><em><u>t</u></em><em><u>i</u></em><em><u>v</u></em><em><u>e</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>f</u></em><em><u>o</u></em><em><u>r</u></em><em><u>c</u></em><em><u>e</u></em><em><u>.</u></em>
  • Total mechanical energy is given by

= <em><u>Kinetic energy + Potential energy</u></em>
