Elements and compounds are substances because we know exactly what is in them. Elements are only one kind of atom and have a symbol. Compounds have a formula telling us exactly how many of what kind of atom make up that compound

Solutions, homogeneous mixtures, not only contain 2 compounds, but we do not know how much of each. We can make salt water with one grain of salt in a cup of water or a drop of water in a cup of salt. Mixtures do not have a formula because they can be any concentration.

What is Dalton's law of partial pressure

Leto [7]

If 3 substances be x,y,z

$\\ \tt\longmapsto P_{net}=P_x+P_y+P_z$

Where

$\\ \tt\longmapsto P_x=\dfrac{n_xRT}{V}$

$\\ \tt\longmapsto P_y=\dfrac{n_yRT}{V}$

$\\ \tt\longmapsto P_z=\dfrac{n_zRT}{V}$

P is partial pressure
n is number of moles
V is volume
T is temperature

Answer:

this question is badly formatted. CO2

Explanation:

the answer is CO2 because C and O are both anions/nonmetals. the other examples contain a cation/metal, so they're ionic compounds

if you have an isotope of the element carbon that has the mass number of 14, what other information would help you determine the

storchak [24]

Isotopes are forms of the same elements which contain equal number of protons but different number of nucleus in their nuclei, thus the differ in relative atomic mass but they have same chemical properties. The mass number is the summation of number of proton and number of neutron of an atom. If the mass number is known, then one need to know the number of proton in the atom in order to calculate for the number of neutron.

write a skeletal equation for the following reaction: An aqueous solution of barium nitrate and an aqueous solution of sodium su

belka [17]

Answer: skeletal equation : $Ba(NO_3)_2(aq)+Na_2SO_4(aq)\rightarrow NaNO_3(aq)+BaSO_4(s)$

The products are sodium nitrate and barium sulphate.

balanced equation : $Ba(NO_3)_2(aq)+Na_2SO_4(aq)\rightarrow 2NaNO_3(aq)+BaSO_4(s)$

Explanation:

A double displacement reaction is one in which exchange of ions take place. The salts which are soluble in water are designated by symbol (aq) and those which are insoluble in water and remain in solid form are represented by (s) after their chemical formulas.

The skeletal equation is:

$Ba(NO_3)_2(aq)+Na_2SO_4(aq)\rightarrow NaNO_3(aq)+BaSO_4(s)$

The balanced chemical equation is:

$Ba(NO_3)_2(aq)+Na_2SO_4(aq)\rightarrow 2NaNO_3(aq)+BaSO_4(s)$
