Is clear water pumped from a deep aquifer a pure substance?

Chemistry

Alexandra [31]3 years ago

The substance which has definite composition with definite physical and chemical properties is said to be pure substance. These substances are not separated by the different physical techniques such as filtration, distillation, evaporation etc.

The clear water pumped from a deep aquifer is a pure substance because water is a pure compound which consist of constant single type of atoms or group of atoms and water has specific value of boiling and melting point. Water is also not separated into units or constituents by physical technique.

Hence, clear water pumped from a deep aquifer is a pure substance.

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

As pure substances are substances that are formed directly by elements and water is directly formed by the union of two elements which is Oxygen and hydrogen, H2O is the formula and that is a pure substance as it is conformed mainly by only these two elements, so the question would be Yes, clear water pumped from a deep aquifer is a pure substance.

Explain the difference between commensalism,parasitism,and mutualism and give examples of each
vaieri [72.5K]
Commercialism is when one benefits while the other gets no harm nor benefit.
Example: the Remora rides attached to bigger types of fish or shark and eat the remains of meals left behind from the organism they are attached to. 

Parasitism is when benefits and the other is harmed. 
Example: A tape worm feeds off the intestines and eat what the host eats, killing the host because they are deprived of nutrients. 

Mutualism is when both benefit.
Example: when a bird is allowed to peck the food from a rhinos mouth to help the rhinos teeth and allows the birth food.

If you were asked to convert 25 cg to the unit hg, which of the following would be the first fraction used in the conversion? on
zhannawk [14.2K]
We are asked to convert 25 cg to units of hg.

1 cg = 1 centigram = 10⁻² g
1 hg = 1 hectogram = 10² g

The options given are:

a) 1 hg/ 10² g
b) 10² cg/ 1 hg
c) 10² hg/ 1 cg
d) 10⁻² g/ 1 cg

To convert 25 cg to 1 hg, we could convert the 25 cg to grams first, then grams to hg.

25 cg · 10⁻² g/ 1cg = 0.25 g

Here we have converted our number from cg to grams. We can use another conversion of grams to hg to complete the conversion.

0.25 g · 1 hg/ 10² g = 0.0025 hg

Therefore, the first conversion we used was d) 10⁻² g/ 1 cg.

Give the meaning of each of the following symbols when used in a chemical equation.
nlexa [21]

Reaction arrows are used to describe the state or progress of a reaction. 2.1 The Chemical Reaction Arrow. The chemical reaction arrow is one straight arrow pointing from reactant(s) to product(s) and by-products, sometimes along with side products. A → B. It is the most widely used arrow.

Boron is a chemical element with the symbol B and atomic number 5. Produced entirely by cosmic ray spallation and supernovae and not by stellar nucleosynthesis, it is a low-abundance element in the Solar System and in the Earth's crust

The C5 (C5) fraction is a co-product of naphtha cracking and is used as a raw material for synthetic rubber and petroleum resins.

Deuterium

Deuterium is frequently represented by the chemical symbol D. Since it is an isotope of hydrogen with mass number 2, it is also represented by 2. H. .

Unimolecular Elimination (E1) is a reaction in which the removal of an HX substituent results in the formation of a double bond. It is similar to a unimolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction (SN1) in various ways. One being the formation of a carbocation intermediate.

Aqueous (aq.): In the presence of water, often meaning water is the solvent. Aqueous NaCl. Anhydrous NaCl.

Hydrogen is the chemical element with the symbol H and atomic number 1. ... Since hydrogen readily forms covalent compounds with most nonmetallic elements, most of the hydrogen on Earth exists in molecular forms such as water or organic compounds.

Catalyst, in chemistry, any substance that increases the rate of a reaction without itself being consumed. Enzymes are naturally occurring catalysts responsible for many essential biochemical reactions.

Kp is the equilibrium constant calculated from the partial pressures of a reaction equation. It is used to express the relationship between product pressures and reactant pressures. It is a unitless number, although it relates the pressures.

Hope this helps a bit?

Write the empirical formula for at least four ionic compounds that could be formed from the following ions:
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

Fe(CN)₂,  FeCO₃,  Pb(CN)₄,  Pb(CO₃)₂

Explanation:

Cations (positively charged ions) can only form ionic bonds with anions (negatively charged ions). However, you can't just simply put one cation and one anion together to form a compound. Each compound needs to been neutral, or have an overall charge of 0. When cations and anions do not have charges that perfectly cancel, you need to modify the amount of each ion in the compound.

1.) Fe(CN)₂
-----> Fe²⁺ and CN⁻

-----> +2 + (-1) + (-1) = 0

2.) FeCO₃

-----> Fe²⁺ and CO₃²⁻

-----> +2 + (-2) = 0

3.)  Pb(CN)₄

-----> Pb⁴⁺ and CN⁻

-----> +4 + (-1) + (-1) + (-1) + (-1) = 0

4.) Pb(CO₃)₂

-----> Pb⁴⁺ and CO₃²⁻

-----> +4 +(-2) + (-2) = 0

Cytochromes are critical participants in the electron transport chains used in photosynthesis and cellular respiration. How do c
goblinko [34]

Answer:

4) Each cytochrome has an iron‑containing heme group that accepts electrons and then donates the electrons to a more electronegative substance.

Explanation:

The cytochromes are <u>proteins that contain heme prosthetic groups</u>. Cytochromes <u>undergo oxidation and reduction through loss or gain of a single electron by the iron atom in the heme of the cytochrome</u>:

Cytochrome-Fe²⁺ ⇄ cytochrome-Fe³⁺-e⁻

The reduced form of ubiquinone (QH₂), an extraordinarily mobile transporter, transfers electrons to cytochrome reductase, a complex that contains cytochromes <em>b</em> and <em>c₁</em>, and a Fe-S center. This second complex reduces cytochrome <em>c</em>, a water-soluble membrane peripheral protein. Cytochrome <em>c</em>, like ubiquinone (Q), is a mobile electron transporter, which is transferred to cytochrome oxidase. This third complex contains the cytochromes <em>a</em>, <em>a₃</em> and two copper ions. Heme iron and a copper ion of this oxidase transfer electrons to O₂, as the last acceptor, to form water.

Each transporter "downstream" is <u>more electronegative</u><u> than its neighbor </u>"upstream"; oxygen is located in the inferior part of the chain. Thus, the <u>electrons fall in an energetic gradient</u> in the electron chain transport to a more stable localization in the <u>electronegative oxygen atom</u>.
