Answer:  Air is a homogeneous mixture of gases.

Explanation:  Mixture is a composition in which 2 or more substances are present together without making a chemical bond or a chemical compound between them.

Thus Air qualifies itself as mixture because there are several number of gases present in different composition and different proportions. These gases do not combine with each other to form a chemical compound between them.

Homogeneous mixture is the mixture in which the phase of the mixture is just single phase and it is not possible to separate the components. Thus Air is a homogeneous mixture and its component can never be separated because it forms a single phase.

Air is a mixture of gases (and some dust) because the gases (oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, etc.) do not combine chemically into other compounds. Just like a mixture of salt & pepper doesn't combine into some other thing.  

The mixture is homogenous if it consists only of gases. If dust is mixed in the mixture is heterogeneous (dust is solid matter, gas is gas) A heterogenous mixture is one of different types of matter.  

Separating one gas from the other is different for each gas and a complicated matter.

A student must make a 3 m acid solution using a 5 m acid solution. which of these is the safest way to make the solution?
weqwewe [10]
The motivation to abstain from adding water to concentrated acids is that, with a few acids, amid weakening, a considerable measure of warmth is discharged, by adding the corrosive to the water, the generally extensive measure of water will retain the warmth. On the off chance that you added water to concentrated corrosive when you initially beginning pouring the water, it could get sufficiently hot for the little measure of water that was filled all of a sudden bubble and splatter corrosive on you. Concentrated sulfuric corrosive is most famous for doing this, not all acids get that hot on weakening, but rather in the event that you make a propensity for continually adding the corrosive to water for every one of them, you can't turn out badly.

Which statement is true about the atomic mass?
nikdorinn [45]

the correct answer is A.

Each atom has three sub particles, which are electron, proton and neutron. To get the atomic mass for each atom, one has to add the masses of the proton, neutron and electron in an atom. For each atom, the major contributors to its mass are proton and neutron, this is because the mass of the electron is very small indeed. Thus, the atomic mass of an element is usually in the range of its mass number, which is obtained by the summation of proton and neutron. Since it is the number of proton that indicate an atomic number and it is the mass number that indicate atomic mass, therefore, atomic mass can be greater than the atomic number.

If 2.00g of p-aminophenol ( 109.1 g/mol) reacts with 5.00 ml of acetic anhydride (102.1 g/mol and density = 1.08 g/ml), what mas
inna [77]
The complete reaction is as,

      4-Aminophenol + Acetic Anhydride → <span>Acetaminophen + Acetic Acid

First of all convert the ml of Acetic anhydrite to grams,
As,
                                Density  =  mass / volume
Solving for mass,
                                mass  =  Density </span>× Volume
<span>Putting values,
                                mass  =  1.08 g/ml </span>× 5ml
<span>
                                mass =  5.4 g of acetic anhydride

First Find amount of  acetic anhydride required to react completely with 2 g of p-Aminophenol,
As,
       109.1 g of p-aminophenol required  =  102.1 g of acetic anhydride
so,     2 g of p-aminophenol will require  =  X g of Acetic Anhydride

Solving for X,
                                X  =  (2 g </span>× 102.1 g) ÷ 109.1 g
 
                                X  =  1.87 g of acetic anhydride is required to be reacted.

But, we are provided with 5.4 g of Acetic Anhydride, means p-aminophenol is the limiting reactant and it controls the formation of product. Now Let's calculate for product,
As,
       109.1 g of p-aminophenol produced  =  180.2 g of <span>Acetaminophen
So    2.00 g of p-aminophenol will produce  =  X g of Acetaminophen

Solving for X,
                               X  =  (2.00 g </span>× 180.2 g) ÷ 109.1 g
 
                               X  =  3.30 g of Acetaminophen

Result:
          <span>If 2.00g of p-aminophenol reacts with 5.00 ml of acetic anhydride 3.30 g of acetaminophen is made.</span>
