Why is air considered a mixture not a compound?

Chemistry
1 answer:
blondinia [14]3 years ago
8 0
<span>The best reason I can think of for why we believe that air is a mixture is that freezing air slowly yields different liquids at different temperatures. Liquid nitrogen has a different boiling point than liquid oxygen. They also freeze at different temperatures. If air were only 1 compound, then air in its entirety would have a single boiling point and a single freezing point. </span>

How many atoms are in a sample of 72.8 g calcium (Ca)?
xxMikexx [17]
Atomic mass Ca = 40.078 a.m.u

40.078 g -------------------- 6.02x10²³ atoms
72.8 g ---------------------- ??

72.8 x ( 6.02x10²³) / 40.078 =

4.38x10²⁵ / 40.078 = 1.093x10²⁴ atoms

hope this helps!

What happens to the mass of substances during a physical change?
Anna [14]

Here are the answers in order:

1. During a physical change the substance changes physically.

2. The law of conservation of mass is a law stating the conservation of mass cannot be higher than 46mg or lower than 32mg.

3. A hypothesis is a guess that you make before completing a science experiment, it can be considered a law because it is important to know why you are making the guess.

4. During a chemical change the mass is changing colors. This is a representation of a chemical change.

5. Oil is a non-renewable resource, so it cannot demonstrate the conservation of mass.

6. When the color of the substance has changed or when it explodes.

7. Reactants are the objects that react when in a chemical change.

8. If you follow the rule of not going higher than 46mg and not lower than 32mg then it will automatically follow this law.

Chemical Reactions Part One Video:

1. mass

2. erupt-ant

3. reactant

4. object

5. mixtures

6. molecules

7. color changed

Questions again:

1. A chemical reaction

2. A physical change

3. Because if it is no higher than 46mg and no lower than 32mg then it will follow on it's own.

Describe the properties of alkali metals. Based on their electronic arrangement, explain whether they exist alone in nature.
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

- They are highly reactive metals

- They have low electro negativity

- They have low ionization energy

- They don't exist alone in nature

- They have low densities

Explanation:

Alkali metals are the elements in group 1 of the periodic table. They include Sodium, Lithium, Potassium e.t.c.

Due to the fact they have one atom in their outermost shell, they are very unstable because they easily react with other elements and are therefore don't exist alone in nature but combined with other elements for this same reason.

Since alkali metals don't easily attract other elements due to it's lone pair in the outer most shell, it can be said to have low electro negativity.

Also, they don't need energy to discharge their electrons since they are highly reactive due to their lone pair in the outermost shell and so we say they have low ionization energy.

Due to this reason, they also have low densities.
