How do scientists distinguish between an element and a compound?

1 answer:

8 0

An element is just consisted of one type of atom and cannot be broken down by chemicals (Ex. Oxygen just has the oxygen molecule)

A compound is when there's a mixture of atoms and can be broken down by chemicals (Ex. NaCl is made up of sodium and chloride atoms)

3. How would you expect the density of the gummy bear to change if you soaked it in isopropanol (rubbing alcohol, density

77julia77 [94]

Change occurs in the density of the gummy bear to change if we soaked it in isopropanol.

<h3>Effects on density by soaking isopropanol</h3>

We expect the density of the gummy bear to change if we soaked it in isopropanol because the gummy bear absorb the liquid which increase its density due to increasing weight of the gummy bear.

If a substance gains weight then its density also increases and we know that when the gummy bear was soaked in the isopropanol then its weight increases so its density is also changes so we can conclude that change occurs in the density of the gummy bear to change if we soaked it in isopropanol.

NH_{4}Cl and NaCl<br> Balanced Equation<br> Total Ionic Equation<br> Net Ionic Equation

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

Based on compounds given, NO reaction occurs

Explanation

The compounds should exchange ions to generate a driving force that pulls the reaction to completion. => Example ...

The Molecular Equation is ...

NH₄Cl(aq) + AgNO₃(aq) => NH₄NO₃(aq) + AgCl(s)

Silver chloride forms in this reaction as a solid precipitate because of its low solubility and is the 'Driving Force' of the reaction. Driving Force is a more stable compound than any on the reactant side and when formed leaves the reaction system as a solid ppt, liquid weak electrolyte (i.e., weak acid or weak base) or a gas decomposition product of a weak electrolyte.

The Ionic Equation is ...

NH₄⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq) + Ag⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq) => NH₄⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq) + AgCl(s)

This shows all ions from reaction plus the Driving Force of the reaction.

The Net Ionic Equation is ...

Ag⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq) => AgCl(s)

The Net Ionic Equation shows only those ions undergoing reaction. The NH₄⁺ and NO₃⁻ ions are 'Spectator Ions' and do not react.

Attached is a reference sheet for determining the Driving Force of a Metathesis Double Replacement Reaction. Suggest reviewing acid-base theories and the products of decomposition type reactions.

A researcher selects three regions X, Y, and Z, and records the types of discharge that enter the regions’ rivers.

elixir [45]

Region Z should be monitored more closely to avoid health issues.

<h3>Why region Z should be monitored?</h3>

Region Z should be monitored more closely to avoid potential health issues because region Z produces waste from chemical plants which are dangerous for our water and environment so we can conclude that Region Z should be monitored more closely in order to avoid health issues.
