Answer:

Element: Sulfur ; S

Compound: Water ; H2O

Mixture: Gunpowder ; 2 KNO3 + S + 3 C -> K2S + N2 + 3 CO2

Explanation:

An element is a pure substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances. A periodic table for example has elements.

A compound is a chemical substance that's made of multiple elements held together by chemical bonds. All elements from the periodic table can be combined to make a compound but they have to bond a specific way in order for them to actually make something. Water is the easiest to remember.

A mixture is two or more substances that are physically combined. They are not chemically combined though. There are a few types of mixtures including homogeneous, heterogeneous, etc. Gunpowder is actually a mixture. It contains sulfur, carbon and potassium nitrate.

Don't be afraid to reach out with further questions, I hope this helps!

Which of these conjugate acid-base pairs will not function as a buffer?A) HNO3 and NO3^-B) HCO3^- and CO3^2-C) C2H5COOH and C2H5

marin [14]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

A) HNO3 and NO3^-

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

<em><u>HNO3 is a strong acid and NO3 is its conjugate base, meaning it will not have any tendency to withdraw H+ from solution.</u></em>
Buffers are often prepared by mixing a weak acid or base with a salt of that weak acid or base.
The buffers resist changes in pH since they contain acids to neutralize OH- and a base to neutralize H+. Acid and base can not consume each other in neutralization reaction.
