Answer:

a. glucose in water( solution)

b. smoke in air (colloids)

c. carbon dioxide in air (solution)

d. milk( colloids)

Explanation:

A solution is said to be formed when a solute dissolves in a solvent to form a homogeneous mixture. The solute particles are less than 10^-9m in size. Familiar solutions are those where the solute are dissolved in a liquid solvent. When the liquid water, the solution is known as an aqueous solution. A typical example is (glucose in water). In some other cases, the apparent solution of a solute in a solvent is accompanied by a chemical reaction and this is often known as a chemical reaction. A typical example is (carbon dioxide in air).

Colloids are also known as false solutions. Here, the individual solute particles are larger than the particles of the true solution, but not large enough to be seen by the naked eye. When a light beam is placed beside a beaker containing a colloid, the light rays of the beam can be clearly seen. This shows that it exhibits the Tyndall effect while a solution dosent exhibit such.

In a colloid, the liquid solvent is more appropriately know as the DISPERSION medium while the solid solute particles constitute the DISPERSED substance. This can either be solid, liquid or gas.

For example:

--> smoke in air : Dispersion medium is gas while the dispersed substance is solid.

--> milk: Dispersion medium is liquid while the dispersed substance is liquid.

Many grams of aluminum are required to produce 3.5 moles Al2O3 in the presence of excess O2?
Aleks [24]
The  grams  of aluminum  that are required   to produce  3.5  moles of AlO3  in  presence of excess O2   is calculated as  below

write  the  equation for reaction
4 Al + 3O2 =2 Al2O3

by use of mole  ratio between  Al  to  Al2O3   which  is  4 :2  the moles of  Al 
=3.5 x4/2 = 7  moles

mass of Al  =  moles /   x molar mass

= 7 moles  x27 g/mol  =189  grams

Charle's Law
Setler [38]

Convert temperature to Kelvin

  • 225°C=498K
  • 127°C=400K

Convert vol to L

  • 400mL=0.4L

Apply Charles law

  • V1T_2=V2T_1
  • 0.4(400)=498V_2
  • 160=498V_2
  • V_2=0.32L=320mL
