Can sedimentation and decantation be used for all types of mixtures? Explain

Explanation:

1. Sedimentation and decantation cannot be used for all types of mixtures.

Decantation is a separation technique in which is used to separate immiscible liquids or mixtures containing liquid and solids within them.

In decantation, gravity is used to bring the denser materials to settle at the bottom.

For homogenous mixtures, it is not possible to use decantation. A solution of sugar and water will not decant.

2. Yes, mass of an object reduces the settling time of such object in a mixture.

The higher the mass, the faster the rate of settling. Also, as we know, mass is directly proportional to density. A body with a high density will settle faster in solution.

0.000431 L<br><br> Express your answer as an integer.

Molodets [167]

A whole number, not a fraction, that can be negative, positive or zero are integers. They cannot have decimal places.

Now, converting 0.000431 L to decimal an integer as:

$0.000431 L = 431\times 10^{-6} L$

Since, $1 L = 10^{6} \mu L$

So, $431\times 10^{-6} L\times \frac{10^{6 \mu L}}{1 L} = 431 \mu L$ .

Hence, the integer value for 0.000431 L is $431 \mu L[$ .

Why is the Lithium ion (Li+1) stable even though it does not have an octet?

Elan Coil [88]

I think Lithium, an alkali metal with three electrons, is also an exception to the octet rule. Lithium tends to lose one electron to take on the electron configuration of the nearest noble gas, helium, leaving it with two valence electrons. There are two ways in which atoms can satisfy the octet rule

How many moles of helium are needed to fill a balloon to a volume of 6.3 L at 28 °C and 320

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

.11 mol

Explanation:

Convert mmHg to atms by dividing by 760. Then multiply 6.3 by the atms and divide by .08206*(273+28) to get mol
