Molecular is every element present in the compound eg C2H6, empirical is the smallest whole number ratio of elements in a compound so that would be CH3 as you divide by the highest common factor. Some compounds only have 1 formula if they are simple or have no common factors. Eg methane, CH4 is its molecular and empirical because its the simplest whole number ratio and includes every element in the molecule

What type of particle has no mass or charge? <br> A) Alpha <br> B) Beta <br> C) Gamma <br> D) Proton
viva [34]

Answer:

Your answer would be C.

Explanation:

Gamma radiation, unlike alpha or beta, does not consist of any particles, instead consisting of a photon of energy being emitted from an unstable nucleus. Having no mass or charge, gamma radiation can travel much farther through air than alpha or beta, losing (on average) half its energy for every 500 feet.

Why is a homogeneous mixture not considered a pure substance? Question 6 options: A pure substance can be separated by physical
krok68 [10]

1. Why is a homogeneous mixture not considered a pure substance?

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

  • A pure substance can be separated by chemical means, while a mixture can be separated by physical means.

2. What is true if mass is conserved in a reaction?

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

  • There are equal numbers of atoms on both sides.

3. <em>Methane reacts with oxygen then what are the products?</em>

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

  • carbon dioxide and water

4. Which one of the following is not a homogeneous mixture?

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

  • vegetable soup

5. The substance is not uniform in appearance and each part of the mixture contains a combination of different ingredients in different ratios.

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

  • heterogeneous mixtures

6. If a solution is saturated, which of these is true?

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

  • More solvent can be dissolved

7. Which of these substances are molecules?

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

  • All compounds are molecules but not all molecules are compounds. Molecular oxygen (O2) and molecular nitrogen (N2) are not compounds because each is composed of a single element. So correct option is 3 and 4.

8. What makes a solution a homogeneous mixture?

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

  • It is uniform in composition.

9. When a solute is added to a solution, why does it remain homogeneous?

<em>Answer:</em>

  • The solute dissolves.

10. The chemical formula of glucose is C6H12O6, so it is classified as a(n)

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

  • pure substance.

11. <em>How many chlorine (Cl) atoms would be in 4 molecules of salt (4 NaCl)?</em>

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

  • 4

12. <em>In a solution of salt and water, which component is the solute?</em>

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

  • Salt

13. These substances are all   H2O2,   Li , NaCl , O2

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

  • Pure Substances

14. If you have 5 grams of product after a chemical reaction, how many grams of reactants did you have at the start of the reaction?

<em>Answer:</em>

  • 5

15. What is the difference between a compound and a mixture?

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

  • A compound is a pure substance, but a mixture is not.

16. A firework exploding would be an example of a(n) ________.

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

  • Exothermic reaction

17. If Lavoisier heated 100 grams of powdered mercuric oxide to produce 93 grams of liquid mercury, how much oxygen would be released?

Solution

                       2HgO ==> 2Hg + O2

Mass of HgO = 100 g

Molar mass of HgO = 216.59 g/mol

Moles = mass/molar mass = 0.46 moles

From balance chemcial equation

   HgO :  O2

      2  =    1

    0.46 = (1 × 0.46 ) ÷ 2 = 0.23 moles

mass of O2 = moles× molar mass = 0.23 × 32 = 7.36 g

18. Using the Law of Conservation of Matter, determine the number of grams of iron sulfide (FeS) that will be produced in this reaction.

<em><u>Solution</u></em>

                         12g Fe + 64g S → _____ g FeS

  • According to Law of Conservation of Matter, The total mass of reactant is equal to total mass of  product , so the number of grams of iron sulfide (FeS) that will be produced in this reaction as follow.

                              12 + 64 = 76 g of FeS


Hope this Help.
