Using the coarse adjustment knob of the microscope in high power may lead to the breaking of the slide if adjusted and raised the slide too much which can damage the sample as well as the high power lens.
In this case, I would recommend using the fine adjustment knob and moving away from the end of the viewing area of the microscope so there would no collision take place. The fine adjustment will help to get a clear image.
ok thank you for elaborating and you are correct in a neutralization reaction the reactants are the acid and base. the salt and water would be the product and the two elements could be anything meaning that it is most likely a mixture
Solid- molecules vibrate in place and tightly packed liquid-molecules fur shape of container and can slide past each other gas-molecules also fit shape of container and have the most room
