Mixtures can be classified as <u>homogeneous </u>or <u>heterogeneous</u>.
Neither a weak acid nor a weak base has a strong tendency to transfer H+ ions that is why<span> weak acid-weak base reactions not go to completion.</span>
Just look at the number in front also called coefficient (you have to balance the equations first, but all the questions here are balanced, so no worries). for q1.
in the balanced equation, the number in front of aluminum oxide is 2 (2 - this number Al2O3) and for aluminium is 4 as in (4 Al). so the ratio is 2:4. simplified it is 1:2. or write it out fully
2 Al2O3: 4 Al
ignore everything after the number.
2:4
same as 1:2
Aluminium oxide to oxygen
2 Al2O3: 3 O2
2:3
aluminum to oxygen
4 Al: 3 O2
4:3
question 2
Mercury oxide to Mercury
2 HgO : 2 Hg
2:2
same as 1:1
Mercury oxide to oxygen
2 HgO : O2
since oxygen in this case does not have a number written in front of it, the default is 1.
2: 1.
you should be able to do the rest
It is a element.
Pure substances includes either compunds, or elements. Elements are the simplest form of pure substance, they only consist of one kind of atoms. On the other hand, compounds contains two or more elements that are chemically combined together. Although you couldn't separate a compound by physical methods like filtration, but you can seperate them with chemical methods such as heating or electrolysis, using electricity.
Therefore, since compounds can be broken down eventually, so, the answer will be element.
