The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Suna passes an electric current through a sample of clear, colorless, and odorless liquid. As the experiment continues, bubbles form, and the volume of liquid decreases. Suna collects samples of two colorless, odorless gases that bubble out of the liquid. One of the gases burns. Neither the original liquid nor the other gas burns. Which is the best explanation of her results? The electric current changed some of the sample to gas even though the sample was not breaking down. Therefore, the original liquid is a compound. The electric current released a gas that was odorless and colorless, like the original sample. Therefore, the original liquid is an element. The sample was broken down by the electric current and formed a new substance that could burn. Therefore, the original liquid is a compound. The sample lost some of its volume, but the gas still had the same chemical makeup as the original sample. Therefore, the original liquid is an element.

Answer:

The sample was broken down by the electric current and formed a new substance that could burn. Therefore, the original liquid is a compound.

Explanation:

When electric current is passed through a compound, the compound may become broken down to release its constituents. We refer to this phenomenon as electrolysis. We can now say that the substance has been 'decomposed' electrolytically.

Since the original sample was decomposed to yield a gas that could burn and one that couldn't burn even though the original sample couldn't burn, then the original sample is a compound.

PLS ANSWER FAST AHAH<br><br> distilled water is a pure substance <br> true or false ?
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

If you see distilled water, it's a pure substance. That means that there are only water molecules in the liquid. A mixture would be a glass of water with other things dissolved inside, like one of those powders you take if you get sick or Kool-Aid.

Why must there be two chlorine atoms for every one calcium atom
Nady [450]

Answer:

There must be two Chlorine atoms for every one Calcium atom in order to fulfill Chlorine's octet rule and pair Calcium's unpaired electrons.

Explanation:

Calcium has two unpaired electrons in its Lewis dot structure, while Chlorine has one unpaired electron.

<em>So why can't we just make a double bond for </em><em>one</em><em> Chlorine?</em>

Chlorine has seven valence electrons, so once it shares electrons with Calcium, the octet rule is accomplished, and no more pairs can be made.

Al wonders if adding salt to water will affect how long it takes the water to
love history [14]

The hypothesis is that salt water freezes faster than fresh water.

The dependent variable is time taken for ice to appear.

The independent variable is presence or absence of salt

The constants are the amount of water in each tray, freezing conditions and length of time of exposure to freezing condition.

The control group is the tray to which salt was not added

The experimental group is the tray to which salt was added

The presence of solutes in a solution causes the freezing point depression.

A solution is made up of a solute and a solvent. In the presence of a solute, the freezing point of a pure solvent is decreased. This is because freezing point is a colligative property.

Colligative properties depend on the amount of solute present.

Hence, the pure water freezes faster (ice begin to appear earlier) than the salt water.

The hypothesis put forward in this experiment was found to be invalid by the experiment.

For more about colligative properties, see

in chlorine gas, two chlorine atoms join to form a Cl2 (chlorine 2) molecule. How many pairs of valence electrons do the atoms s
vladimir2022 [97]
Since each Chlorine molecule is -1 and wants to gain an electron, 2 Chlorine atoms like to come together to form Cl2 by sharing 2 electrons each to form a single bond between the 2 atoms. Since both Chlornine has the same electronegativity, the bond is non-polar covalent since there electrons are evenly shared.
