Why are chemists interested in studying thermochemistry? a. Heat is often absorbed during reactions.b. Heat is often released du
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

a. Heat is often absorbed during reactions.

c. Heat is often released during chemical reactions.

Explanation:

Thermochemistry -

The study of thermochemistry involve the change in the amount of heat , during any physical or chemical process , is referred to as thermodynamics .

The focus of thermochemistry is on the changing amount of energy in the form of heat , on the system with respect to the surroundings .

The process like boiling , melting , sublimation , may require energy or releases energy , and hence are studied under thermochemistry .

Hence , from the given question ,

The correct options are -  a , c.

Classify the following as either solutions or colloids. If a colloid, name the type of colloid and identify both the dispersed a
aev [14]

Answer:

a. glucose in water( solution)

b. smoke in air (colloids)

c. carbon dioxide in air (solution)

d. milk( colloids)

Explanation:

A solution is said to be formed when a solute dissolves in a solvent to form a homogeneous mixture. The solute particles are less than 10^-9m in size. Familiar solutions are those where the solute are dissolved in a liquid solvent. When the liquid water, the solution is known as an aqueous solution. A typical example is (glucose in water). In some other cases, the apparent solution of a solute in a solvent is accompanied by a chemical reaction and this is often known as a chemical reaction. A typical example is (carbon dioxide in air).

Colloids are also known as false solutions. Here, the individual solute particles are larger than the particles of the true solution, but not large enough to be seen by the naked eye. When a light beam is placed beside a beaker containing a colloid, the light rays of the beam can be clearly seen. This shows that it exhibits the Tyndall effect while a solution dosent exhibit such.

In a colloid, the liquid solvent is more appropriately know as the DISPERSION medium while the solid solute particles constitute the DISPERSED substance. This can either be solid, liquid or gas.

For example:

--> smoke in air : Dispersion medium is gas while the dispersed substance is solid.

--> milk: Dispersion medium is liquid while the dispersed substance is liquid.

Which of the following observations would indicate that a material is a pure substance?
Ira Lisetskai [31]
<span>The answer to the question is the option C. it cannot be physically broken down into different types of atoms. This means that the material is an element, which is a pure substance. Because an element is a pure substance that is formed by one only type of atoms. For example, gold is an element and all its atoms are of the same type. That is also true for any of the 118 elements of the periodic table. Compounds (other kind of pure substances) can be broken down into molecules (which contain different kind of atoms, but always in the same proportion) and mixtures (non pure substances) have different kind of substances.</span>
