What are the general characteristics of substances chemists use to separate mixtures into individual substances?

1 answer:

5 0

Generally, chemists separate components of substances by taking advantage of the properties of the substances that are unique to each one.
For instance, to separate a mixture of salt and stones, a chemist will pour the mixture in water. He does this, because he is taking advantage of the fact that stones will not dissolve in water, only salt will.

Lilit [14]

Decay is a type of degradation reaction and thus is considered a first order reaction. thus the formula goes like this.

rate constant= 0.693/half life

so here...

rate constant= 0.693/1620 year^-1

Identify the products in the equation below (the “I” is Iodine—to differentiate capital “I” from lowercase “l”)

Inessa [10]

Answer : The products are Silver sulfide, $(Ag_2S)$ and Sodium iodide, $(NaI)$ .

Explanation :

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

$2AgI+Na_2S\rightarrow Ag_2S+2NaI$

From the given balanced reaction, we conclude that the 2 moles of silver iodide react with the 1 mole of sodium sulfide to give product as 1 mole of silver sulfide and 2 moles of sodium iodide.

In a chemical reaction, reactants are represent on the left side of the right-arrow and products are represent on the right side of the right-arrow.

Therefore, in a chemical reaction the products are Silver sulfide and Sodium iodide.
