These substances are all ____. H2O2 Li NaCl O2
Bogdan [553]

Answer: pure substances.


Explanation:


The given substances are:

  • H₂O₂
  • Li
  • NaCl
  • O₂

All what surrounds us, which has mass and occupies spaces, is matter. There are two kind of matter: pure substances and mixtures.


Pure substances have a uniform and constant composition. On the other hand, mixtures are combinations of two or more pure substances in  any arbitratry ratio.


Pure substances may be elements or compounds. The elements are the substances conmposed by one only kind of atom. In the list of substances given, Li and O₂ are elements: all the atoms in Li are lithium, and all the atoms in O₂ are oxygen atoms.


Compounds are the chemical combination of two or more different kind of atoms. In the given list H₂O₂ and NaCl are compounds. As you see, H₂O₂ contains atoms of hydrogen and oxygen, chemically bonded, in a fixed ratio (2 atoms of hydrogen by 2 atoms of oxygen). And NaCl has atoms of Na (sodium) and Cl (chlorine), chemicaly bonded, in a fixed ratio (1:1).


There are only 118 known elements and you can find them in any modern periodic table. Therer are virtually infinitely many compounds since many different combinations of the elements can be attained.


Elements and compounds have in common that they are classified as pure substances.

Calculate the freezing point of a solution containing 5.0 grams of KCl and 550.0 grams of water. The molal-freezing-point-depres
yulyashka [42]

<u>Answer:</u> The freezing point of solution is -0.454°C

<u>Explanation:</u>

Depression in freezing point is defined as the difference in the freezing point of pure solution and freezing point of solution.

The equation used to calculate depression in freezing point follows:

\Delta T_f=\text{Freezing point of pure solution}-\text{Freezing point of solution}

To calculate the depression in freezing point, we use the equation:

\Delta T_f=iK_fm

Or,

\text{Freezing point of pure solution}-\text{Freezing point of solution}=i\times K_f\times \frac{m_{solute}\times 1000}{M_{solute}\times W_{solvent}\text{ (in grams)}}

where,

Freezing point of pure solution = 0°C

i = Vant hoff factor = 2

K_f = molal freezing point elevation constant = 1.86°C/m

m_{solute} = Given mass of solute (KCl) = 5.0 g

M_{solute} = Molar mass of solute (KCl) = 74.55 g/mol

W_{solvent} = Mass of solvent (water) = 550.0 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0-\text{Freezing point of solution}=2\times 1.86^oC/m\times \frac{5\times 1000}{74.55g/mol\times 550}\\\\\text{Freezing point of solution}=-0.454^oC

Hence, the freezing point of solution is -0.454°C

Electron X can change to a higher energy level or a lower energy level. Which statement is true of electron X?
rosijanka [135]

Answer: 2) Electron X absorbs energy when it changes to a higher energy level.

Explanation:

The electrons in an atom exist in various energy levels. When an electron moves from a lower energy level to a higher energy level, energy is absorbed by the atom. When an electron moves from a higher to a lower energy level, energy is released (often as light).
