Should a mortar and pestle should be used for grinding only one substance at a time
MatroZZZ [7]
The mortar and pestle is most commonly used in chemical laboratories or in the kitchen. Its key function is to grind the material into smaller pieces, usually into its powdered form. It looks like that shown in the picture. The mortar is the bowl in which the material to be pounded is placed, and the pestle does the pounding.

Now, when you ask if it can only pound one at a time, my honest answer is, it depends. Depending on the size of your mortar, you could grind materials two or three at a time. But if you are concerned with contamination, then you do it one at a time, especially if you don't want them to get mixed up.

One difference between mixtures and pure substances is that
defon

Answer:

The mixture is made up of different atoms and pure substance is made up of same type of atom.

The main difference is that mixture can be separated into its component by physical mean while pure substances can not be separated by physical process

Explanation:

Mixture:

  • The properties of the mixture are not same and contains the properties of all those component present in it.
  • it is a combination of one or more Pure substances and can be separated by simple physical methods.
  • it have varying boiling and melting point

Examples are:

  • mixture of salt and sand
  • Salt water is mixture of water and NaCl and can be separated by physical mean.
  • Alloys: its a mixture of different metal
  • Air: mixture of gases

Pure Substance:

Pure substances are those made of same type of atoms all elements and compounds are pure substances.

  • it can not be separated by simple physical mean
  • it have very constant and consistent melting and boiling point

Examples are:

  • Water : contain only water molecule
  • All elements: all elements are pure substance made of same atoms
  • All compounds: can not be separated by physical mean.

Bismuth oxide reacts with carbon to form bismuth metal: bi2o3(s) + 3c(s) → 2bi(s) + 3co(g) when 689 g of bi2o3 reacts with exces
ExtremeBDS [4]
Using the answer from the first part, we know that 2.957 moles of bismuth have formed. Moreover, the molar ratio between bismuth and carbon monoxide is:

2 : 3

Using the method of ratios,

2 : 3
2.957 : CO

CO = (3 * 2.957) / 2
CO = 4.4355

4.436 moles of carbon monoxide will be formed
