Answer: The correct option is B.

Explanation:

An element is the simplest substance which cannot be divided further and is made up from only one type of atoms. Example: oxygen, nitrogen etc.

A compound is defined as a substance which is formed by the combination of two or more elements in a fixed ratio. Example: CO_2,H_2O etc.

A mixture is formed by the combination of elements or compounds in a non-uniform ratio. Example: Salt in water

Option A: Steel is a alloy of 96% iron, carbon and many other elements. This is a homogeneous mixture of more than 2 elements. Hence, it is considered as a mixture because elements are not present in a fixed ratio.

Option B: Formula for sugar is C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}. This is a compound made from the elements: Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen in a fixed ratio of 12 : 22: 11. Hence, it is considered as a compound.

Option C: Air is a mixture of many gases. Gases present in air are nitrogen, oxygen, argon , carbon dioxide etc. These gases are not present in fixed ratio.

Option D: Nitrogen is the simplest unit of substance. It is considered as an element.

Hence, the correct option is B.

How do tectonic plates move at convergent subduction boundaries? Insert a drawing with the arrows that show the movement
boyakko [2]

Answer:

If two tectonic plates collide, they form a convergent plate boundary. Usually, one of the converging plates will move beneath the other, a process known as subduction. ... As the sinking plate moves deeper into the mantle, fluids are released from the rock causing the overlying mantle to partially melt.

Which of these methods could be used to separate an insoluble solid from a soluble solid? Melting the mixture and then using a f
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer : The correct option is "Mixing the mixture with water, filtering out the insoluble solid, and then evaporating the water to isolate the soluble solid.

Explanation :

"The given mixture contains a soluble solid and an insoluble solid.

When water is added to this mixture, the soluble solid will get dissolved in water whereas the insoluble solid will remain as it is.

This will give us a heterogeneous mixture where we can see 2 distinct phases , one containing the dissolved solid and the other having undissolved solid.

In order to separate these 2 phases, we can use a simple filtration method.

When the mixture is filtered, we will get solution having soluble solid and the insoluble solid will remain on the filter paper.

This will separate the 2 solids.

To regenerate the dissolved solid, we can evaporate the water by heating it. This will give us back our original soluble solid.

Therefore, the only option that is consistent with this method is "Mixing the mixture with water, filtering out the insoluble solid, and then evaporating the water to isolate the soluble solid"

Can someone help?? This is really hard.
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

Let us consider the first two reactions, the initial concentration of CO was held constant and the concentration of Hbn was doubled.

2.68 * 10^-3/1.34 * 10^-3 = 6.24 * 10^-4/3.12 * 10^-4

2^1 = 2^1

The rate of reaction is first order with respect to Hbn

Let us consider the third and fourth reactions. The concentration of Hbn is held constant and that of CO was tripled.

1.5 * 10^-3/5 * 10^-4 = 1.872 * 10^-3/6.24 * 10^-4

3^1 = 3^1

The reaction is also first order with respect to CO

b) The overall order of reaction is 1 + 1=2

c) The rate equation is;

Rate = k [CO] [Hbn]

d) 3.12 * 10^-4 = k [5 * 10^-4] [1.34 * 10^-3]

k = 3.12 * 10^-4  /[5 * 10^-4] [1.34 * 10^-3]

k = 3.12 * 10^-4/6.7 * 10^-7

k = 4.7 * 10^2 mmol-1 L s-1

e) The reaction occurs in one step because;

1) The rate law agrees with the experimental data.

2) The sum of the order of reaction of each specie in the rate law gives the overall order of reaction.
