1.) A compound is a thing that is composed of two or more (separate) elements.
2.) A compound cannot be separated easily, while its properties differ from where it originates from. It also is formed from chemical reactions.
3.) A pure substance, also known as chemical substance, is a material with constant composition and consistant properties.
4.) If a substance is not a pure substance, then it is an impure substance.
Hope this helped. :)
The balanced chemical reaction describing this decomposition is as follows:
<span>4c3h5n3o9 .............> 6N2 + 12CO2 +10H2O + O2
From the periodic table:
mass of oxygen = 16 grams
mass of nitrogen = 14 grams
mass of hydrogen = 1 gram
mass of carbon = 12 grams
Therefore:
mass of </span><span>C3H5N3O9 = 3(12) + 5(1) + 3(14) + 9(16) = 227 grams
mass of O2 = 2(16) = 32 grams
From the balanced chemical equation:
4(227) = 908 grams of </span>C3H5N3O9 produce 32 grams of O2. Therefore, to know the amount of oxygen produced from 4.5*10^2 grams <span>C3H5N3O9, all we need to do is cross multiplication as follows:
amount of oxygen = (4.5*10^2*32) / (908) = 15.859 grams</span>
In nuclear fission heavier elements are split to make lighter elements whilst releasing energy. An atom, its nucleus to be more specific, is bombarded with neutrons. The nucleus becomes unstable and it starts to split/decay. It creates the fusion products. Neutrons and lighter elements are released; the neutrons from the nuclei of the atom(s) being split.
The _____melting point________ is the temperature at which a substance changes from solid to liquid; _______boiling point_________ is the temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid to as gas; _______vapourisation_________ is the process by which atoms of molecules leave a liquid and become a gas.
