Answer: Because new substances are formed.
Explanation: A chemical property is any of a material's properties that becomes evident during, or after, a chemical reaction; that is, any quality that can be established only by changing a substance's chemical identity. Once a chemical change occurs it cannot be undone due to the change in chemical identity. The creation of a new substance is not reversible.
Let the ratio of grams of hydrogen per gram of carbon in methane be M, we know that:
M = 0.3357 g / 1 g
Next, lets represent the grams of hydrogen per gram of carbon in ethane be E. The final piece of information we have is:
M / E = 4/3
If we cross multiply,
3M = 4E
Now, substituting the value of M from earlier and solving for E,
E = (3 * 0.3357) / 4
E = 0.2518
There are 0.2518 grams of hydrogen per gram of carbon in ethane.
Generally (but far from universally), the elements within a group have similar characteristics. Antimony, nitrogen, and arsenic are all part of the same group as phosphorous (the pnictogens, or group 5A). Oxygen is not in this group, but rather in an adjacent group (the chalcogens, or group 6A). Thus, the answer here should be oxygen.
That said, there can be very significant differences in characteristics among the elements within a group, and that is certainly the case here. For example, free nitrogen exists predominantly as a molecular gas (N₂) and makes up about 78% of the atmosphere we breathe. Elemental arsenic (As), while in the same group as nitrogen, is naturally found in the solid state and is poisonous to humans (arsenic is sometimes included among the toxic heavy metals, although it’s technically a metalloid).
For water you could add oil..ex: cooking oil separates form water because water is heavier than oil.
For Magnesium Sulfate you could add Sodium Carbonate..ex: Sodium Carb reacts to Mg Sulfate adding a darker hue to the liquid and adding a lot of bubbles.
For Sodium Carbonate you could add Sulfuric Acid..ex: Sulfuric Acid would add a reaction to the Sodium Carb that would resembling water boiling
