A compound is a pure substance formed by the chemical combination of two or more different elements.
A compound may be splitted into simpler substances by chemical reactions, and has different properties to those of the elements that form it.
The composition of a compound is fixed: every piece of a compound has the same kind of atoms, bonded in the same way and proportion.
Some examples of compounds are H₂O, NaCl, H₂O₂, CH₃COOH. As you see, they have a chemical formula which states the kind and number of the atoms that form them.
They are different to mixtures, which are formed by two or more compounds, in a variable proportion, and can be separated by physical media. Some examples of mixtures are the solutions (e.g. NaCl dissolved in H₂O), and some solid mixtures (e.g. a mixture of marbles and sand).

Answer:
44 grams/mole
Explanation:
<u>If 1 mol of XO₂ contains the same number of atoms as 60 g of XO3, what is the molar mass of XO₂?</u>
<u></u>
60 grams of XO3 is one mole XO3, since it has the same number of atoms as 1 mole of XO2.
Let c be the molar mass of X. The molar mass of XO3 is comprised of:
X: c
3O: 3 x 16 = 48
Total molar mass of XO3 is = <u>48 + c</u>
We know that the molar mass of XO3 = 60 g/mole, so:
48 + c = 60 g/mole
c = 12 g/mole
The molar mass of XO2 would be:
1 X = 12
2 O = 32
Molar mass = 44 grams/mole, same as carbon dioxide. Carbon's molar mass is 12 grams.
