Yes it could, but you'd have to set up the process very carefully.
I see two major challenges right away:
1). Displacement of water would not be a wise method, since rock salt
is soluble (dissolves) in water. So as soon as you start lowering it into
your graduated cylinder full of water, its volume would immediately start
to decrease. If you lowered it slowly enough, you might even measure
a volume close to zero, and when you pulled the string back out of the
water, there might be nothing left on the end of it.
So you would have to choose some other fluid besides water ... one in
which rock salt doesn't dissolve. I don't know right now what that could
be. You'd have to shop around and find one.
2). Whatever fluid you did choose, it would also have to be less dense
than rock salt. If it's more dense, then the rock salt just floats in it, and
never goes all the way under. If that happens, then you have a tough
time measuring the total volume of the lump.
So the displacement method could perhaps be used, in principle, but
it would not be easy.
The term with this definition is an element.
At this moment, there are 118 elements, 94 of which occur naturally, whereas the remaining 24 are synthetically created. Some of those elements include iron, oxygen, potassium, nitrogen, etc., all of which have unique chemical properties.
Total mass of CaCO3 = 40 amu of Ca + 12amu of C + 16×3 amu of oxygen = 100amu of CaCO3
i.e 100 tonnes of CaCO3 .
mass of CO2 = 12amu of C + 2× 16amu of O = 44 amu of CO2
mass % of CO2 in CaCO3 = (44/100)×100 =44%
i.e
44% of 100 tonnes is CO2.
=44 tonnes of CO2.
therefore, 44% of CO2 is present in CaCO3.
Answer:
No
Explanation:
A mixture is when two or more substances combine physically together. However, in water, two hydrogen atoms combine with one oxygen atom chemically, forming a new substance that has properties different from hydrogen alone or oxygen alone. ... Therefore, water is not a mixture
