Answer:

The number of elements in a compound is counted by identifying and counting the chemical symbols represented in the chemical formula

A compound is a substance that is a mixture of more than one elements.

Compounds are made of two or more elements. These elements are represented by their symbols. These symbols can be identified and the number of elements represented by these symbols are counted.

For example, in the compound H_2OH

2

O :

H represents Hydrogen

O represents Oxygen

The elements in Water ( H_2OH

2

O ) are Hydrogen and Oxygen

Therefore, the number of elements in H_2OH

2

O is 2

Also in, NaClNaCl

The elements are Sodium(Na) and Chlorine(Cl)

There are two elements in NaCl

Hence, the number of elements in a compound is counted by identifying and counting the chemical symbols represented in the chemical formula

Consider the following scenario
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

See explaination

Explanation:

Going by the clues that it is between Silver Flouride (AgF) and Sodium Fluoride (NaF) and since it is an aqueous solution , the 1 liter bottle is likely to be Sodium Chloride( NaCl). Going by the reaction,

AgF + NaCl= AgCl + NaF

Here, the color of AgCl is white, hence the solution cannot be AgCl.

Determination of NaCl

Determination of NaCl can be done by Mohr's Method or Volhard's method. But results in Volhard's method are more accurate . Its uses the method of back titration with Potassium Thiocynate which forms a AgCl precipitate . Prior to titration,excess AgNO3 ( The problem also has a clue that excess reagents are present in the lab ) is added to the NaCl solution so that all the Cl- ions react with Ag+. Fe3+ is then added as an indicator and the solution is titrated with KSCN to form a silver thiocyannite precipitate (AgSCN). Once all the silver has reacted, a slight excess of SCN- reacts with Fe3+ to form Fe(SCN)3 dark red complex. The concentration of Cl- is determined by subtracting the titer findings of Ag+ ions that reacted to form AgSCN from the Ag NO3 moles added to the solution. This is used because pH of the solution is acidic. If the pH of solution is basic, Mohr's method is used.

Reactions

Ag+ (aq)+ Cl-(aq) = AgCl(aq)

Ag+(aq) + SCN-(aq) = AgSCN(aq)

Fe3+(aq) + SCN-(aq) = [FeSCN]2- (aq)

Let’s say you have 3 UV active spots in the crude material and co-spot TLC plate. One has the same Rf value as the starting mate
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

Answer: (1R,2S) / (1S, 2R) , (1R,2R) / (1S, 2S)  

Explanation:

Sodium borohydride reduction of benzoin will give four possible stereo isomers out of which are (1R,2S) - (1S, 2R) isomers and (1R,2R) - (1S, 2S) isomers which are known as enantiomers.

In general enantiomers show single spot in the TLC as they do not show any difference in Rf value (i.e) (1R,2S) - (1S, 2R) isomers show only one spot although they are two compounds and also (1R,2R) - (1S, 2S) isomers also show one spot. That is the reason why you are observing two spots in the TLC ( of reaction mixture) other than starting materilal.

Explain the difference between mechanical weathering and chemical weathering​
Alchen [17]

Answer:

mechanical weathering breaks rocks into smaller forms without any change in their composition whereas chemical weathering breaks down rocks by forming new minerals .

or simply mechanical weathering is the physical breakdown of rocks while chemical weathering is the breakdown of rocks through chemical reactions .
