Concept explainers
Consider the photograph and illustrations of table salt. Do they include a model? Do they include a depiction of matter at the macroscopic, microscopic, and/or particulate levels? Explain your answers.
To predict the given photograph and illustrations of table salt, identify the depiction of matter at the macroscopic, microscopic, and/or particulate levels with explanation.
Interpretation:
Macroscopic, microscopic and particulate forms of matter are the three forms of matter.
Macroscopic can be viewed by the naked eyes, but we will be able to view microscopic form only by an optical microscope or electron microscope. Matter at the particulate level is so small that even with electron microscope it is really very difficult see them. Scientist use model to understand matter at particulate level. Models is representation of something
Concept introduction:
Answer to Problem 2.1TC
The art depicts a model of table salt at the particulate level. The photograph shows the macroscopic level
Explanation of Solution
Macroscopic, microscopic and particulate forms of matter are the three forms of matter.
Macroscopic can be viewed by the naked eyes, but we will be able to view microscopic form only by an optical microscope or electron microscope. Matter at the particulate level is so small that even with electron microscope it is really very difficult see them. Scientist use model to understand matter at particulate level. Models are representation of something. From the above statement we can say that the art depicts a model of table salt at the particulate level. The photograph shows at the macroscopic level
Thus the art depicts a model of table salt at the particulate level. The photograph shows the macroscopic level

- Constant monitoring of acceptable concentrations of various dissolved substances is critical to keep our drinking water safe. In many areas, the drinking water standard for nitrate ions is 5.00 ppb. Calculate the mass, in micrograms, of nitrate ions allowed in one 254 mL glass of tap water.  Record only your numerical answer with the correct number of significant digits.arrow_forwardAn alcoholic fermentation was conducted in the laboratory using 280 g glucose as substrate with a working volume of 2,000 mL. Assuming that the sugar is completely fermented to ethanol. Calculate the volume of ethyl alcohol in liters produced. The density of ethyl alcohol is 0.79 g/mL and its concentration or percent ethyl alcohol by volume produced assuming that no volume changed during fermentation.arrow_forward1.

- Imagine a world in which all the elements existed, but they couldn't form any chemical bonds with each other. What kinds of substances could exist in such a world? What kinds of substances could not exist? What do you think this world would be like?arrow_forwardRead the descriptions below of two substances and an experiment on each. Decide whether the result of the experiment tells you the substance is a pure substance or a mixture, if you can. • Sample A is 100. g of a coarse grey powder with a faint unpleasant smell. 15. g of the powder is put into a funnel lined with a sheet of thick paper. Distilled water is poured slowly over the powder. All of the powder disappears, and the water under the funnel turns a deep purple. • Sample B is a solid yellow cube with a total mass of 50.0 g. The cube is ground to a fine orange powder and added to a 500 mL beaker full of water. The beaker is stirred vigorously. Some of orange powder settles to the bottom of the beaker, and some rises to the top and floats on the water. When the powder at both the bottom and the top of the beaker is filtered out, dried, and weighed, the total mass is measured to be 50.1 g. pure substance Is sample A made from a pure substance or a mixture?

A steel lid seals the vessel, which is then placed in an oven at 250°C for 6 hours. Much of the wood fiber decomposes under these conditions; the vessel and lid do not react.(a) Classify each of the materials mentioned as a substance or mixture. Subclassify the substances as elements or compounds.(b) Determine the mass of the contents of the iron vesselafter the reaction.arrow_forward
