Question
An analytical chemist measures the amount of Elements E, and E, in four samples of an unknown Substance X:
1
mass
mass
sample of E, of E2
1
8.9 g 20.3 g
It's known that X contains no elements other than E, and E,.
1
5.8 g 13.2 g
4.2 g 9.7 g
4
8.5 g 19.4 g
Using this information, answer the questions in the table below.
pure substance
Is Xa pure substance or a mixture?
O mixture
If you don't have enough information to decide, choose can't decide.
O (can't decide)
If you said X is a pure substance, calculate the mass of Element E, the
analytical chemist would find in a new 10.0 g sample of X.
Round your answer to 2 significant digits.
