Question

Would love some help! I don't know how to calculate if it is pure or mixture in these questions.

A sample of an unknown pure substance \( X \) is analyzed and found to contain 9.34 g of Element \( E_1 \), 10.7 g of Element \( E_2 \), and no other elements.

A similar analysis is made of three other substances that also only contain Elements \( E_1 \) and \( E_2 \). The results are shown in the table below. Decide whether each of the other substances is also a pure substance. If you don't have enough information to decide, choose can’t decide.

| substance | mass of \( E_1 \) | mass of \( E_2 \) | pure substance? |
|-----------|-------------------|-------------------|-----------------|
| \( A \)   | 28.0 g            | 16.0 g            | ○ pure substance<br>○ mixture<br>○ (can’t decide) |
| \( B \)   | 42.8 g            | 12.2 g            | ○ pure substance<br>○ mixture<br>○ (can’t decide) |
| \( C \)   | 22.5 g            | 8.55 g            | ○ pure substance<br>○ mixture<br>○ (can’t decide) |

An analytical chemist measures the amount of Elements \(E_1\) and \(E_2\) in four samples of an unknown Substance \(X\):

| sample | mass of \(E_1\) | mass of \(E_2\) |
|--------|-----------------|-----------------|
| 1      | 2.7 g           | 9.3 g           |
| 2      | 4.7 g           | 16.3 g          |
| 3      | 5.6 g           | 19.3 g          |
| 4      | 4.0 g           | 13.9 g          |

It's known that \(X\) contains no elements other than \(E_1\) and \(E_2\).

Using this information, answer the questions in the table below.

1. Is \(X\) a pure substance or a mixture?

   - pure substance
   - mixture
   - (can't decide)

2. If you said \(X\) is a pure substance, calculate the mass of Element \(E_1\) the analytical chemist would find in a new 10.0 g sample of \(X\).

   (Round your answer to 2 significant digits.)
