Concept explainers
a)
Interpretation:Whether distilled water is a compound, homogeneous mixture or a heterogeneous mixture should be classified.
Concept introduction:Compounds are substances that are composed of at least two or more than two elements bound chemically in fixed proportions. They are represented by their chemical compositions. Compounds can be fragmented into its constituents by chemical methods. Examples of compounds are water
Mixtures consist of two or more chemical compounds or elements that are mixed up physically, they are not pure substances. Examples of mixtures are air, milk, honey. Based on composition, mixture can be classified into two categories one is a homogeneous mixture (uniform mixture) and another one heterogeneous mixture (ununiform mixture).

Which are quantitative? Explain your choice in each case. (a) Sodium is a silvery-white metal. (b) Aluminum melts at 660 C. (c) Carbon makes up about 23% of the human body by mass. (d) Pure carbon occurs in different forms: graphite, diamond, and fullerenes.arrow_forwardConsider two boxes with the following contents: the first contains 30 bolts and 30 nuts that fit the bolts; the second contains the same number of nuts and bolts with the difference that each bolt has the nut screwed on it. Which box has contents that would be an analogy for a mixture, and which box has contents that would be an analogy for a compound?arrow_forward
- What is the chief factor that determines thephysical slateof a sample of matter?arrow_forwardA materials engineer has filed for a patent for a new alloy to be used in golf club heads. The composition by mass ranges from 25 to 31% manganese, 6.3 to 7.8% aluminum, 0.65 to 0.85% carbon, and 5.5 to 9.0% chromium, with the remainder being iron. What are the maximum and minimum percentages of iron possible in this alloy? Use Figure 2.12 to snake a prediction about how the density of this alloy would compare with that of iron; justify your prediction.arrow_forwardIf we classify substances as ionic, molecular, macromolecular, or metallic, in which if any categories are all the members a. soluble in water? b. electrical conductors in the melt? c. insoluble in all common solvents? d. solids at room temperature?arrow_forward
