calcium and chlorine, in a fixed mass ratio. (b) Sulfur consists of sulfur atoms combined into octatomic molecules. (c) Baking powder, a leavening agent, contains 26% to 30% sodium hydrogen carbonate and 30% to 35% calcium dihydro- gen phosphate by mass.

Answer:

they are pure substances: (b) and (d)

Explanation:

sulfur and cytosine are pure substances, since its composition does not changes even if the physical condition in which it is found changes.

These can not be broken down into othwer simpler substances using physical methods.

Pure substances have their own and definite characteristics.

Consider the two facts below:
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

A. There is more dissolved oxygen in colder waters than in warm water.

D. If ocean temperature rise, then the risk to the fish population increases.

Explanation:

Conclusion that can be drawn from the two facts stated above:

*Dissolved oxygen is essential nutrient for fish survival in their aquatic habitat.

*Dissolved oxygen would decrease as the temperature of aquatic habit rises, and vice versa.

*Fishes, therefore, would thrive best in colder waters than warmer waters.

The following are scenarios that can be explained by the facts given and conclusions arrived:

A. There is more dissolved oxygen in colder waters than in warm water (solubility of gases decreases with increase in temperature)

D. If ocean temperature rise, then the risk to the fish population increases (fishes will thrive best in colder waters where dissolved oxygen is readily available).

The combustion of ethyne, shown below unbalance, produces heat which can be used to weld metals:
Andreyy89

Answer:

3.69 g

Explanation:

Given that:

The mass m = 325 g

The change in temperature ΔT = ( 1540 - 165)° C

= 1375 ° C

Heat capacity c_p = 0.490 J/g°C

The amount of heat required:

q = mcΔT

q =  325 × 0.490 × 1375

q = 218968.75 J

q = 218.97 kJ

The equation for the reaction is expressed as:

C_2H_{2(g)} + 5O_{2(g)} \to 2CO_{2(g)} + H_2O_{(g)}   \ \   \ \ \  \Delta H^o_{reaction} = -1544 \ kJ

Then,

1 mole of the ethyne is equal to 26 g of ethyne required for 1544 kJ heat.

Thus, for 218.97 kJ, the amount of ethyne gas required will be:

= \dfrac{26 \ g}{1544 \ kJ} \times 218.97 \ kJ

= 3.69 g
