There are four sketches below. The first sketch shows a sample of Substance X. The three sketches underneath it show three different changes to the sample. You must decide whether each of these changes is possible. If a change is possible, you must also decide whether it is a physical change or a chemical change.
Fact, Law, Hypothesis, or Theory?
__ An object less dense than the air flies up on its own.
__ Atoms make and break chemical bonds by transferring or sharing their valence electrons to satisfy the octet rule.

- Where do these go?arrow_forwardGas chromatography is an analytical technique that is used to separate and analyze samples that can be vaporized without decomposing. The chromatography column contains a substance that helps separate the sample being analyzed. The sample is vaporized and carried through the column by an inert gas. As the mixture moves through the column, the compounds are separated based on how much they interact with the substance in the column. The molecules of each compound are detected as they exit the column, and a peak for each compound is produced on a chromatogram. The area under each peak on the chromatogram is proportional to the concentration of the compound in the sample. A chromatogram produced by separating a mixture of compounds is shown. Time to Go Through Column Based on the information given, which of the following statements about the chromatogram is most likely true? A The three peaks each represent a different element. B The three peaks each represent a different substance used to…arrow_forwardIs there a difference between a homogeneous mixture of hydrogen and oxygen in a 2:1 ration and a sample of water vapor?
