1) State your interpretation of the meaning of the slope for the first graph you prepared of Volume of Steel Nuts (mL) versus Number of Steel Nuts.
Hint: Understanding the meaning of a slope involves several factors: the units which are a ratio of the y axis units over the x axis units, the interpretation of the slope as “number of the y axis units for every one of the x axis units” and the concept that constructing the best line or curve that follows the trend in the data is a sort of averaging of the random error throughout the data.
If matter is uniform throughout and cannot be separated into other substances by physical
processes, but can be decomposed into other substances by chemical processes, it is called a(n):

Indicate whether each of the following samples of matter is a heterogeneous, homogeneous mixture, element or compound
A. A colorless gas, only part of which reacts with hot iron
B. A uniform red liquid with a boiling point of 60 degrees C that cannot be broken down into simpler substances using chemical means
C. A yellow solid all or which melts at a temperature of 45 degrees C to produce a liquid that decomposes upon further heating

He proceeds to take 10.0 g of each compound and places them in separate beakers, each containing 100 mL of water. Both compounds completely dissolve. He then states, Since the same amount of both substances dissolved in the same volume of water, they must both have the same chemical composition. Is he justified in making this claim?
