Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Water is a mixture or pure substance has to be identified and explained.
Concept introduction:
Mixture:
A mixture always contains two or more substances that can be present in varying amounts. The components of a mixture do not lose their identities and may be separated by physical means. There are two types of mixture,
- Homogeneous mixture
- Heterogeneous mixture
Homogeneous mixture:
Homogenous mixture consist of a single phase be it liquid, gas, or solid the chemical composition is the same for any sample of the mixture.
Heterogeneous mixture:
Heterogeneous mixture consist of different phase are not uniform they will not have an identical composition
Pure substance:
A pure substance (element or compound) always has a definite composition by mass. The elements in the compounds lose their identities and may be separated only by chemical means.
(b)
Interpretation:
Chicken stock is a mixture or pure substance has to be identified and explained.
Concept introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(c)
Interpretation:
Salt is a mixture or pure substance has to be identified and explained.
Concept introduction:

(d)
Interpretation:

- The emission data in cps displayed in Table 1 is reported to two decimal places by the chemist. However, the instrument output is shown in Table 2. Table 2. Iron emission from ICP-AES Sample Blank Standard Emission, cps 579.503252562 9308340.13122 Unknown Sample 343.232365741 Did the chemist make the correct choice in how they choose to display the data up in Table 1? Choose the best explanation from the choices below. No. Since the instrument calculates 12 digits for all values, they should all be kept and not truncated. Doing so would eliminate significant information. No. Since the instrument calculates 5 decimal places for the standard, all of the values should be limited to the same number. The other decimal places are not significant for the blank and unknown sample. Yes. The way Saman made the standards was limited by the 250-mL volumetric flask. This glassware can report values to 2 decimal places, and this establishes our number of significant figures. Yes.

Compute the average (x) as a function of n. C. Compute σ2 = (x²) - (x)², the variance of x, as a function of n.arrow_forward451. Use the diffusion model from lecture that showed the likelihood of mixing occurring in a lattice model with eight lattice sites: Case Left Right A B C Permeable Barrier → and show that with 2V lattice sites on each side of the permeable barrier and a total of 2V white particles and 2V black particles, that perfect de-mixing (all one color on each side of the barrier) becomes increasingly unlikely as V increases.arrow_forward
