Soft wood chips weighing 17.2 kg are placed in an iron vessel and mixed with 150.1 kg water and 22.43 kg sodium hydroxide. A steel lid seals the vessel, which is then placed in an oven at 250°C for 6 hours. Much of the wood fiber decomposes under these conditions; the vessel and lid do not react.(a) Classify each of the materials mentioned as a substance or mixture. Subclassify the substances as elements or compounds.(b) Determine the mass of the contents of the iron vesselafter the reaction.
A solid white substance A is heated strongly in the absence of air. It decomposes to form a new white substance B and a gas C. The gas has exactly the same properties as the product obtained when carbon is burned in an excess of oxygen. Based on these observations, can we determine whether solids A and B and gas C are elements or compounds? Explain your conclusions for each substance.

- 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. Each sketch is drawn as if the sample were under a microscope so powerful that individual atoms could be seen. Also, you should assume that you can see the entire sample, and that the sample is in a sealed box, so that no matter can enter or leave. Sample of Substance X Change 1 Change 1 is O impossible O O a chemical change a physical change Change 2 Change 2 is: impossible O a physical change O a chemical change Change 3 000 000 Change 3 is: O impossible O a physical change O a chemical change Xarrow_forwardClassify each item as a pure substance or a mixture: (a) blood; (b) ocean water; (c) a piece of wood; (d) a chunk of icearrow_forwardYou are given a hammer, a battery, a bulb, wires and switch.(a) How could you use them to distinguish between samples of metals and non- metals?(b) Asses the usefulness of these tests in distinguishing between metals and non-metals?arrow_forward
- The German chemist Fritz Haber proposed paying off the reparations imposed against Germany after World War I by extracting gold from seawater. Given the following data, what was the dollar amount of the gold that could have been extracted from 3.0 m3 of seawater? The price of gold at the time was $0.68 per gram of gold. Gold occurs in seawater to the extent of 5.15 x 1011 atoms per gram of seawater.
