Concept explainers
a)
Interpretation:Whether orange juice is compound, homogenous mixture or heterogeneous mixture should be classified.
Concept introduction:In homogeneous mixture, compounds are uniformly distributed throughout mixture. Such mixtures are blood plasma, tap water, and air. On the other hand in heterogeneous mixture, compounds are not uniformly distributed and their concentration and ratio vary throughout mixture. Such mixtures are soil and sand.
b)
Interpretation:Whether Vegetable soup is compound, homogenous mixture or heterogeneous mixture should be classified.
Concept introduction:In homogeneous mixture, compounds are uniformly distributed throughout mixture. Such mixtures are blood plasma, tap water, and air. On other hand in heterogeneous mixture, compounds are not uniformly distributed and their concentration and ratio vary throughout mixture. Such mixtures are soil and sand.
c)
Interpretation:Whether cement is compound, homogenous mixture or heterogeneous mixture should be classified.
Concept introduction:In homogeneous mixture, compounds are uniformly distributed throughout mixture. Such mixtures are blood plasma, tap water, and air. On other hand in heterogeneous mixture, compounds are not uniformly distributed and their concentration and ratio vary throughout mixture. Such mixtures are soil and sand.
d)
Interpretation:Whether calcium sulfate is compound, homogenous mixture or heterogeneous mixture should be classified.
Concept introduction:In homogeneous mixture, compounds are uniformly distributed throughout mixture. Such mixtures are blood plasma, tap water, and air. On other hand in heterogeneous mixture, compounds are not uniformly distributed and their concentration and ratio vary throughout mixture. Such mixtures are soil and sand.
e)
Interpretation:Whether tea is compound, homogenous mixture or heterogeneous mixture should be classified.
Concept introduction:In homogeneous mixture, compounds are uniformly distributed throughout mixture. Such mixtures are blood plasma, tap water, and air. On other hand in heterogeneous mixture, compounds are not uniformly distributed and their concentration and ratio vary throughout mixture. Such mixtures are soil and sand.

Principles of General Chemistry
- Consider two boxes with the following contents: the first contains 30 bolts and 30 nuts that fit the bolts; the second contains the same number of nuts and bolts with the difference that each bolt has the nut screwed on it. Which box has contents that would be an analogy for a mixture, and which box has contents that would be an analogy for a compound?arrow_forwardIf we classify substances as ionic, molecular, macromolecular, or metallic, in which if any categories are all the members a. soluble in water? b. electrical conductors in the melt? c. insoluble in all common solvents? d. solids at room temperature?arrow_forwardSuppose someone emptied ball bearings into a container of salt. Could you separate the ball bearings from the salt? How? Would your method involve no change, be a physical change, or be a chemical change?arrow_forward
- Which of the following represent physical properties or changes, and which represent chemical properties or changes? You curl your hair with a curling iron. You curl your hair by getting a “permanent wave” at the hair salon. Ice on your sidewalk melts when you put salt on it. A glass of water evaporates overnight when it is left on the bedside table. Your steak chars if the skillet is too hot. Alcohol feels cool when it is spilled on the skin. Alcohol ignites when a flame is brought near it. Baking powder causes biscuits to rise.arrow_forwardWhat is the chief factor that determines thephysical slateof a sample of matter?arrow_forwardConsider two boxes with the following contents: the first box contains 10 blue paper clips and 10 red paper clips; the second contains the same number of each color of paper clip with the difference that each blue paper clip is interlocked with a red paper clip. Which box has contents that would be an analogy for a mixture, and which box has contents that would be an analogy for a compound?arrow_forward
- Classify each of these as an element, a compound, a heterogeneous mixture, or a homogeneous mixture. Explain your choice in each case. (a) Chunky peanut butter (b) Distilled water (c) Platinum (d) Airarrow_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_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_forward
- 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.arrow_forwardA 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.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is a chemical change? Explain your reasoning: (a) boiling canned soup; (b) toasting a slice of bread; (c) chopping a log; (d) burning a log.arrow_forward
