(a)
Interpretation:
The copper wire is to be classified as an element, compound, homogeneous mixture, or heterogeneous mixture.
Concept introduction:
An element is the basic unit of a substance that cannot be broken down into any smaller units. A compound is made up of elements through the formation of
(b)
Interpretation:
The copper ore is to be classified as an element, compound, homogeneous mixture, or heterogeneous mixture.
Concept introduction:
An element is the basic unit of a substance that cannot be broken down into any smaller units. A compound is made up of elements through the formation of chemical bonds and it can be broken down into the constituent elements. A mixture is made up of elements but without the formation of chemical bonds between them. Mixture exhibits the property of its constituent elements. Two types of mixtures are there: homogenous and heterogeneous. Homogeneous mixtures are uniform and have fixed compositions. On the other hand, heterogeneous mixtures are non uniform and their composition is not fixed.
(c)
Interpretation:
The copper oxide is to be classified as an element, compound, homogeneous mixture, or heterogeneous mixture.

- 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.
