Let's start by counting the number of each atom on each side of the equation. On the left side, we can see that there are 2 Carbon and 4 Hydrogen in a single molecule of ethylene. Meanwhile, there are 6 Oxygen, because there are 3 oxygen molecules each with 2 oxygen atoms. On the right side, there are two hydrogen atoms in each of the two water molecules for a total of 4 Hydrogen. The 2 molecules of carbon dioxide give us 2 Carbon atoms. Water gives us 2 Oxygen, while carbon dioxide gives us 4 Oxygen, for a total of 6 Oxygen. So, it looks like the number of atoms on either side of the equation are equal.
Okay so Im thinking B?
or C
@SmokeyBrown
@Bearclaws72
Yup, C would be correct. Since the number of atoms on each side of the equation is equal, the equation is already balanced.
these 2 questions pleasee
@SmokeyBrown
@Shadow
Recall that solutions are made up of two components: The solvent, in which other substances are dissolved; and the solute, which is the substance being dissolved. Of these two, which do you think more fits carbon dioxide in a carbonated beverage?
its either A or C not sure which one
Well, for a substance in a solution to be saturated, that means that the maximum physically possible has already been dissolved. For instance, if you have a saturated solution of sugar water, any additional sugar won't be able to dissolve in that solution. In the case of carbonated beverages, it isn't necessarily true that the solution is saturated.
So solute?
@SmokeyBrown
Yup, it's a solute. Sorry, I was away on lunch
Its alright!
Yup, I think you've got it. That would be an element.
While it's true that a solution is made up of more than one substance, they aren't chemically combined and they can be separated.
so I would say A
That's close, but making a solution is actually a physical combination, not a chemical one
D?
or wait it can be separated so D and A is out
its either B or C
That's right. So, what's the only answer that makes sense?
C
Right, a solution is a mixture between a solvent and a solute
Only one of the answer choices is an element that appears on the periodic table. The others are either molecules or mixtures. Which of the choices do you recognize as an element?
Oxygen
Im thinking oxygen or sodium chloride
Yup, oxygen is right. Sodium chloride is made of two different elements, Sodium and Chlorine.
Ohhhh okay
Keep in mind that mixtures are physical combinations of more than one substance. All the answer choices but one are either chemical combinations or only contain one element.
Salt water? Since it combines salt and water
and they are two different substances
Yup, that's right!
Potassium?
Just like the question before, you'll only find one of these choices on the periodic table. You're right, it is potassium!
D?
Well, a pure substance can't be separated from itself, since it's only one substance. On the other hand, mixtures can be separated physically and are made of more than one substance. There's only one choice that leaves.
C?
Yup! Heterogeneous means that it's not the same throughout. But a pure substance, by definition, is the same throughout itself, in other words, homogeneous
Oh I seee, okay lemme see what my grade is
I got the last one wrong. It was "Mixtures are made up of more than one component."
Its fine tho thank you
Alrighty, you're very welcome
