(a)
Interpretation:
The gas in the given illustration is to be classified as an element, a compound, or a mixture of gases.
Concept introduction:
The substance which is pure and cannot be broken down into simpler forms is known as an element. A compound is a substance that contains two or more elements and can be broken down into elements during a
(b)
Interpretation:
The gas in the given illustration is to be classified as an element, a compound, or a mixture of gases.
Concept introduction:
The substance which is pure and cannot be broken down into simpler forms is known as an element. A compound is a substance that contains two or more elements and can be broken down into elements during a chemical reaction. When two or more substances are mixed together, it is termed as a mixture.

- Indicate whether each of the following samples of matter is a heterogeneous, homogeneous mixture, element or compound A. A colorless gas, only part of which reacts with hot iron B. A uniform red liquid with a boiling point of 60 degrees C that cannot be broken down into simpler substances using chemical means C. A yellow solid all or which melts at a temperature of 45 degrees C to produce a liquid that decomposes upon further heating D. A single phase liquid that completely evaporates without decomposition when heated to produce a gas that can be seperated into sinpler components using physical meansarrow_forwardWhich of the following is an example of non-matter? Light, Oxygen, Rock, water?arrow_forwardA solid white substance A is heated strongly in the absence ofair. It decomposes to form a new white substance B and a gas C.The gas has exactly the same properties as the product obtainedwhen carbon is burned in an excess of oxygen. Basedon these observations, can we determine whether solids Aand B and gas C are elements or compounds?arrow_forward
