Answer:

Mixing of salt is physical change.

Explanation:

Mixing of salt is physical change because no chemical reaction occur between them. Sand is non polar while salt is polar.

Physical Change:

The changes that occur only due to change in shape or form but their chemical or internal composition remain unchanged.

These changes were reversible.

They have same chemical property.

These changes can be observed with naked eye.

Chemical change:

The changes, that occur due to change in the composition of a substance and result in a different compound is known as chemical change.

These changes are irreversible

These changes occur due to chemical reactions

These may not be observed with naked eye

Answer:

Fe₃Si₇

Explanation:

In order to determine the empirical formula, we have to follow a series of steps.

Step 1: Determine the percent composition

Fe: 46.01%

Si: 53.99%

Step 2: Divide each percentage by the atomic mass of the element

Fe: 46.01/55.85 = 0.8238

Si: 53.99/28.09 = 1.922

Step 3: Divide all the numbers by the smallest one

Fe: 0.8238/0.8238 = 1

Si: 1.922/0.8238 = 2.33

Step 4: Multiply by numbers that make the coefficients whole.

Fe: 1 × 3 = 3

Si: 2.33 × 3 = 7

The empirical formula is Fe₃Si₇.

Fumaric acid, which occurs in many plants, contains, by mass, 41.4% carbon, 3.47% hydrogen, and 55.1% oxygen. The molecular mass

lukranit [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

C = 41.4/12 = 3.43

H = 3.47/1 = 3.47

O = 55.1/16 =3.44

CHO is the skeletal formula (divide each by the lowest number above). The results are close enough to 1 to be 1.

(CHO)_x = 116

C + H + O = 29

(29) _ x = 116

x = 116/29

x = 4

So there area 4 carbons 4 hydrogens and 4 oxygens.

The correct formula is C4H4O4

Atoms of arsenic (As) are often added to silicon (Si) in a process called doping to change the conductivity of the silicon. How

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

d) An atom of arsenic has one more valence electron and more electron shells than an atom of silicon, so the conductivity increases because the arsenic atom loses the electron.

Explanation:

This is an example of a n-type semiconductor. The additional electron introduced to the 'grid' of silicon atoms causes an increase in the conductivity of the silicon. This additional electron is introduced as arsenic loses its extra electron.
