  • Chapter Two Chemical Compounds

    587 Words  | 3 Pages

    Chapter two discussed chemical compounds and their different representations whether naming and or through formula format. From such information, the amount of atoms, moles, and or determining charges can be found. All formulas can convey a limited amount of information depending on which structure has been selected to represent the compound. Compounds are usually shown by a chemical formula. Once compounds have bonded through the attraction of protons and electrons, if the bond is ionic or covalent

  • Stoichiometry Lab Report

    514 Words  | 3 Pages

    Chemistry, compounds are defined as any substance that is composed of atoms of two or more elements that are combined in fixed ratios. Compounds can often be reduced in order to separate their elements and study their properties. Compounds such as water (H2O) and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) for example, both contain oxygen and can therefore undergo a process of decomposition that will isolate the elements in order to calculate the quantity of each element and molecule present in the compound. Any compound with

    this test left 3 possible compounds; NaHCO₃, Na₂CO₃, and CaCO₃. Next the compound was tested with iodine and the solution turned yellow showing that now there was two compounds that could be the identity of unknown powder E; NaHCO₃ and CaCO₃. After that compound E was tested for being soluble in water, the powder was soluble, this proved that unknown element E is NaHCO₃. Unknown Element K was also first tested following the steps for the phenolphthalein test and the compound turned clear, this test

  • Explain Why Pure Substances Are Not Either In The Form Of Compounds

    1256 Words  | 6 Pages

    Final Essay Questions Pure substances are either in the form of compounds or elements. A compound can be decomposed by ordinary chemical means and are made up of two or more elements. An example of a compound is water, which is H2O. Elements, on the other hand, are pure substances that cannot be broken down because they are in their purest form and an example of this would be gold, which is Au. In contrast, mixtures can be made up of homogenous or heterogeneous mixtures that can be separated. In

    whether an object was an element, component, or a mixture and whether it was a homogeneous and heterogeneous was clarified. An element is made up of only one type of atom and no other. It is also known as pure substances.  Elements are different from compounds and mixtures since they both have two or more atoms while elements contain one of the pure elements. A material is an element if found in the Periodic Table of Elements. Sulfur, lead, tin, aluminum, copper, and helium, which were part of the activity
