Concept explainers
Consider the photograph and illustrations of table salt. Do they include a model? Do they include a depiction of matter at the macroscopic, microscopic, and/or particulate levels? Explain your answers.
To predict the given photograph and illustrations of table salt, identify the depiction of matter at the macroscopic, microscopic, and/or particulate levels with explanation.
Interpretation:
Macroscopic, microscopic and particulate forms of matter are the three forms of matter.
Macroscopic can be viewed by the naked eyes, but we will be able to view microscopic form only by an optical microscope or electron microscope. Matter at the particulate level is so small that even with electron microscope it is really very difficult see them. Scientist use model to understand matter at particulate level. Models is representation of something
Concept introduction:
Answer to Problem 2.1TC
The art depicts a model of table salt at the particulate level. The photograph shows the macroscopic level
Explanation of Solution
Macroscopic, microscopic and particulate forms of matter are the three forms of matter.
Macroscopic can be viewed by the naked eyes, but we will be able to view microscopic form only by an optical microscope or electron microscope. Matter at the particulate level is so small that even with electron microscope it is really very difficult see them. Scientist use model to understand matter at particulate level. Models are representation of something. From the above statement we can say that the art depicts a model of table salt at the particulate level. The photograph shows at the macroscopic level
Thus the art depicts a model of table salt at the particulate level. The photograph shows the macroscopic level

- Give an example of a mixture in which solute is solid and solvent is liquid.arrow_forwardCrime scene investigators keep a wide variety of compounds on hand to help with identifying unknown substances they find in the course of their duties. One such investigator, while reorganizing their shelves, has mixed up several small vials and is unsure about the identity of a certain powder. Elemental analysis of the compound reveals that it is 67.31 % carbon, 6.978% hydrogen, 4.617% nitrogen, and 21.10% oxygen by mass. Â Â Which of the compounds could the powder be? C17H19NO3C17H19NO3 = morphine, analgesic C17H21NO4C17H21NO4 = cocaine, illicit drug C7H5N3O6C7H5N3O6 = 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), commonly used explosive C10H15NC10H15N = methamphetamine, stimulant C4H5N2OC4H5N2O = caffeine, stimulant C11H15NO2C11H15NO2 = 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), illicit drug C21H23NO5C21H23NO5 = heroin, illicit drug C3H6NO3C3H6NO3 = hexamethylene triperoxide diamine (HMTD), commonly used explosivearrow_forward1.

- Imagine a world in which all the elements existed, but they couldn't form any chemical bonds with each other. What kinds of substances could exist in such a world? What kinds of substances could not exist? What do you think this world would be like?arrow_forwardRead the descriptions below of two substances and an experiment on each. Decide whether the result of the experiment tells you the substance is a pure substance or a mixture, if you can. • Sample A is 100. g of a coarse grey powder with a faint unpleasant smell. 15. g of the powder is put into a funnel lined with a sheet of thick paper. Distilled water is poured slowly over the powder. All of the powder disappears, and the water under the funnel turns a deep purple. • Sample B is a solid yellow cube with a total mass of 50.0 g. The cube is ground to a fine orange powder and added to a 500 mL beaker full of water. The beaker is stirred vigorously. Some of orange powder settles to the bottom of the beaker, and some rises to the top and floats on the water. When the powder at both the bottom and the top of the beaker is filtered out, dried, and weighed, the total mass is measured to be 50.1 g. pure substance Is sample A made from a pure substance or a mixture?

- Soft wood chips weighing 17.2 kg are placed in an iron vessel and mixed with 150.1 kg water and 22.43 kg sodium hydroxide. A steel lid seals the vessel, which is then placed in an oven at 250°C for 6 hours. Much of the wood fiber decomposes under these conditions; the vessel and lid do not react.(a) Classify each of the materials mentioned as a substance or mixture. Subclassify the substances as elements or compounds.(b) Determine the mass of the contents of the iron vesselafter the reaction.arrow_forwardSuppose there are four unknowns in bottles: three of the bottles are solutions and one is a pure substance.
