note: NOT percent composition.
As petrol is a mixture, it has no exact formula. However, the largest component of almost all commercial petrols is isooctane, which has the formula C8H18, and its isomers, which have the same formula of disel
Whatever it was that was mixed together to form a mixture, is a component of that mixture.
No, it is a gas-solid mixture when view as a whole. It has a solid component (the balloon itself), and a gas component (the helium)
- The percent composition of a compound is established after the chemical analysis of this compound and the knowledge of the chemical formula.- If you know the chemical formula you need to know the atomic weights of the components to calculate the percent composition.
Milk, whether it is sour or not, is a mixture and thus does not have a chemical formula. It is made sour by lactic acid, which has the formula C3H6O3.
Coal is a mixture, and so does not have a chemical formula. The mail component of carbon, though, is elemental carbon, which has the chemical symbol C.
Pure water is a compound. The chemical formula of it is H2O. The component elements are Hydrogen and oxygen.
Sand is a mixture of many different compounds, but the main component is Silicon dioxide, SiO2 .
Component of the mixture
Percent composition can be used to calculate the percentage of an element/compound in a mixture. From the percent composition, you can also find the empirical formula. And from the empirical formula you can find the actual molecular weight.
A dilution ratio is normally used for a mixture of two fluids: an active component and a carrier solvent. The dilution ratio is the ratio of the volume of the solvent to the volume of the active component.
heterogeneous mixture
As petrol is a mixture, it has no exact formula. However, the largest component of almost all commercial petrols is isooctane, which has the formula C8H18, and its isomers, which have the same formula of disel
The formula is Ag2S, but this is a compound, not a mixture.
Whatever it was that was mixed together to form a mixture, is a component of that mixture.
The formula is NH4NO2, though this is a compound, not a mixture.
It is a mixture; a liquid mixture in which the minor component (the solute - the sugar) is uniformly distributed within the major component (the solvent - the water).
