What does impure mean?
Impurity means is a substance that is present in another substance making it of a low qulity. Means that the substance has some impure (Not pure) articles in it, if water has impurities in it then it has something in it that shouldn't be there it is tainted water.
How many chloride ions are present?
The number of chloride ions present in a given substance depends on the substance size and the type of substance.
Why diamond is colored and graphite is not?
Diamond is transparent. Sometimes it is coloured due to some impurities present in it.
What is the effect of a soluble and nonvolatile impurity on the boiling point of a liquid?
The presence of a non-volatile solute in a solution increases its boiling point. The amount of the elevation of the boiling point depends only on the number of molecules of solute present, and not on their identity. See the article entitled "Boiling-point elevation" on Wikipedia for the maths involved.
What process of going from a gas to a liquid?
When something changes state from a liquid to a gas, evaporation or boiling has taken place. The difference might be that in evaporation, atoms or molecules of the substance "break free" of the liquid and become a gas. In boiling, there is enough heat present that the change is rapid.
What may happen to the boiling point of a substance if there are impurities present?
The boiling point won't decrease
What may happen to the boiling point of the substance if there are impurities present?
The boiling point will increase. The impurities essentially "block" the molecules of the substance from leaving the liquid as a gas, so a higher temp is needed to boil it. see colligative properties.
A simple economic way to clean water?
boiling of water kills the impurities present in it
Is charcoal a substance?
yes charcoal is simply carbon. Though other impurities may be present.
Is charcoal a chemical substance?
yes charcoal is simply carbon. Though other impurities may be present.

Does distillation changes water?
It is a physical process used for the preparation of very pure water. Water is heated to its boiling point, the vapours are collected and condensed. The original vessel contains non volitile inorganic salts and high boiling organics (+100oC) and the receiving container contains water and low boiling organics (-100oC). Some volitle inorganics like ammonia may be present.
What is the present of explain?
Explain is present tense. I/We/You/They explain He/She/It explains The present participle is explaining.
What is the present tense of explain?
The present tense of "explain" is "explains." For example, "She explains the concept clearly."
Is there a difference between natural and synthetic substances?
From a chemical standpoint, there's no difference in the substance itself. However, there may be differences in what impurities are present and their relative concentrations.One of the reasons artificial flavors tend to taste ... well, artificial ... is that they don't have the same blend of impurities as the natural substance does. Artificial vanilla flavoring is just vanillin, which is the main but not the only component in natural vanilla extract. This makes it more of a "one-note" flavor, without the subtleties present in real vanilla extract.
What is the boiling point of matter?
When a substance is heated to its boiling point, the liquid begins to turn into a vapor. Thus, both phases of matter (liquid and vapor) will be present. Boiling point is the temperature at which atmospheric pressure equals the vapor pressure of the liquid. For this reason, the liquid is able to be released into the atmosphere as a gas.
Is quicklime a pure substance?
Quicklime is prepared industrially and is fairly pure -CaO. However, strictly speaking there are always impurities present such as MgO, CaCO3, Ca(OH)2 and other trace elements.
