A pure substance is something like just water (H2O). A homogeneous mixture is a solution with multiple compounds. These mostly contain water, but not always. An example of a homogeneous mixture is H2O+NaCl or NaCl (aq).

What change will show in a graph in temp of an substance a s it is heated will show what?

As a substance is heated, its temperature will increase in a linear manner until it reaches its melting or boiling point, at which point the temperature will remain constant as the substance changes phase. This will appear as a straight line with a plateau on a temperature vs. time graph.


Are there any items from Poole Silver Co that are pure silver vs plated silver?

I was not able to find any references to any sterling (pure) silver items made by the Poole Silver Company. It appears that they only made silver-plated flatware (forks, knives, spoons, etc.) and holloware (bowls, goblets, teapots, etc.)


How can you determine the melting point of a substance based in its heating curve?

Heating curves (temp vs time) show the transition of a solid to a liquid to a gas. The solid begins to absorb heat, which is represented by a gradual increase in your curve starting from the origin. Eventually, the solid will reach the melting point, at which the temperature will cease to increase until it has fully transitioned to a liquid phase. Therefore, the melting point is the y-value correspondind to the first horizontal portion of the heating curve.


Homogeneous vs heterogeneous?

Homogeneous refers to a substance that is uniform in composition, where the components are evenly distributed (e.g. saltwater). Heterogeneous refers to a mixture that is not uniform throughout, with different components visibly distinct (e.g. a salad).


How do you graph mass vs volume?

To graph mass vs volume, plot mass on the y-axis and volume on the x-axis. Each data point will represent a specific object or substance, showing how mass changes with different volumes. The relationship between mass and volume can help determine density, which is a key property of the material being examined.

Do the sugar and water form a pure substance or do they form a mixture?

Well a mixture is like a salad, you can pick out the tomatoes, the lettuce, the olives and what not. If you have sugar plus pure water you definitely can't take out the sugar out of the water, unless you have some super scientifical machine (: . I'm not quite sure what a pure substance is but I would say that it is a pure substance because it can't be a mixture.----------------------------------Sugar water is an example of a solution, which is classified as a homogeneous mixture (vs. mechanical mixture like salad). Water and sugar are both pure substances and when they are combined through physical means (dissolution is a physical process) they make a mixture. Sugar and water can be easily separated through evaporation.Water plus sugar=carbon dioxide


Is Pure water a homogeneous or heterogeneous?

Heterogeneous vs. homogeneous refers to solutions. Pure water is a compound which is bound together chemically. Solutions are combined physically. So technically it is neither.


What makes an element vs a compound homo or hetero?

A pure element or a pure compound are homogeneous.


What is a suspension vs liquid?

A suspension can be separated and does not mix together, but emulsion does mix together. A suspension can be separated but an emulsion cannot be separated.Emulsion: The mixture of substance is in one phase , so they can not be separated mechanically. Eg: ShampooSuspension: The mixture of suspension is not in one phase , so they can be separated mechanically.eg: Mixture of oil& water.

Solute and solvent?

The solvent is the substance that is dissolving something else. The solute is what is being dissolved. For example, if you were dissolving salt in water. The water would be the solvent and the salt would be the solute.


What does the viscosity vs temperature graph show?

The viscosity vs temperature graph shows how the viscosity of a substance changes as the temperature changes. It typically shows that viscosity decreases as temperature increases.


Is ammonia a consumer or a producer?

Consumer vs producer is not an applicable categorization for Ammonia. Ammonia is a substance, a chemical compound.


How easily a substance will dissolve?

The quality of a substance describing its ability to solvate is solubility. Solubility varies by polar vs nonpolar substances, concentrations, and other factors that include the temperature of the solvent.


How many elements can occur in nature?

Clarification needed: How many are found un-bound (pure) in nature? For example: pure gold nuggets, atmospheric nitrogen, etc. Or how many are naturally occurring on Earth (even if they're in compounds and not pure) vs. how many are created only by humans in a lab?


What do phase diagrams describe for a particular substance?

Phase diagrams describe the relationship between temperature, pressure, and the phase of a substance (solid, liquid, gas). They show the conditions under which a substance exists in different phases or transitions between phases.
