How do you determine whether a system is a subs or homogeneous mixt?

A mixture is homogeneous if its composition and properties are uniform throughout. A substance is a subset of mixtures, characterized by having uniform composition only. To determine if a system is a mixture or a substance, you would need to analyze its physical and chemical properties for uniformity.


Are the following properties physical or chemical?

To determine whether properties are physical or chemical, consider that physical properties can be observed or measured without changing the substance's identity, such as color, boiling point, and density. In contrast, chemical properties describe a substance's ability to undergo chemical changes, such as reactivity with acids or flammability. If you provide specific properties, I can help classify them accordingly.


What is characteristic property of a substance?

The characteristic properties of a substance are always the same whether the sample one is observing is large or small.


Which substance would be most appropriate to determine whether a substance contains simple sugars such as glucose?

Benedict's solution


How do you determine weather a property is physical or chemical?

To determine whether a property is physical or chemical, consider whether the property can be observed or measured without changing the substance's identity. Physical properties, such as color, melting point, and density, can be observed without altering the material. In contrast, chemical properties, like reactivity and flammability, describe how a substance interacts with other substances and involve a change in chemical composition. If a property involves a change in identity or formation of new substances, it's chemical; if not, it's physical.

What does the state of a substance depend on?

Typically pressure and temperature determine whether a substance is gas, liquid or solid. Some substances however are not easily forced into some of the states, and that is determined by by individual molecular qualities.


What properties of substances can you observe and how do these properties determine the usefulness or hazards of a substance?

You can observe physical, chemical, and characteristic properties of a substance and can be used to determine the usefulness of a substance by, giving us information about the substance usually using our 5 senses which are physical properties. Or being able to describe the substances ability to undergo changes to its composition to produce one or more new substances, chemical property. Or even just being able to identify whether or not the substance is pure or not can help us determine if the substance is hazardous or not. two other properties I did not mention were the qualitative and the quantitative properties.

Name four factors upon which a substances state depends?

The state of a substance depends on temperature, pressure, molecular structure, and intermolecular forces. These factors determine whether a substance exists as a solid, liquid, or gas at a given time.

What 2 factors determine the state of a substance?

The two factors that determine the state of a substance are temperature and pressure. These factors influence whether a substance exists as a solid, liquid, or gas.
