QUESTION: Problem 6P

To which classes of matter—element, compound, and/or mixture—do the following apply: (a) law of mass conservation; (b) law of definite composition; (c) law of multiple proportions?

ANSWER:

Solution 6P

Step 1 of 2:

Here, we are asked to classify, the element, compound, and/or mixture for the given laws.

An element is one that has a uniform composition. It has only one type of atom or molecule. It cannot be broken into simpler particles.

A compound is a substance obtained from combining two or more elements chemically. They have fixed composition. That is, they are homogeneous.

A mixture is a substance obtained from combining two or more elements physically. Mixtures can be homogeneous or heterogeneous.
