Questions and Answers

Which of the following statements accurately distinguishes between a compound and a homogeneous mixture?

  • A compound consists of elements chemically combined in a fixed ratio, while a homogeneous mixture has a composition that can vary. (correct)
  • A compound can be separated by physical means, while a homogeneous mixture requires chemical reactions to separate.
  • A compound retains the distinct properties of its constituents, while a homogeneous mixture forms new chemical bonds.
  • A compound has a non-uniform composition, while a homogeneous mixture has a uniform composition.

When a metal nail rusts, which type of change is occurring, and why?

  • Physical change, because the nail's shape remains.
  • Chemical change, because new substances (oxides) are formed. (correct)
  • Physical change, because only the appearance of the nail changes.
  • Chemical change, because the mass of the nail decreases.

Consider a sealed container with a fixed amount of gas. If you increase the temperature of the gas, what happens to the gas according to the properties of matter?

  • The volume of the gas decreases proportionally.
  • The mass of the gas increases.
  • The pressure of the gas increases, assuming the container volume remains constant. (correct)
  • The density of the gas remains constant.
