Chemistry Questions

We know that,

Mass of Carbon = 12 gms

Mass of Oxygen = 16 gms = O2 => 16 * 2 = 32 gms

=> Mass of 1 mole of CO2 = 12 + 32 = 44 gms.

An atom is the smallest particle of a substance. Chemical substances are divided into two major groups. They are

1. Pure Substances (and)

2. Mixtures.

There are two types of pure substances that are Elements and Compounds.

Elements : An element is a substance that is made up of only one kind of atoms and cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means. Metals and Non- metals come under elements.

Examples of elements are Iron, Silver, Gold, Mercury etc.

Compounds : A Compound is a substance that is formed when two or more elements combine chemically.

Examples of compounds are Water, Carbon dioxide, methane, vinegar etc.

Mixtures : A Mixture is formed when two or more substances mixed together but not chemically combined.

Example: Air.

In general, polar solvents dissolve polar solutes, and nonpolar solvents dissolve nonpolar solutes.
As water molecules are polar, polar molecules dissolves in water.
