C
A mixture is a combination of two or more substances in any proportion. This is different from a compound, which consists of substances in fixed proportions. The substances in a mixture also do not combine chemically to form a new substance, as they do in a compound. Instead, they just intermingle and keep their origin...

[ "16060", "14000", "18000", "12000" ]
D
we have , si = p × r × t / 100 ∴ 11400 = p × 6 × 2 / 100 + p × 9 × 3 / 100 + p × 14 × 4 / 100 or , 12 p + 27 p + 56 p = 11400 × 100 or , 95 p = 11400 × 100 ∴ p = 12000 answer d

What kind of charge do iconic compounds have?
[ "net neutral charge", "white neutral charge", "net positive charge", "net negative charge" ]
A
Ionic compounds consist of oppositely charged ions that are held together by ionic bonds. The opposite charges cancel out so ionic compounds have a net neutral charge. Ionic compounds form when metals transfer valence electrons to nonmetals.

What determines the strength of a base when dissolved in water?
[ "saline content", "amount of phosphorus ions produced", "pH level", "amount of hydroxide ions produced" ]
D
The strength of a base depends on how many hydroxide ions it produces when it dissolves in water. A stronger base produces more hydroxide ions than a weaker base. For example, sodium hydroxide (NaOH), a base in drain cleaner, is a strong base because all of it breaks down into ions when it dissolves in water. Calcium c...
