Classify each of the following as a pure substance or a mixture. If a mixture, indicate whether it is homogeneous or heterogeneous: c. magnesium

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Identify the nature of magnesium: Magnesium is an element found on the periodic table, represented by the symbol Mg.
Understand the definition of a pure substance: A pure substance consists of a single type of element or compound with a fixed composition.
Determine if magnesium fits the criteria for a pure substance: Since magnesium is an element, it is made up of only one type of atom.
Conclude that magnesium is a pure substance because it is composed entirely of magnesium atoms without any other elements or compounds mixed in.
Since magnesium is a pure substance, it is neither a homogeneous nor a heterogeneous mixture.

Consider the jar of jelly beans in the photo. To get an estimate of the number of beans in the jar you weigh six beans and obtain masses of 3.15, 3.12, 2.98, 3.14, 3.02, and 3.09 g. Then you weigh the jar with all the beans in it, and obtain a mass of 2082 g. The empty jar has a mass of 653 g. Based on these data, estimate the number of beans in the jar. Justify the number of significant figures you use in your estimate.
