Compounds are made of two or more kinds of atoms joined to form definite froup while mixture are two element not chemically bonded. 2 alkene or akyne unsaturated hydrocarbons

ProlificEric:
QUESTION 4
(a) Differentiate between a compound and a mixture.

(b)An organic compound reacted with bromine water to give a colourless solution. What compound is this?

i suggest that this question be timed, for some might search for the answer online

A compound is a group of elements chemically combined together while a mixture is a group of elements physically combined together. b. The compound is an unsaturated hydrocarbon which is the alkene and alkyne.

Pls endeavour not to edit the first answer you post as it will lead to authomatic disqualification.

Answer
A compound is always heterogeneous while mixture nay be homogeneous
Compound are chemically combined together and can not be separated by physical means while mixture are not chemically combined together and it can be easily separated by physical means

A mixture is formed when two or more substances are physically mixed together.

A compound is formed when two or more substances are chemically combined through a chemical reaction.

A compound is made up of more than one chemical element chemically bonded together with the resultant compound chemically and physically differents from the reacting elements
A mixture is made up of more than one substance physical mixed together with no distinct chemical change from the original constituents. The mixture has a mixture of the physical properties of each of constituents.
2. The compound is an alkene. E.g ethene

The answer for (b) is alkyne

Compound is formed when two or more elements are chemically combine together e.g C+O2-Co2 WHILE Mixture is form when two or more elements are physically combine together. It can be easily separated e.g Sand + Water

B. Alkenes

A. A compound is substance which contains two or more elements chemically combined together e.g water while a mixture contains two or more constituents which can easily be separated by physical method.


B. Alkyne

B the compound is alkyne

Swegzfreak:
Compound can not be splitter by physical means while mixture can be splited by physical means

B. Alkyne

muktarimusa:
(a) a compound is a homogenous mixture of two or more elements, while a mixture is an inhomogenous mixture
(b) Iodine solution

you just grouped mixtures into homogenous and inhomogenous mixtures. You classified a compound as a mixture rather than differentiate them.
I guess we will be having a new winner today.

How? Your proof?

You don't even know if I was correct enemy of hate...

must a mixture be only between elements? Can't we have sand+ iron mixture or mud+water mixture, cofee+milk mixture? At least sand is made up of elements and compound.
Also your definition of mixture tells us that the elements are not chemically bonded, it however doesn't tell us if they are physically bonded or not.
You know... A spoon of sodium and a bottle of chlorine could be away from each other in a room.
They are not chemically bonded at that point but that doesn't mean they are physically "mixed" either.

I dont care if you were correct or not...
There was no answer to the second question when you first answered

All the best bro.. Check my phone time when I screenshot it...
Its your head ache though...

Some answers are complete but not completely correct; some are correct but incomplete, they either answer 1 or 2.
Why una dey rush na

lol... let others chaw this one.
Although i didn't google the answers sha.....i know many used google.

Sinestroo:
A compound is made up of more than one chemical element chemically bonded together with the resultant compound chemically and physically differents from the reacting elements
A mixture is made up of more than one substance physical mixed together with no distinct chemical change from the original constituents. The mixture has a mixture of the physical properties of each of constituents.
2. The compound is an alkene. E.g ethene

but why did it too you soooo long to post this small answer

I drop out for Ss2. I no do organic chem for ss3. So I just try remember small when dem been dey teach my seniors for school that year
I been see the question late sha

I leave it to the umpire to judge. Nemo judex in casua sua-no one can be the judge in his own case. Thanks.

lol. I wan fault everybody answer so my own go be the first correct answer.

a. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COMPOUND AND MIXTURE: COMPOUND 1. It is a pure substance. 2. It can not be separated by physical method. 3. Element loose their properties in a compound. 4. Its composition is fixed through out its mass. 5. It has fixed melting point. MIXTURE 1. It is an impure substance. 2. It can be separate by physical method. 3. Substances forming mixture retain their properties. 4. It has no fixed composition. 5. It has no sharp melting point.
b. the answer is alkyne

Keep the answers coming. If there is a winner, he/she will be declared by 6 pm today,

muktarimusa:

the statement is directed strictly to sinestro...primarily due to how he ridiculed my victory yesterday. but if you have genuine math problem, you can whatsapp me on ....( NB: don't just send gibberish to test my maths prowess)

.

Sinestroo:

you this guy...shey you know say you suppose to give me half of the yesterday's prize. cos i was the first to post half of the correct answer. (which was 40320)

Time for today's winner to be declared.

OP where are you is already 6pm

The answer to today's question is:
(a) A compound is a substance that contains two or more elements chemically combined together e.g water.

The answer to the b part of the question is alkyne

A mixture is a substance that contains two or more constituents which can be easily separated by a physical method
