Zoe is investigating the composition of substance a, an unknown substance. using chemical processes, she analyzes substance a and determines it is composed of sodium, oxygen, and hydrogen atoms in a ratio of 1 : 1 : 1. what is substance a? a. a compound b. an element c. a heterogeneous mixture d. a homogeneous mixture

A.  A compound

Explanation:

Compound is a pure substance which is made from atoms of different elements combined together in a fixed ratio by mass.It can be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions. Example: sodium hydroxide

Element is a pure substance which is composed of atoms of similar elements.It can not be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions.Example: Copper

Heterogeneous mixture : It is a mixture that has non-uniform composition throughout the solution and the particle size or shapes are also different. There is a physical boundary between the dispersed phase and dispersion medium.  Example: Air

Homogeneous mixture : It is a mixture that has uniform composition throughout the solution and the particle size or shapes are not different. There is no physical boundary between the dispersed phase and dispersion medium. Example: salt water

the answer is true.

the answer is 1 i believe
