On a container of chicken broth you notice the instructions to ""shake well before serving."" which of the following best describes the chicken broth? a. a solution b. an element c. a compound d. a suspension e. a pure substance

The correct option is: D. A suspension

Explanation:

A suspension is a type of heterogeneous mixture in which solid particles are suspended through out the bulk of the solvent through mechanical agitation. The solid phase is also known as the internal phase and the solvent is known as external phase. In a suspension, the solid particles are generally larger than one micrometer and thus are unable to dissolve in the medium. The solid particles of a suspension are large enough to get precipitated.

Therefore, in the given situation, the chicken broth is a suspension as the contents or solid particles of the container needs to be suspended in the solvent by shaking to prevent sedimentation.

the correct answer is b. a strong acid completely dissociates to its ions when dissolved in water. completely dissociates to and ions. a is incorrect because does not fully ionize to and ions and some remain as the compound . c and d are incorrect because, and do not fall into the category of bronsted lowry acids. a bronsted lowry acid is a proton donor and since both molecules do not have a proton to donate they are not bronsted lowry acids. likewise,   if we use the lewis acid definition, they cannot be acids. a lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor. both and have a complete octet so can not accept any electrons which disqualifies them as acids.

the formula mass of a molecule or a compound is the sum of the atomic weights of the atoms in its empirical formula

(that's what i know about formula mass)
