Always remember that a compound can be separated into simpler substances by chemical methods/reactions. While elements cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical reactions. You can do a flame test and spectrum analysis to determine whether a solid material is an element or a compound. Check the boiling and/or melting point, color or density. Also check the solid material’s reaction with oxygen, hydrogen, calcium, or various acids. Examine and study its physical chemistry. The element(s) that may be present may be identified by checking the absorption edges from an x-ray spectrum.

For instance, a solid white material (A) is heated in the absence of air, decomposing to form a new white material (B) and gas (C). Gas (C) has the same properties as the products when carbon is burned in an excess of oxygen (CO2). How can we determine whether A, B, and C are elements or compounds? A would be a compound since it was broken down into B and C. So how do we determine B and C?

A compound can be decomposed, for the reason that a compound is composed of 2 or more elements. On the contrary, an element cannot be decomposed.

Answer from: Quest

here we have to get the change of moles on decrease the volume of the reaction in gas phase.

the per the given options it will decrease by (d) 11-50%

we know, on decreasing the volume of the gas phase reaction the reaction moves to the product side.

the reaction: so₂cl₂ (g) = so₂ (g) + cl₂ (g) total

the moles at equilibrium: 1 - α α α = 1+α

concentrations: 1 - α α α = 1 + α

(concentration = moles/volume, as volume is 1 l)

(where α is the degree of dissociation)

now the dissociation constant in terms of concentration is :

$k_{c}$ = $\frac{[so2cl2] x [cl2]}{[so2cl2]}$

or, $\frac{\alpha ^{2} }{(1-\alpha)v }$

or, $k_{c}$ = $\frac{\alpha ^{2} }{(1-\alpha) }$ (at v = 1l)

the reaction: so₂cl₂ (g) = so₂ (g) + cl₂ (g) total

the moles at equilibrium: 1 - α α α = 1+α

concentrations: (1 - α)/0.5 α/0.5 α/0.5 = (1 + α)/0.5

thus, the dissociation constant in terms of concentration is :

$\frac{[so2cl2] x [cl2]}{[so2cl2]}$

or, $\frac{\alpha ^{2} }{(1-\alpha)0.5 }$

$\frac{\alpha ^{2} }{(1-\alpha) }$ = $\frac{\alpha ^{2} }{(1-\alpha) 0.5}$

so, the change of 1 : 1/0.5

or, 1: 2

thus it will decrease by 50%.

or, as per the given options it will decrease by 11-50%
