PLEASE HELP
Susana heats up a sample of red crystals. While the sample is being heated, a gas is released and a blue powder is left after the heating. Is the sample of red crystals an element or a compound? Explain your answer.

Sagot :


Because more than one substance was released (following a color change signifying a chemical reaction), the sample was indeed, a compound.

Sample response: Susana's red crystal sample is a compound because it was broken down into a gas and blue powder. It is not an element because elements cannot be broken down into simpler substances by ordinary means, such as heating.
