Describe the differences between elements, compounds, and mixtures. Into which of these categories does a solution fall? Explain.

An element is either just one atom or a combination of the same atom. If they have the same amount of protons, they are the same element.

A compound is a thing that is composed of two or more different atoms.

A mixture is the material that is made out of two or more different elements/compounds (normally mixed together hence the name).

A solution is the outcome of the mixture, therefore a solution falls into the category of a mixture

weight of any object is given by

w = m*g

where m is mass of the object and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

for earth the value of g is 9.8 m/s^2 so

w=117.6 n m=12 g=?

117.6=12g => g=9.8 m/s^2

which is the force of gravity on earth.
