Use the information below to answer the following question(s). Silver nitrate (AgNO3), a colorless powder, consists of the metallic element silver (Ag) and two non-metallic elements, nitrogen and oxygen (N and O). Silver nitrate mixed with water (H2O) forms a clear solution. When a piece of copper wire (Cu) is put into a silver nitrate solution, the clear solution turns blue. A silvery white substance forms on the wire and falls to the bottom of the solution. Which statement best explains why silver nitrate (AgNO3) is classified as a compound?

• Silver nitrate contains a metal.

Use the information below to answer the question(s) below. Cotton is a plant product used to make fabric. Cotton is made of cellulose, a fiber not digestible by humans. Cellulose is composed of many sugar molecules bonded together into long chains. Each sugar molecule contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. When cotton fabric is washed, wrinkles often form. The clothing industry uses chemicals to manufacture some cotton fabrics that are wrinkle-free. Dyes are also added to color the cellulose fibers in cotton. A feature that is common to both cellulose and sugar is that both are

Steel is a metal that is made from iron and carbon. During the steel making process, iron and carbon are melted, blended together, and then allowed to harden into a solid. The iron and carbon do not chemically react with each other. After steel was made, 20 samples were taken from one piece and tested. Each sample contained 98% iron and 2% carbon. Which of the following terms best describes steel?

• A. element

• B. compound

• C. homogeneous mixture

• D. heterogeneous mixture
