Question

this is a dish containing calcium chloride. calcium chloride is a white solid that is added to sidewalks to melt snow and ice. the solid contains one calcium ion for every two chloride ions. at high temperatures, it can be chemically decomposed into calcium metal and chlorine gas. classify calcium chloride. element compound homogeneous mixture heterogeneous mixture

Explanation:

A compound is a substance formed when two or more elements chemically bond together. Calcium chloride ($CaCl_2$) consists of calcium ($Ca$) and chlorine ($Cl$) elements chemically combined. An element is a pure substance with only one type of atom. A homogeneous mixture has a uniform composition but no chemical bonding. A heterogeneous mixture has visibly different components. Since calcium chloride has a fixed chemical formula and elements are chemically bonded, it is a compound.

Answer:

compound
