There are 5.66 moles of hydrogen in the sample of talc(hydrated magnesium silicate).

Given,

Talc formula is  Mg_{3} Si_4O_{10} (OH)_2

moles of magnesium = 8.5 moles

The stoichiometry of magnesium and hydrogen is 3 : 2,

So 3 moles of magnesium is equivalent to 2 moles of hydrogen.

Then 8.5 moles of magnesium is equivalent to \frac{2}{3} *8.5=5.6666 moles

<h3>Talc </h3>

Talc(hydrated magnesium silicate), often known as talcum, is a type of clay mineral made up of hydrated magnesium silicate, having the formula Mg3Si4O10(OH)2. Baby powder is made of powdered talc, frequently mixed with corn starch. This mineral serves as a lubricant and thickening agent. It serves as a component in paint, pottery, and roofing materials. It serves as a key component in many cosmetics. It can be found as foliated to fibrous aggregates and in a remarkably uncommon crystal form. It is foliated with a two-dimensional platy form, has a flawless basal cleavage, and an irregular flat fracture.

Talc(hydrated magnesium silicate), the softest mineral, is assigned a value of 1 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, which is based on scratch hardness comparisons.

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

The answer is Denaturation is reversible

Explanation:

Denaturation of proteins is the process whereby there is a disruption in the tertiary, quaternary or secondary structure of proteins which causes a conformation change in its action

denaturation is reversible, that is, the proteins can regain their native state when the denaturing influence is removed. This process can be called renaturation.
