According to Moh's hardness scale, your fingernail would be rated as 2.5. Juan and Carol are trying to identify an unknown miner

al. Carol can scratch the mineral sample with her fingernail. Juan and Carol know the mineral MUST be one of these four choices.
Based on the scratch test, the mineral is
A) apatite.
B) calcite.
C) gypsum.
D) pyrite. '

I believe C is the answer because it is softer than your fingernail and the rest are harder.

How do you find the amount of moles is .032 grams of water and whats the answer
masha68 [24]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 0.0018 \ mol \ H_2 O }}

Explanation:

First, we need to find the molecular mass of water (H₂O).

H₂O has:

  • 2 Hydrogen atoms (subscript of 2)
  • 1 Oxygen atom (implied subscript of 1)

Use the Periodic Table to find the mass of hydrogen and oxygen. Then, multiply by the number of atoms of the element.

  • Hydrogen: 1.0079 g/mol
  • Oxygen: 15.9994 g/mol

There are 2 hydrogen atoms, so multiply the mass by 2.

  • 2 Hydrogen: (1.0079 g/mol)(2)= 2.0158 g/mol

Now, find the mass of H₂O. Add the mass of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom.

  • 2.0158 g/mol + 15.9994 g/mol = 18.0152 g/mol

Next, find the amount of moles using the molecular mass we just calculated. Set up a ratio.

0.032 \ g  \ H_2 O* \frac{ 1 \ mol \ H_2 O}{18.0152 \ g \ H_2 O}

Multiply. The grams of H₂O will cancel out.

0.032 * \frac{1 \ mol \ H_2 O}{18.0152 }

\frac{0.032 *1 \ mol \ H_2 O}{18.0152 }

0.00177627781 \ mol \ H_2 O

The original measurement given had two significant figures (3,2). We must round to have 2 significant figures. All the zeroes before the 1 are not significant. So, round to the ten thousandth.

The 7 in the hundred thousandth place tells us to round up.

0.0018 \ mol \ H_2 O

There are about <u>0.0018 moles in 0.032 grams.</u>

At 2°C, the vapor pressure of pure water is 23.76 mmHg and that of a certain seawater sample is 23.09 mmHg. Assuming that seawat
wariber [46]

Answer:

0.808  M

Explanation:

Using Raoult's Law

\frac{P_s}{Pi}= x_i

where:

P_s = vapor pressure of sea water( solution) = 23.09 mmHg

P_i = vapor pressure of pure water (solute) = 23.76 mmHg

x_i = mole fraction of water

∴

\frac{23.09}{23.76}= x_i

x_i = 0.9718

x_i+x_2=1

x_2 = 1- x_i

x_2 = 1- 0.9718

x_2 = 0.0282

x_i = \frac{n_i}{n_i+n_2}  ------ equation (1)

x_2 = \frac{n_2}{n_i+n_2}  ------ equation (2)

where; (n_2) = number of moles of sea water

(n_i) = number of moles of pure water

equating above equation 1 and 2; we have :

\frac{n_2}{n_i}= \frac{0.0282}{0.9178}

= 0.02901

NOW, Molarity =  \frac{moles of sea water}{mass of pure water }*1000

= \frac{0.02901}{18}*1000

= 0.001616*1000

= 1.616 M

As we assume that the sea water contains only NaCl, if NaCl dissociates to Na⁺ and Cl⁻; we have \frac{1.616}{2} =0.808 M
