A streak test is used to identify minerals by looking at the color of the streak made by rubbing the mineral against rough, unco

lored ceramic or porcelain. The following table presents the colors of several minerals as well as the colors of the streaks they make.
Mineral Color Streak
Color
Gold golden yellow yellow
Pyrite golden yellow black
Quartz colorless white
Amethyst purple white
Hematite metallic gray red
Galena metallic gray lead gray
Which of the following pairs of minerals can be told apart by their color without performing a streak test?
A.
hematite and galena
B.
gold and pyrite
C.
quartz and amethyst
D.

C.  quartz and amethyst

Explanation:

Quartz and amethyst can be told apart by their color without performing a streak test on them.

This is because from the given choices, their color is different.

   quartz is a colorless

   amethyst is purple

  • Quartz is silicate mineral purely made of silicon and oxygen.
  • Amethyst is a variety of quartz but containing some mineral inclusions that makes its color different.
  • Preforming the streak test gives their color to be white.
  • This cannot be useful in identifying the minerals they contain.
  • Since their natural colors are distinct, it is a more diagnostics tool .

Calculate the values of ΔU, ΔH, and ΔS for the following process:
ladessa [460]

Answer:

ΔU = 45.814 KJ

ΔH = 46.4375 KJ

ΔS = 18.76 J/K

Explanation:

            H2O(l)        →          H2O(l)                →              H2O(steam)

   298.15K, 1atm   ΔHp     373.15K,1atm       ΔHv         373.15K,1 atm

∴ ΔHp = Qp = nCpΔT

∴ n H2O = 1 mol

∴ Cp,n = 75.3 J/mol.K

∴ ΔT = 373.25 - 298.15 = 75 K

⇒ Qp = (1 mol)*(75.3 J/mol.K)*(75K) = 5647.5 J

⇒ ΔHp = 5647.5 J = 5.6475 KJ

⇒ ΔH = ΔHp + ΔHv

∴ ΔHv = 40.79 KJ/mol * 1 mol = 40.79 KJ  

⇒ ΔH = 5.6475 KJ + 40.79 KJ = 46.4375 KJ

ideal gas:

∴ ΔH = ΔU + PΔV

∴ V1 = nRT1/P1 = ((1)*(0.082)*(298.15))/1 = 24.45 L

∴ V2 = nRT2/P2 = ((1)*(0.082)*(373.15))/ 1 = 30.59 L

⇒ ΔV = V2 - V1 = 6.15 L * (m³/1000L) = 6.15 E-3 m³

∴ P = 1 atm * (Pa/ 9.86923 E-6 atm) = 101325.027 Pa

⇒ ΔU = ΔH - PΔV = 46.4375 KJ - ((101325.027 Pa*6.15 E-3m³)*(KJ/1000J))

⇒ ΔU = 46.4375 KJ - 0.623 KJ

⇒ ΔU = 45.814 KJ

∴ ΔS = Cv,n Ln (T2/T1) + nR Ln (V2/V1)

⇒ ΔS = (75.3) Ln(373.15/298.15) + (1)*(8.314) Ln (30.59/24.45)

⇒ ΔS = 16.896 J/K + 1.863 J/K

⇒ ΔS = 18.76 J/K
