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

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 .

How do you know if something is complementary
Tju [1.3M]

When something combines the other is said to be complementary.

Explanation:

Complementary is mainly referred to as combination , that is, when one component goes along with the other. One of the day to day example of a complementary good is bread and butter because bread goes along with butter and thus it makes a good combination.

Complementary in English Grammar means to develop a link . In English Grammar complement falls under a clause. There are three type of complements such as subject complement, object complement as well as adjective complement.

the temperature of a balloon rises from 275 degrees k to 395 degrees k, what would the ending volume be if it started at 5 L
Airida [17]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

7.182K

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

From the question we are given;

  • Initial temperature, T1 = 275 K
  • Final temperature, T2 = 395 K
  • Initial volume, V1 = 5 L

We are required to calculate the final volume, V2

  • Charles's law is the law that relates the volume of a gas and its temperature.
  • It states that the volume of a fixed mass of a gas and its absolute temperature are directly proportional at a constant pressure.
  • Therefore;

\frac{V1}{T1}=\frac{V2}{T2}

To calculate, V2 we rearrange the formula;

V2=\frac{V1T2}{T1}

V2=\frac{(5L)(395K)}{275}

V2=7.182K

Therefore, the ending volume will be 7.182K

An endothermic solution process is described by which of the following?
Temka [501]

Answer:

a. ΔΗ > 0, solution feels cold

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, endothermic process are those in which we can find that the products have more energy than the reactants, therefore energy is absorbed, for which the following equation:

\Delta H=\Delta H_{products}-\Delta H_{reactants}

Must be greater than 0 (positive) thereby, for a solution process we find that the solution feels cold, in such a way, answer is a. ΔΗ > 0, solution feels cold.

Regards.

Why are Sodium (Na) and Chlorine (CI) considered ions when reacting with<br> each other?
vlada-n [284]

The bonds in salt compounds are called ionic because they both have an electrical charge—the chloride ion is negatively charged and the sodium ion is positively charged.

a compound is composed of only c h and O. Combustion of a 519 gram sample of the compound yields 1.24 grams of CO2 and?
densk [106]

Answer:

C3H3O

Explanation:

Question incomplete needs to be rewritten:

A compound is composed of only C, H, and O. The combustion of a .519-g sample of the compound yields 1.24g of CO_2 and 0.255 g of H_2 O. What is the empirical formula of the compound

We can get the answer through calculations as follows.

From the mass of carbon iv oxide produced, we can get the number of moles of carbon produced. We first divide the mass by the molar mass of carbon iv oxide. The molar mass of carbon iv oxide is 44g/mol

The number of moles of carbon iv oxide is 1.24/44= 0.0282

Since there is only one carbon atom in CO2, the number of moles of carbon is same as above

The mass of carbon in the compound is simply the number of moles multiplied by the atomic mass unit. The atomic mass unit of carbon is 12. The mass of carbon in the compound is thus 12 * 0.0282= 0.338

From the number of moles of water, we can get the number of moles of hydrogen. To get the number of moles of water, we need to divide the mass of water by its molar mass. Its molar mass is 18g/mol. The number of moles here is thus 0.255/18= 0.0142 moles

But there are 2 atoms of hydrogen in 1 mole of water and thus, the number of moles of hydrogen is 2 * 0.0142= 0.0283

The mass of hydrogen is thus 0.0283 * 1 = 0.0283g

The mass of oxygen equals the mass of the compound minus that of hydrogen and that of carbon.

= 0.519 - 0.338 - 0.0283= 0.1527g

The number of moles of oxygen is the mass of oxygen divided by its atomic mass unit.

That equals 0.1527/16= 0.00954375 moles

The empirical formula can be obtained by dividing the number of moles of each by the smallest which is that oxygen 0.00954375 moles

H = 0.0284/0.00954375 = 2.97 = 3

O = 0.00954375/0.00954375= 1

C = 0.0282/0.00954375 = 2.95 = 3

The empirical formula is thus C3H3O
