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.

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 .

yarga [219]

The opportunity costs of working part-time while attending high school could be studying time, grades, and your own free time. It depends on the person, how they do in school, but if it were for me, I would say the benefits outweigh the costs. I have enough time to study and still get good grades in school.

The potential energy diagram shows the gain and loss of potential energy as water molecules decompose into hydrogen and oxygen.
Dovator [93]

Answer:

  • The<em> diagram</em> with the five<em> labels</em> of the parts is in the image attached. Please, see the image.

Explanation:

<u>1) General explanation:</u> a <em>potential chemical energy diagram</em> is used to show how the <em>reactants</em> gain energy until they reach the <em>activation energy</em>, form the <em>activated complex</em>, and release part of the energy to form the <em>products</em>.

The difference between the chemical potential energy of the products and the reactants is the <em>enthalpy of the reaction</em>:

  • ΔH rxn = ΔH products - ΔH reactants.

The labels that correspond to each part of the diagram are explained next.

<em><u>2) Reactants:</u></em>

This is the substances at the start, so they appear on the left bottom side of the diagram.

<em><u>3) Activation energy:</u></em>

It is the energy that the reactants must reach (the highest point) in order to the reaction occurs.

<u><em>4) Activated complex:</em></u>

This is the intermediate state and of highest energy. The reactants have formed a complex at mid way between the reactants and the products.

<u><em>5) Products:</em></u>

These are the substances formed when the reaction is completed. They are lower in energy than the activated complex. They can be either higher or lower in energy than the reactants. The products are shown to the right of the diagram.

<em><u>6) Enthalpy of the reaction:</u></em>

The enthalpy of the reaction is the difference in energy of the products and the reactants. In this case, since, the products are higher in energy, it means that the reaction absorbed energy and it is an endothermic reaction.
