Travka [436]3 years ago

4 0

Answer:

This fundamental structural unit consists of a silicon cation surrounded by four oxygen anions giving it four negative charges. It is found in all silicate minerals (ie. amphibole, olivine, pyroxene, quartz, feldspar, etc.). The silica tetrahedra may be arranged in chains (ex: pyroxenes), double chains (ex. amphiboles), sheets (ex: micas), and frameworks (ex: quartz, feldspars), forming the basic structure of the planet.

Is it possible to predict physical or chemical changes? I don't really understand how to predict a change from the information m

Setler79 [48]

Explanation:

It is possible to predict a physical change or chemical change because they have very unique properties and differences.

A physical change is a change that alters the physical properties of matter especially form and state.

A chemical change is a change in which new kinds of matter is formed.

Here are some of the properties and indicators of the these change;

A physical change is easily reversible
Chemical changes are not easily reversible

Physical changes leads to the production of no new kind of matter.
Chemical change produces new kinds of matter

Physical change involves no change in mass
Chemical change involves a change in mass

Physical change requires little to no amount of energy
Chemical change requires considerable amount of energy.

When aqueous solutions of K3PO4 and Ba(NO3)2 are combined, Ba3(PO4)2 precipitates. Calculate the mass, in grams, of the Ba3(PO4)

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Mass of Ba₃(PO₄)₂ = 0.0361 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of Ba(NO₃)₂ = 1.2 mL (1.2 × 10⁻³ L )

Molarity of Ba(NO₃)₂ = 0.152 M

Volume of K₃PO₄ = 4.2 mL (4.2 × 10⁻³ L)

Molarity of K₃PO₄ = 0.604 M

Mass of Ba₃(PO₄)₂ produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

3Ba(NO₃)₂ + 2K₃PO₄ → Ba₃(PO₄)₂ + 6KNO₃

Number of moles of Ba(NO₃)₂ = Molarity × Volume in litter

Number of moles of Ba(NO₃)₂ = 0.152 M × 1.2 × 10⁻³ L

Number of moles of Ba(NO₃)₂ = 0.182 × 10⁻³ mol

Number of moles of K₃PO₄ = Molarity × Volume in litter

Number of moles of K₃PO₄ = 0.604 M × 4.2 × 10⁻³ L

Number of moles of K₃PO₄ = 2.537 × 10⁻³ mol

Now we will compare the moles of Ba₃(PO₄)₂ with K₃PO₄ and Ba(NO₃)₂ .

Ba(NO₃)₂ : Ba₃(PO₄)₂

3 : 1

0.182 × 10⁻³ : 1/3 ×0.182 × 10⁻³ = 0.060 × 10⁻³ mol

K₃PO₄ : Ba₃(PO₄)₂

2 : 1

2.537 × 10⁻³ : 1/2 × 2.537 × 10⁻³= 1.269 × 10⁻³ mol

The number of moles of Ba₃(PO₄)₂ produced by Ba(NO₃)₂ are less it will limiting reactant.

Mass of Ba₃(PO₄)₂ = moles × molar mass

Mass of Ba₃(PO₄)₂ = 0.060 × 10⁻³ mol × 601.93 g/mol

Mass of Ba₃(PO₄)₂ = 36.12 × 10⁻³ g

Mass of Ba₃(PO₄)₂ = 0.0361 g

Which statement correctly describes a difference between aesexual and sexual reproduction?

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

(3rd option) Asexually reproduced offsprings have the same amount of genetic information as the parent, while sexually reproduced offsprings have half as much genetic information.

Explanation:

This is variation is caused as a result of both gamete production and fertilisation.
