Provide three different examples of how minerals can form on earth

1 answer:

6 0

A mineral is a naturally occurring , solid, crystalline substance with a specific chemical composition. Minerals are usually inorganic and are formed by ionic, covalent or metallic bonding. Ionic bonds are the dominant type of bonds in mineral strictures. 90% of all minerals are ionic compounds. Minerals bonded by covalent bonds are strong, for example carbon bonded together to form diamond. Metallic bonds are a type of covalent bonds where the atoms have a strong tendency to lose electrons and pack together as cations.

5.00 g of a certain Compound X, known to be made of carbon, hydrogen and perhaps oxygen, and to have a molecular molar mass of 7

slega [8]

Answer:

The molecular formula = C6H6

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of compound X = 5.00 grams

Mass of products =

CO2 = 16.39 grams

H2O = 3.46 grams

Molar mass CO2 = 44.01 g/mol

Molar mass H2O = 18.02 g/mol

Molar mass C = 12.01 g/mol

Molar mass H = 1.01 g/mol

Molar mass O = 16. 0g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles CO2 = 16.93 grams / 44.01 g/mol

Moles CO2 = 0.385 moles

Moles C = 1* 0.385 = 0.385 moles

Moles H2O = 3.46 grams / 18.02

Moles H2O = 0.192 moles

Moles H = 2* 0.192 = 0.384 moles

Step 3: Calculate mass

Mass = moles * molar mass

Mass C = 0.385 moles *12.0 g/mol

Mass C = 4.62 grams

Mass H = 0.39 grams

Mass O = 5.00 - 4.62 -0.38 moles

Mass O = 0 grams

Step 4: Calculate mol ratio

We divide by the smallest amount of moles

C: 0.385 moles / 0.384 = 1

H: 0.384 moles / 0.384 = 1

The empirical formula is CH

This molecular formula is 13 g/mol

We have to multiply the empirical formula by n

n = 78 g/mol / 13 g/mol

n = 6

The molecular formula = 6*(CH) = C6H6

Exam 3 Material

Homework Page Without Visible Answers

This page has all of the required homework for the material covered in the third exam of the first semester of General Chemistry. The textbook associated with this homework is CHEMISTRY The Central Science by Brown, LeMay, et.al. The last edition I required students to buy was the 12th edition (CHEMISTRY The Central Science, 12th ed. by Brown, LeMay, Bursten, Murphy and Woodward), but any edition of this text will do for this course.

Note: You are expected to go to the end of chapter problems in your textbook, find similar questions, and work out those problems as well. This is just the required list of problems for quiz purposes. You should also study the Exercises within the chapters. The exercises are worked out examples of the questions at the back of the chapter. The study guide also has worked out examples.

These are bare-bones questions. The textbook questions will have additional information that may be useful and that connects the problems to real life applications, many of them in biology.

Calculate the number of grams contained in each of the following number of moles. Report your answer with the appropriate number

Debora [2.8K]

Answers:

a. 131.85 grams

b. 134.69 grams

To calculate the number of grams in the number of moles given for each compound, consider the formula:

Moles = No. of grams / molar mass

Therefore, to find the gram it will become:

No. of grams = moles x molar mass

a. 0.410 mol of NaCl (sodium chloride)

Molar mass of NaCl = (286.14 + 35.45) = 321.59

No. of grams = moles x molar mass

No. of grams = 0.410 x 321.59 = 131.85 grams

b. 4.80 mol of C2H4 (ethylene)

Molar mass of C2H4 = (12.01 x 2) + (1.01 x 4) = 28.06

No. of grams = moles x molar mass

No. of grams = 4.80 x 28.06 = 134.69 grams

What periodic trends exist for electronegativity?

Anna007 [38]

The highest electronegativity is in the elements in the top left corner of the periodic table, and the lowest in the bottom right corner. Therefore, traveling up or to the left across the periodic table will increase the electronegativity
