Question options: <em> a. have a crystal structure b. has an unpredictable chemical structure c. can be liquid or solid d. can be organic or inorganic .</em>

Answer:

options (a) and (c) applies

Explanation:

  • Minerals usually have a definite crystalline structure, however this is not always the case, as some naturally occurring minerals are not crystal like.
  • the chemical structure of minerals are predictable.
  • Minerals can only exist as solids. if any substance is in its liquid form then its not a mineral.
  • finally minerals can either be inorganic or organic.Inorganic minerals do not contain carbon, while organic minerals are made up of carbon

Minerals are solid, naturally occurring, inorganic compounds that possess an orderly internal structure and a regular chemical composition. Minerals should occur naturally. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.

At 400 K, the equilibrium constant for the reaction Br2 (g) + Cl2 (g) ↔ 2BrCl (g) is Kp = 7.0. A closed vessel at 400 K is charg
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

(a) The equilibrium partial pressure of BrCl (g) will be greater than 2.00 atm.

Explanation:

Q is the coefficient of the reaction and is calculated the same of the way of the equilibrium constant, but using the concentrations or partial pressures in any moment of the reaction, so, for the reaction given:

Q = (pBrCl)²/(pBr₂*pCl₂)

Q = 2²/(1x1)

Q = 4

As Q < Kp, the reaction didn't reach the equilibrium, and the value must increase. As we can notice by the equation, Q is directly proportional to the partial pressure of BrCl, so it must increase, and be greater than 2.00 atm in the equilibrium.

The partial pressures of Br₂ and Cl₂ must decrease, so they will be smaller than 1.00 atm. And the total pressure must not change because of the stoichiometry of the reaction: there are 2 moles of the gas reactants for 2 moles of the gas products.

Because is a reversible reaction, it will not go to completion, it will reach an equilibrium, and as discussed above, the partial pressures will change.

Assume prices increase from $15 to $18, yet quantity remains at 25. What is the total revenue?
UNO [17]

Given:

Number of items = 25

Price per item = $18

<u>To determine:</u>

The total revenue

<u>Explanation:</u>

Total revenue = quantity * price per item

                       = 25 items * 18 dollar/ 1 item = $450

Ans: A) The total revenue is $450

Given a reaction in which one tin atom that is bonded to two oxygen atoms reacts with 4 hydrogen atoms, which of the following p
alexira [117]

Answer:

A tin atom and 2 molecules containing two hydrogen atoms bonded to one oxygen atom.

Explanation:

Equation of reaction:

SnO2 + 2H2 ---> Sn + 2H2O

According to Dalton's postulates:

1. All elements are made up of small indivisible particles called atoms

2. The atom cannot be created nor destroyed

3. The atoms of the same element are alike in every aspect and differ from atoms of all other elements

4. During a chemical reaction there is a combination of atoms in small whole numbers.

From the given options, the one that satisfies the postulates of Dalton is:

"A tin atom and 2 molecules containing two hydrogen atoms bonded to one oxygen atom"

This is because it gives a balanced chemical equation for the number of atoms reacting for each element is equal to the number of atoms of each element produced. This is in accordance with the postulate that atoms are neither created nor destroyed.

The three other postulates are also obeyed. The small whole number ratio for the reactants and products in the chemical reaction is 1 : 2 : 2.
