Pyrite:

1. pyrite is yellow brass mineral.

2. its chemical composition is  FeS2.

3. it is also called ore of gold

4. it is used in jewelry.

Talc:

Talc is used in paper making, plastics, and paint (correct statement)

1. it is phyllosilicate mineral in the form of sheets.

2. its chemical formula is Mg3Si4O10 (OH)2.

3. it is very important constituent of roofing material.

4. it is used in many industries like paper making, paints, electrical cables, food etc.

Quartz:

For the reaction: N2O5(g) \longrightarrow⟶ 2NO2(g) + 1/2O2(g)
ivanzaharov [21]
The given equation from the problem above is already balance,
                                 N2O5 ---> 2NO2 + 0.5O2
Since, in every mole of N2O5 consumed, 2 moles of NO2 are formed, we can answer the problem by multiplying the given rate, 7.81 mol/L.s with the ratio.
                    (7.81 mol/L.s) x (2 moles NO2 formed/ 1 mole of N2O5 consumed)
                       = 15.62 mol/L.s
The answer is the rate of formation of NO2 is approximately 15.62 mol/L.s.
