Type of silicate minerals is shown from this arrangement of silicon tetrahedron: B. single chain

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Silicate minerals are rock-forming minerals made up of silicate groups. Silicate minerals are the largest class of minerals because it make up approximately 90 percent of the Earth's crust. Silica SiO₂ is usually considered a silicate mineral. Silica tetrahedra, made up of silicon and oxygen, form chains, sheets, and frameworks, and bond with other cations to form silicate minerals.

Single chain silicates contain silica tetrahedra that are linked up in a chain by sharing two oxygen atoms. The most common single chain silicate is pyroxene. In single-chain silicates, tetrahedra link to form a chain by sharing two oxygen atoms each. A common mineral in this group is pyroxene.

Pyroxene is any of a large class of rock-forming silicate minerals, generally containing calcium, magnesium, and iron and typically occurring as prismatic crystals

In pyroxene, silica tetrahedra form a chain because one oxygen from each tetrahedron is shared with the adjacent tetrahedron.

Since no choices are given, I would just give the 6 possible tetrahedron structures of silicate minerals. Then, it will be up to you to distinguish which one fits to your choices.

1. Isolated tetrahedra - they are separated by positive charges. An example would be olivine.
2. Ringed tetrahedra - they are linked together by positive charges, like that of tourmaline.
3. Tetrahedra - oxygen is shared by two neighbors like that of the pyroxene family.
4. Double chains/Ribbons - example whould be the amphibole family
5. Silica Sheets - when oxygen is shared by three adjacent molecules like the micas and the clay minerals.
6. Three-dimensional framework - four oxygen atoms are linked to other tetrahedra like feldspar and quartz.

If the titrant has a molarity of 0.1000 m and there are 45.00 ml of analyte present, what is the molarity of the analyte?

marysya [2.9K]

Given:

Concentration of titrant = 0.1000 M
Volume of titrant = 45 mL

The molarity of analyte depends on the amount of the analyte present in the titrated solution. If the amount of analyte is 20 mL, then its concentration is:

45ml * 0.10 M = C analyte * 20 ml

C analyte = 0.225 M

How many moles are in 4.3 x 10 ^22 molecules of Na3PO4

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

0.071 moles of Na₃PO₄ .

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of molecules of Na₃PO₄ = 4.3× 10²² molecules

Number of moles = ?

Solution:

1 mole contain 6.022 × 10²³ molecules

4.3× 10²² molecules × 1 mol / 6.022 × 10²³ molecules

0.71× 10⁻¹ mol

0.071 mol

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

"It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance"

What is the final concentration of a solution prepared by diluting 35.0 ml of 12.0 m hcl to a final volume of 1.20 l? what is th

Dafna1 [17]

We know that, M1V1 = M2V2
(Initial) (Final)
where, M1 and M2 are initial and final concentration of soution respectively.
V1 and V2 = initial and final volume of solution respectively

Given: M1 = 12 m, V1 = 35 ml and V2 = 1.2 l = 1200 ml

∴ M2 = M1V1/V2 = (12 × 35)/ 1200 = 0.35 m
Final concentration of solution is 0.35 m
