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 reactants have a potential energy of 10.2 kJ/mol and the products have a potential
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

The ΔH is 5.5 kJ/mol and the reaction is endothermic.

Explanation:

To calculate the ∆H (heat of reaction) of the combustion reaction, that is, the heat that accompanies the entire reaction, you must make the total sum of all the heats of the products and of the reagents affected by their stoichiometric coefficient ( number of molecules of each compound participating in the reaction) and finally subtract them:

Combustion enthalpy = ΔH = ∑H products - ∑Hreactants

In this case:

ΔH = 15.7 kJ/mol - 10.2 kJ/mol= 5.5 kJ/mol

An endothermic reaction is one whose enthalpy value is positive, that is, the system absorbs heat from the environment (ΔH> 0).

<u><em>The ΔH is 5.5 kJ/mol and the reaction is endothermic.</em></u>

If you have 2.1 liters of hydrogen gas (at STP), what mass of hydrogen gas would you have?
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

0.19 g

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Volume of hydrogen at standard temperature and pressure (STP): 2.1 L

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 2.1 L of hydrogen  at STP

At STP (273.15 K and 1 atm), 1 mole of hydrogen has a volume of 22.4 L if we treat it as an ideal gas.

2.1 L × 1 mol/22.4 L = 0.094 mol

Step 3: Calculate the mass corresponding to 0.094 moles of hydrogen

The molar mass of hydrogen is 2.02 g/mol.

0.094 mol × 2.02 g/mol = 0.19 g

Consider separate solutions of NaOH and KClmade by dissolving 100.0 g of each solute in 250.0 mL of solution. Calculate the conc
gladu [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

MW of NaOH = 40 g/mol

MW of KCl = 74.55 g/mp;

250 mL = .25 L

100g NaOH / 40 g = 25 mol

100g KCl/ 74.55g = 1.34 mol

Molarity of NaOH: 25/.25 = 100M

Molarity of KCl: 1.34/.25 = 5.36 M

Consider the reaction.
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

when the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal

Explanation:

In a chemical system, the reaction reaches a dynamic equilibrium when the rate of formation of product equals the rate of formation of reactants. This implies that both the forward and revered(backwards) reaction are occurring at the same rate.
