Answer is: quartz will scratch apatite.

Friedrich Mohs devised a scale that tested mineral hardness, which means the resistance of a mineral to being scratched. This scale (from 1 to 10) is known as the Mohs Hardness Test.

Quartz has Mohs hardness 7 and apatite 5, so quartz is harder.

Diamond has hardness 10 and corundum 9.

Talk has hardness 1 and gypsum 2.

Calcite has Mohs hardness 3.

If 3.5 moles of nitrogen monoxide (NO) react with 6.0 moles of oxygen gas (O2), how many moles of the product can be formed and
jasenka [17]

Answer: -

4.25 mol of O₂ left as excess.

3.5 mol of NO₂ formed.

Explanation: -

Number of moles of NO taken = 3.5

Number of moles of O₂ taken = 6.0

The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is

2 NO+ O₂ → 2 NO₂

From the equation we can see that

2 mol of NO react with 1 mol of O₂

3.5 mol of NO react with \frac{1 mol O2}{2 mol NO} x 3.5 mol NO

= 1.75 mol O₂

So Oxygen O₂ is in excess and NO is the limiting reagent.

Moles of O₂ left over = 6 - 1.75 =4.25 mol of O₂

From the balanced chemical equation we see

2 mol of NO gives 2 mol of NO₂

3.5 mol of NO gives\frac2 mol NO2}{2 mol NO} x 3.5 mol NO

= 3.5 mol of NO₂
