Both rutile (TiO2) and  ilmenite (FeTiO3) has the equal percentage of titanium.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • Titanium dioxide has the equal percentage of rutile and ilmenite. It's molecular weight is 79.87 gram per mole. Titanium oxide is a naturally occuring element produced from rutile,ilmenite and anatase.
  • These minerals combine and form titanium dioxide. It will be used in many applications. It will be used in many chemical reactions.
  • Titanium has a ph percentage of 7.5. It has a correct level of ph. So both has a equal level of titanium.

Rutile (TiO2) or ilmenite (FeTiO3) titanium-containing minerals  has the larger percentage of titanium is explained below.

Explanation:

1. Titanium is obtained from different ores that occur naturally on the Earth. Ilmenite (FeTiO3) and rutile (TiO2) are the most important sources of titanium.

2. According to USGS, Ilmenite(FeTio3) accounts for about 92% of the world’s consumption of titanium minerals.

3. World resources of anatase, ilmenite and rutile total more than 2 billion tonnes. Identified reserves total 750 million tonnes (ilmenite plus rutile).

4. China, with 20 million tonnes--accounting for 29% of the world total-- is now the country that is most abundant in terms of ilmenite reserves. Meanwhile, Australia, with 24 million tones rutile reserves—accounting for 50% of the world total—is now the country that is most abundant in terms of rutile reserves.

5.Ilmenite can be mined from both layered intrusive deposits and heavy mineral deposits. It is often found alongside rutile in heavy mineral deposits. Ilmenite is used to make titanium dioxide  pigment or it can be processed into feedstock that can be used in the manufacture of titanium. This has become more common as viable rutile deposits become increasingly scarce. South Africa and Australia are among the world’s largest producer of Ilmenite, each extracting over a million metric tonnes per year.

6.The Mining of titanium from intrusive rock is restricted to ilmenite and its weathered derivative leucoxene. The largest opencast ilmenite mine is Tellnes in Norway’s municipality of Sokndal.

Which of the following is a type of matter
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Everything on Earth can be easily described in terms of one of four forms of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. Students are familiar with the three common forms of matter: solids, liquids, and gases. A solid is an object that has a form.

a sealed container filled with argon gas at 35 c has a pressure of 832 torr. if the volume of the container is decreased by a fa
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

If the volume of the container is decreased by a factor of 2 the pressure is is increased by the same factor to 1664 torr.

Explanation:

Here we have Boyle's law which states that, at constant temperature, the volume of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure

V ∝ 1/P or V₁·P₁ = V₂·P₂

Where:

V₁ = Initial volume

V₂ = Final volume = V₁/2

P₁ = Initial pressure = 832 torr

P₂ = Final pressure  = Required

From V₁·P₁ = V₂·P₂ we have,

P₂ = V₁·P₁/V₂ = V₁·P₁/(V₁/2)

P₂  = 2·V₁·P₁/V₁ = 2·P₁ = 2× 832 torr = 1664 torr

Q26.<br>When added to 20 cm of 0.5 M sulphuric acid, which substance would give a neutral solution?​
wariber [46]

Answer:

Adding sodium or potassium hydroxide in amounts sufficient to convert all the H2SO4 into Na2SO4 would approximately neutralize the solution. The error would be the result of the imbalance between the basicity of the hydroxide and the acidity of the bisulfate (HSO4) anion. An adjustment in concentration would have to be made to achieve an accurate approximate pH of 7. But then you didn’t ask how much we would need to add.
