Chemistry
2 answers:
koban [17]3 years ago

Answer:

b. location c. luster d. taste

Explanation:

  • The following physical and chemical properties for identifying the mineral are Color, Hardness, Luster, Taste, Odor, Etc. The properties help in identifying the place of origin the mineral has come from.  
  • In turn, location can be also used to identify a particular mineral or chemical origin. A mineral located in groundwater reserves has deposits of calcium and hence formed through the limestone rocks of the CaCo3 element.
  • Luster the reflectance properties of the rocks as some minerals don't have lust is called as "earthy," or "dull." And the color is an important property of the mineral and hence is a major tool in identifying the chemical and physical properties.
  • Other properties being Magnetism, Opaqueness and Specific Gravity.

A sample of 211 g of iron (III) bromide is reacted with
Alisiya [41]

FeBr₃ ⇒ limiting reactant

mol NaBr = 1.428

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Reaction

2FeBr₃ + 3Na₂S → Fe₂S₃ + 6NaBr

Limiting reactant⇒ smaller ratio (mol divide by coefficient reaction)

  • FeBr₃

211 g of Iron (III) bromide(MW=295,56 g/mol), so mol FeBr₃ :

\tt n=\dfrac{mass}{MW}\\\\n=\dfrac{211}{295,56}\\\\n=0.714

  • Na₂S

186 g of Sodium sulfide(MW=78,0452 g/mol), so mol Na₂S :

\tt n=\dfrac{186}{78.0452}=2.38

Coefficient ratio from the equation FeBr₃ :  Na₂S = 2 : 3, so mol ratio :

\tt FeBr_3\div Na_2S=\dfrac{0.714}{2}\div \dfrac{2.38}{3}=0.357\div 0.793

So  FeBr₃ as a limiting reactant(smaller ratio)

mol NaBr based on limiting reactant (FeBr₃) :

\tt \dfrac{6}{3}\times 0.714=1.428

You filled out the medical questionnaire and gave it to your new doctor. The doctor reviews the form and then discusses a course
geniusboy [140]

Looking at the information given above, you will notice that, for cancer disease, the patient was sure that his parents and aunts did not have the disease condition but it does not know whether his grand parents and uncles have it or not. Therefore, he will have to find out more about history of cancer in the family.

For heart disease condition, his parents and uncles have heart problems. Because of this, the patient has to undergo preventative care for heart disease.

For diabetes condition, his grand parents have diabetes and he also thinks that his aunts have. Due to this fact, the patient also have to receive preventative care for diabetes.

When iron metal reacts with oxygen, the reaction can form Fe2O3. Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction, and find
I am Lyosha [343]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

Balanced equation: 4Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃

Moles of oxygen gas = 9 moles

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

To answer the question;

  • We first write the balanced equation between iron metal and Oxygen
  • The balanced equation is given as;

4Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃

  • We are given 6 moles of Fe₂O₃

We are required to determine the number of moles of oxygen needed to form 6 moles of Fe₂O₃.

  • From the equation, 3 moles of oxygen gas reacts to produce 2 moles of Fe₂O₃
  • This means, the mole ratio of O₂ to Fe₂O₃ is 3 : 2

Therefore; Moles of O₂ = Moles of Fe₂O₃ × 3/2

Hence, moles of oxygen = 6 moles × 3/2

                                         = 9 moles

Thus, Moles of Oxygen needed is 9 moles
