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.

Gasoline has a density of 0.749 g/mL. How many pounds does 19.2 gallons of gasoline weigh? Use significant figures. Do not enter
Yanka [14]
In this question, you are given the gasoline density (0.749g/ml) and volume of the gasoline (19.2 gallons). You are asked the mass of the gasoline in pounds. Then you need to change the grams into pounds and the ml into gallons. The calculation would be:

mass of gasoline= density * volume
mass of gasoline=  0.749g/ml * (1 pound/453.592grams) * 3785.41ml/gallon * 19.2 gallon= 120 pounds

Which metal will react spontaneously with Cu2+ (aq) at 25°C?
Gwar [14]

Answer:

Mg  

Explanation:

The standard reduction potentials are

                                              <u>E°/V </u>

Au³⁺(aq ) + 3e⁻  ⟶  Au(s);     1.42

Hg²⁺(aq)  + 2e⁻  ⟶  Hg(l);     0.85

Ag⁺(aq)    +   e⁻  ⟶  Ag(s);    0.80

Cu²⁺(aq)   + 2e⁻ ⟶  Cu(s);   0.34

Mg2+(aq) + 2e- ⟶  Mg(s);   -2.38

The more negative the standard reduction potential, the stronger the metal is as a reducing agent.

Mg is the only metal with a standard reduction potential lower than that of Cu, so

Only Mg will react spontaneously with Cu²⁺.
