How does the structure of a mineral affect its properties?

Purely for crystalline structure, "twinning" or repetition of crystal forms can bring about a striated texture on the mineral. Crystal defects and chemical impurities can alter the physical and electrical properties of a mineral. Some minerals can exist in different crystal forms and exhibit "polymorphism." The range in crystal structure can change the mineral's hardness, strength, solubility, electrical properties, melting points, etc.

Assume the molality of isoborneol in your product is 0.275 mol/kg. What is the melting point of your impure sample given that th

aliina [53]

Answer:

168°C is the melting point of your impure sample.

Explanation:

Melting point of pure camphor= T =179°C

Melting point of sample = $T_f$ = ?

Depression in freezing point = $\Delta T_f$

Depression in freezing point is also given by formula:

$\Delta T_f=i\times K_f\times m$

$K_f$ = The freezing point depression constant

m = molality of the sample = 0.275 mol/kg

i = van't Hoff factor

We have: $K_f$ = 40°C kg/mol

i = 1 ( non electrolyte)

$\Delta T_f=1\times 40^oC kg/mol\times 0.275 mol/kg$

$\Delta T_f=11^oC$

$\Delta T_f=T- T_f$

$T_f=T- \Delta T_f=179^oC-11^oC=168^oC$

168°C is the melting point of your impure sample.

if i initially have 4.0 L of a gas at a pressure of 1.1 atm, what will the volume be if i increase the pressure to 3.4 atm

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 1.29 L</h3>

Explanation:

The new volume can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is

$P_1V_1 = P_2V_2$

Since we are finding the new volume

$V_2 = \frac{P_1V_1}{P_2} \\$

From the question we have

$V_2 = \frac{4 \times 1.1}{3.4} = \frac{4.4}{3.4} \\ =1.294117647...$

We have the final answer as

<h3>1.29 L</h3>

Hope this helps and
