How does the structure of a mineral affect its properties?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Softa [21]4 years ago

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.

Ainat [17]

Answer:

a) the final kilocalories per gram for food will be less because the mass was reduced

b)the final kilocalories per gram for food will be less since

c) the final kilocalories per gram for food will be less since the reaction will eventually go to completion

d) the final kilocalories per gram for food will be more.

Explanation:

a) the final kilocalories per gram for food will be less because the mass was reduced from 110.3 to 101.3g

b)the final kilocalories per gram for food will be less since some marshmallow fell off before the reaction

c) the final kilocalories per gram for food will be less since the reaction will eventually go to completion

d) the final kilocalories per gram for food will be more since the thermometer that got stuck will add to the value of final kilocalories per gram

Answer:

The answer to your question is the second option

Explanation:

Reaction

               Al₂(SO₄)₃  + KOH   ⇒   Al(OH)₃   +   K₂SO₄

Process

1.- Check if the reaction is already balanced

                Reactants             Elements             Products                                                                                

                      2                     Aluminum                   1

                      3                     Sulfur                          1

                     13                     Oxygen                      7

                      1                    Potassium                    2

                      1                     Hydrogen                   3

The reaction is unbalanced

2.- Balance the reaction

                 1Al₂(SO₄)₃  + 6KOH   ⇒  2Al(OH)₃   +  3K₂SO₄

               Reactants             Elements             Products                                                                                

                      2                     Aluminum                   2

                      3                     Sulfur                          3

                     18                     Oxygen                      18

                      6                    Potassium                    6

                      6                     Hydrogen                   6

Now the reaction is balanced. The coefficients are 1, 6, 2, 3.

I’m confused because this is the answer key and I don’t know how they got the answer to number 1)
Tems11 [23]

Question One

It's more a question of unscrambling what is there. The answer is correct.

If you look at your periodic table, there is such an element as Na which I suspect might be the problem.

It has an atomic mass of 23. It's atomic number is 11 which means it is the 11th member (by mass) on the periodic table. The other 2 are oxygen and hydrogen.  So Oxygen has an atomic mass of 16 and Hydrogen has an atomic  mass of 1.

Oxygen is number 8 on the periodic table and hydrogen is number 1.

Molecular Mass

Na = 23

O = 16

H = 1

Total 40, just as the answer key says. I've probably given you more than you wanted to know, but if you still have trouble, leave a note.

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

Electrones de valencia.

Explanation:

¡Hola!

En este caso, dado en química se conocen las estructuras de Lewis como representaciones gráficas de como los elementos están enlazados entre sí, debemos tener en cuenta que estos enlaces se forman entre los electrones de valenciam, los cuales son utilizados para su representación. Se sabe que los electrones de valencia son representados con puntos alrededor del elemento a través de puntos que se unen entre sí y son el número de electrons en la capa más externa de los elementos en cuestión; por ejemplo, cloro tiene 7 electrones de valencia, azufre tiene 6, hidrogeno 1, carbono 4 y así sucesivamente.

¡Saludos!
