Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Moh's scale is used to detect the harness of a mineral. This scale displays harness of 10 minerals.

According to Moh's scale, the hardness of minerals given in the option are as follows:

Topaz = 8
Talc = 1
Diamond = 10

Graphite is not included in Moh's scale.

Thus, we can conclude that the hardest known mineral is diamond.

Which of the following represents the least number of molecues?

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

Answer: a) 20g of H2O (18.02 g/mol) molecules=6.68x10^23

Explanation:

In order to find the amount of molecules of each of the options, we need to follow the following equation.

$molecules=\frac{mass(g)x6.022x10^{23}(molecules/mol) }{atomic weight(g/mol)}$

So, let´s get the number of molecules for each of the options.

$a) molecules=\frac{20(g)x6.022x10^{23}(molecules/mol) }{18.02(g/mol)}=6.68x10^{23}molecules$

$b) molecules=\frac{77(g)x6.022x10^{23}(molecules/mol) }{16.06(g/mol)}=2.89x10^{24}molecules$

$c) molecules=\frac{68(g)x6.022x10^{23}(molecules/mol) }{42.09(g/mol)}=9.73x10^{23}molecules$

$d) molecules=\frac{100(g)x6.022x10^{23}(molecules/mol) }{44.02(g/mol)}=1.37x10^{24}molecules$

$d) molecules=\frac{84(g)x6.022x10^{23}(molecules/mol) }{20.01(g/mol)}=2.53x10^{24}molecules$

the smalest number is in option a)

Best of luck.

Answer :

Charles's Law : It is defined as the volume is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure and number of moles.

Mathematically,

$V\propto T$

Boiling water bath Cool bath 1 Cool bath 2

Temperature (⁰C) 99 17 2

Temperature (K)(T) 273+99=372 273+17=290 273+2=275

Volume of water 0.0 27.0 34.0

in cool flask (mL)

Volume of water= 135.8 135.8 135.8

Air in flask (mL)

Volume of air 135.8 108.8 101.8

in cool flask (V)

$\frac{V}{T}$ $\frac{135.8}{372}=0.365$ $\frac{108.8}{290}=0.375$ $\frac{101.8}{275}=0.370$

The graph volume versus temperature for a gas is shown below.
