Diamond. It can only be cut with another diamond.
erastova [34]3 years ago
5 0

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.

How are Parkinson's disease and ALS similar?
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

Both diseases affect the control of voluntary muscles.

Explanation:

Parkinson's disease is a progressive brain disease that affects movement. It affects the nerve cells that produce dopamine in the part of the brain called substantia nigra. The symptoms include shaking, stiffness, and difficulty with walking, balance, and coordination. Symptoms get worse with time, often leaving people with difficulty walking and talking.

ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) is a progressive nervous system disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. The first symptoms usually involve muscle weakness, and as the disease progresses, it results in the loss of muscle control.

Scientists don't know the exact cause of these diseases. As the cause is not known, there is no exact way to prevent them. There is no cure for them, either. The treatment is focused on the management of symptoms.

This is why the third option is the correct one.

I2(g) + Cl2(g)2ICl(g) Using standard thermodynamic data at 298K, calculate the entropy change for the surroundings when 1.62 mol
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The change in entropy of the surrounding is -146.11 J/K.

Explanation:

Enthalpy of formation of iodine gas = \Delta H_f_{(I_2)}=62.438 kJ/mol

Enthalpy of formation of chlorine gas = \Delta H_f_{(Cl_2)}=0 kJ/mol

Enthalpy of formation of ICl gas = \Delta H_f_{(ICl)}=17.78 kJ/mol

The equation used to calculate enthalpy change is of a reaction is:  

\Delta H_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta H_f(product)]-\sum [n\times \Delta H_f(reactant)]

For the given chemical reaction:

I_2(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2ICl(g),\Delta H_{rxn}=?

The equation for the enthalpy change of the above reaction is:

\Delta H_{rxn}=[(2\times \Delta H_f_{(ICl)})]-[(1\times \Delta H_f_{(I_2)})+(1\times \Delta H_f_{(Cl_2)})]

=[2\times 17.78 kJ/mol]-[1\times 0 kJ/mol+1\times 62.436 kJ/mol]=-26.878 kJ/mol

Enthaply change when 1.62 moles of iodine gas recast:

\Delta H= \Delta H_{rxn}\times 1.62 mol=(-26.878 kJ/mol)\times 1.62 mol=-43.542 kJ

Entropy of the surrounding = \Delta S^o_{surr}=\frac{\Delta H}{T}

=\frac{-43.542 kJ}{298 K}=\frac{-43,542 J}{298 K}=-146.11 J/K

1 kJ = 1000 J

The change in entropy of the surrounding is -146.11 J/K.

Are you friend with Nitrogen and Oxygen
Oduvanchick [21]

Nitrogen and oxygen do not react at ambient temperature. At high temperatures they have endothermic reactions and produces various oxides of nitrogen.

Explanation:

The difference between nitrogen and oxygen is the nitrogen has seven protons and seven electrons surrounding the nucleus. Whereas the oxygen has eight protons and electrons.

The atoms combines with one another to form molecules. The nitrogen is a inert, colorless gas with no smell or taste, its harmless to human beings.

The oxygen and nitrogen are abundant gases in the atmosphere and have similar physical properties. The oxygen (O2) is twice as soluble in water as nitrogen (N2).
