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.

Calculate the density of the items below. (D = M/V)<br> 1) M = 15g V = 5.0ml *

grin007 [14]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 3.0 g/mL</h3>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

$density = \frac{mass}{volume} \\$

From the question

mass = 15 g

volume = 5 mL

We have

$density = \frac{15}{5} \\$

We have the final answer as

the standard change in Gibbs free energy is Δ????°′=7.53 kJ/molΔG°′=7.53 kJ/mol . Calculate Δ????ΔG for this reaction at 298 K29

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

ΔG = 16.218 KJ/mol

Explanation:

dihydroxyacetone phosphate ↔ glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate

ΔG = ΔG° - RT Ln Q

∴ ΔG° = 7.53 KJ/mol * ( 1000 J / KJ ) = 7530 J/mol

∴ R = 8.314 J/K.mol

∴ T = 298 K

∴ Q = [glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate] / [dihydroxyacetone phosphate]

⇒ Q = 0.00300 / 0.100 = 0.03

⇒ ΔG = 7530J/mol - (( 8.314 J/K.mol) * ( 298 K ) * Ln ( 0.03 ))

⇒ ΔG = 16217.7496 J/mol ( 16.218 KJ/mol )

A container holds 15.0 g of phosphorous gas at a pressure of 2.0 atm and a temperature of 20.0 Celsius. What is the density of t

erik [133]

<span>Density is a value for mass, such as kg, divided by a value for volume, such as m3. Density is a physical property of a substance that represents the mass of that substance per unit volume. We calculate as follows:

PV = nRT
PV = mRT/ Molar mass
m/V = P(molar mass)/RT
Density = P(molar mass)/RT
Density = 2.0 ( 30.97 ) / 0.08206 ( 20 + 273.15) = 2.57 g/L <----First option</span>

Acid palmitic acid has higher melting point, because it has two more methylene groups.

$\text { Myristic acid } \rightarrow \mathrm{CH}_3\left(\mathrm{CH}_2\right)_{12} \mathrm{COOH} \\& \text { Palmitic acid } \rightarrow \mathrm{CH}_3\left(\mathrm{CH}_2\right)_{14} \mathrm{COOH} \\$

Acid palmitic acid has higher melting point, because it has two more methylene groups.

Giving it a greater surface area and therefore more intermolecular van der waals interact than the myristic acid.

stearic arid $\mathrm{CH}_3\left(\mathrm{CH}_2\right)_{16} \mathrm{COOH}$

linoleic acid $\mathrm{C}_{18} \mathrm{H}_{32} \mathrm{O}_2$ (two double bond)

Stearic acid has higher Melting point, because it does not have any Carbon-Carbon double bonds, whereas linoleic acid has two cis double bonds which prevent the molecules from packing closely together.

Which group (give the number) is characterized by 5 valence electrons in the configuration<br> s²p3?

Ivahew [28]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

Group 5A

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Elements in the periodic table are arranged into columns known as groups and rows known as periods.
Elements in the same group share similar chemical properties.
For example, elements in group 5A have five valence electrons with the most high energy level with a configuration of s²p³.
Elements in group 5A include nitrogen and phosphorus among others.
