<span>nuclear symbol consists of three parts: 1. the symbol of the
element; 2. the atomic number of the element;3. the mass of the element. for
the above problem, the symbol for potassium is k. it's atomic number is 40. the
number of protons is 19. so we denote this in the following nuclear symbol; 40
k 19</span>
Answer:
A. Occur in gaseous and liquid state
Explanation:
The choice that is not a characteristic of minerals is that minerals occur in gaseous and liquid state.
All minerals are solid inorganic compounds.
- A mineral is an inorganic compound that is formed naturally.
- They have a definite and specific chemical composition.
- Minerals are the building blocks of rocks.
- When minerals aggregates together, they form different rock types.
- There is no known mineral that is in fluid state.
- All minerals are solids.
- Examples are quartz, kaolinite, gypsum e.t.c
Explanation:
As the given chemical reaction equation is as follows.

Also, it is given that for 2 moles the energy required is 130 kcal. This means that energy required for 1 mole is calculated as follows.
1 mole = 
= 65 kcal
Hence, energy required for 7 moles will be calculated as follows.
Energy required = 
= 455 kcal
Thus, we can conclude that energy required to produce 7.00 mol
on the basis of given reaction is 455 kcal.
