Answer: option d. all of the above.
Explanation:
A mineral is an element or a inorganic compound that existes in nature as solid cristals; usually combined with other minerals in ores.
Some examples of minerals, among many, are titania, wich is TiO2, zirconia, which is ZrO2, silica, which is SiO2, gold, Au, silver, Ag.
As you see the definition and examples given meet the whole features included in the stament: a. the have a chemical formula, b they occur naturally, and c.have a characteristic internal structure (that is the way how the atoms are arranged in the specifi cristal).
2.24 liters is the volume of the gas if pressure is increased to 1000 Torr.
Explanation:
Data given:
Initial volume of the gas V1 = 2.6 liters
Initial pressure of the gas P1 = 860 Torr 1.13 atm
final pressure on the gas P2 = 1000 Torr 1.315 atm
final volume of the gas after pressure change V2 =?
From the data given above, the law used is :
Boyles Law equation:
P1V1 = P2V2
V2 = P1V1/P2
= 1.13 X 2.6/ 1.31
= 2.24 Liters
If the pressure is increased to 1000 Torr or 1.315 atm the volume changes to 2.24 liters. Initially the volume was 2.6 litres and the pressure was 860 torr.
The reaction is
CaC₂(s) + 2H₂O (l) -----> Ca(OH)₂ (s) + C₂H₂ (g)
As we have data of gas ethyne (or acetylene), C₂H₂
We can calculate the moles of acetylene and from this we can estimate the mass of calcium carbide taken
the moles of acetylene will be calculated using ideal gas equation
PV =nRT
R = gas constant = 0.0821 Latm/molK
T = 385 K
V = volume = 550 L
P = Pressure = 1.25 atm
n = moles = ?
n = PV /RT = 1.25 X 550 / 0.0821 X 385 = 21.75 mol
As per balanced equation these moles of acetylene will be obtained from same moles of calcium carbide
moles of calcium carbide = 21.75mol
molar mass of CaC₂ = 40 + 24 = 64
mass of CaC₂ = moles X molar mass = 21.75 X 64 = 1392g
