Answer:

Mineral hydration.

Explanation:

Mineral hydration is a chemical reaction where water is added to the crystal structure of a mineral, usually creating a new mineral sometimes called a hydrate. The process called mineral hydration is known as retrograde alteration and is a process occurring in retrograde metamorphism.

Examples are: Silicates - Chlorites and Non-sillicates - Carbonates, oxides etc.

How do you convert Celsius to kelvins

nikdorinn [45]

Answer: The values can be converted from one unit to other unit still keeping the meaning same. We use the number 273 (273.15 exactly) to convert from Celsius to Kelvin and vice versa. . ... Kelvin temperature scale: In Kelvin temperature scale, the zero point is shifted from freezing point of water to the absolute zero point.

Chemical bonds between atoms in molecules such as H2, CH4, NH3, and

rosijanka [135]

Answer:In ionic compounds, electrons are transferred between atoms of different elements to form ions. But this is not the only way that compounds can be formed. Atoms can also make chemical bonds by sharing electrons equally between each other. Such bonds are called covalent bonds. Covalent bonds are formed between two atoms when both have similar tendencies to attract electrons to themselves (i.e., when both atoms have identical or fairly similar ionization energies and electron affinities). For example, two hydrogen atoms bond covalently to form an H2 molecule; each hydrogen atom in the H2 molecule has two electrons stabilizing it, giving each atom the same number of valence electrons as the noble gas He.

Compounds that contain covalent bonds exhibit different physical properties than ionic compounds. Because the attraction between molecules, which are electrically neutral, is weaker than that between electrically charged ions, covalent compounds generally have much lower melting and boiling points than ionic compounds. In fact, many covalent compounds are liquids or gases at room temperature, and, in their solid states, they are typically much softer than ionic solids. Furthermore, whereas ionic compounds are good conductors of electricity when dissolved in water, most covalent compounds are insoluble in water; since they are electrically neutral, they are poor conductors of electricity in any state.

A hydrocarbon (an organic compound containing only C and H) is found to be 7.74% H. If the molecular weight is known to be betwe

ivann1987 [24]

The molecular weight is between 70 and 85. Let's accidentally pick some quantity in amid, like 78.
7.74% of 78 is how many 'u' there are of H:
78 u * 7.74% = 78 u * .0774 = 6.0372 u
The only hydrocarbon below that has 6 hydrogens is C6H6. We can even check this answer:
Total u = 6C + 6H
= 6(12.01) + 6(1.0079)
= 78.11 u
6(1.0079) / 78.11 * 100 = 7.74%

For most solids at room temperature, the specific heat is determined by oscillations of the atom cores in the lattice (each osci

Cloud [144]

Answer:

The specific heat of copper is $C= 392 J/kg\cdot ^o K$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The amount of energy contributed by each oscillating lattice site is $E =3 kT$

The atomic mass of copper is $M = 63.6 g/mol$

The atomic mass of aluminum is $m_a = 27.0g/mol$

The specific heat of aluminum is $c_a = 900 J/kg-K$

The objective of this solution is to obtain the specific heat of copper

Now specific heat can be defined as the heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of a substance by $1 ^o K$

The general equation for specific heat is

$C = \frac{dU}{dT}$

Where $dT$ is the change in temperature

$dU$ is the change in internal energy

The internal energy is mathematically evaluated as

$U = 3nk_BT$

Where $k_B$ is the Boltzmann constant with a value of $1.38*10^{-23} kg \cdot m^2 /s^2 \cdot ^o K$

T is the room temperature

n is the number of atoms in a substance

Generally number of atoms in mass of an element can be obtained using the mathematical operation

$n = \frac{m}{M} * N_A$

Where $N_A$ is the Avogadro's number with a constant value of $6.022*10^{23} / mol$

M is the atomic mass of the element

m actual mass of the element

So the number of atoms in 1 kg of copper is evaluated as

$m = 1 kg = 1 kg * \frac{10000 g}{1kg } = 1000g$

The number of atom is

$n = \frac{1000}{63.6} * (6.0*0^{23})$

$= 9.46*10^{24} \ atoms$

Now substituting the equation for internal energy into the equation for specific heat

$C = \frac{d}{dT} (3 n k_B T)$

$=3nk_B$

Substituting values

$C = 3 (9.46*10^{24} )(1.38 *10^{-23})$

$C= 392 J/kg\cdot ^o K$

1. In apothecaries' measures: 1 scruple = 20 grains, 1 ounce = 480 grains, 1 oz = 28.34 g

laila [671]

Answer:

5.89 g × 10⁶ μg

Explanation:

Step 1: Convert 5.00 scruples to grains

We will use the conversion factor 1 scruple = 20 grains.

5.00 scruple × 20 grain/1 scruple = 100 grain

Step 2: Convert 100 grains to ounces

We will use the conversion factor 1 oz = 480 grains.

100 grain × 1 oz/480 grain = 0.208 oz

Step 3: Convert 0.208 oz to grams

We will use the conversion factor 1 oz = 28.34 g.

0.208 oz × 28.34 g/1 oz = 5.89 g

Step 4: Convert 5.89 g to micrograms

We will use the conversion factor 1 g = 10⁶ μg.

5.89 g × 10⁶ μg/1 g = 5.89 g × 10⁶ μg
