In the city a street peddler offers you a diamond ring for 30 bucks how can you test the rock

Chemistry

Explanation:

Hardness test — Scratch the rock with a fingernail, a copper penny, a glass plate or nail, and a ceramic plate. Check your Guide to assign it a rating on the Mohs Scale of Hardness.

Color streak test — Test for the “color streak” of the minerals by rubbing the rock across the ceramic plate in the Mineral Test Kit, or across smooth

cement. Look up which colors indicate which minerals are present.

Magnetism test — Hold the magnet in the Mineral Test Kit near your rock. If there is a magnetic pull, it has a metal mineral in it.

Acidity test — Put vinegar in the bottle included in the Mineral Test Kit. Squeeze out a few drops on the rock. If it fizzes, it contains carbonate.

A quick and easy way to find out whether your diamond is real or fake: try fogging it up with your breath. If it clears up after one or two seconds, then your diamond is real, but if it stays fogged for three to four seconds chances are that you're looking at a fake.

Which of the following are acceptable ways to make one liter of 1 M NaCl?
RSB [31]

Initially, weigh the correct amount of NaCl calculated from the formula.

Number of moles  =\frac{Given mass in g}{Molar mass}

As 1 mole of NaCl is given and molar mass of NaCl is 58.44 g/mol, then

1 mole of NaCl= \frac{Given mass in g}{58.44 g/mol}

Mass of NaCl in g = {58.44 g}

Thus,

1 mole of NaCl = 58.44 g.

Now, the weighed amount of NaCl i.e. 58.44 g is added to a 1 liter container and then add small amount of water in the container to dissolve the salt. After that, fill the container with distilled water to the graduation mark or until the total volume reaches 1 liter.

Thus, option (c) is correct i.e. first put one mole of salt in the container then add the water with stirring till the total volume reaches 1 liter.

Match the scientist with their scientific idea. Question 2 options: Substances combine or break apart to create new, different s
aev [14]

Answer:

1. Democritus - Matter was made of different kinds of things.

2. Bernoulli- Gases are formed from tiny particles so small you can’t see them. The particles are spread out into a certain area and move when people walk through them.

3. Priestley- Substances combine or break apart to create new, different substances.

Explanation:

1. Democritus was a philosopher who because of his immense contribution to atomic theory was regarded as the "FATHER OF SCIENCE". His idea was that matter was made of different kinds of things called which he called ATOMOS meaning ATOM.

2. Daniel Bernoulli was another outstanding mathematician and scientist who played a major part in the kinetic molecular theory of gases via his "HYDRODYNAMICA". His idea, which states that "gases are formed from tiny particles so small you can’t see them. The particles are spread out into a certain area and move when people walk through them"

was based on fluid dynamics.

3. Joseph Priestley is remarkably known for his 1774 discovery of oxygen. His findings that air is a mixture of gases and not just a substance made of one element paved the way for his idea that " Substances combine or break apart to create new, different substances".

Calculate the standard potential for a cell that employs the over-all cell reaction: 2Al(s) + 3 I2(s)→2 Al+3 + 6 I- From reducti
Valentin [98]

Answer:

Explanation:

2Al(s) + 3 I₂(s)   →    2 Al⁺³    +     6 I⁻

Aluminium is oxidised and iodine is reduced .

so cell potential = Ereduction - Eoxidation

Al⁺³ + 3e = Al          -  1.66 V

I₂ + 2 e = 2 I⁻             0.54 V

=  .54 - ( - 1.66 )

= 1.66 + .54

= 2.2  V

The activation energy in the diagram is 43.8 kcal/ mole, letter C. You have to note that activation energy is the energy needed for the reaction to occur and produce products. Therefore, the spike after H2 and I2 is reacted is the activation energy of the reaction.
