The answer is option e that is e. Iron and magnesium.

Dark silicates have a specific gravity of 3.2 to 3.6 and are composed primarily of silica tetrahedral and iron and magnesium.

Iron and magnesium is a component of dark silicates that have a specific gravity of 3.2 to 3.6.

So the answer is iron and magnesium.

The correct answer is E. Iron and magnesium

Explanation:

Silicates are the most abundant type of minerals in Earth, these are the result of the combination of silicon and oxygen along with other materials. Additionally, not all silicates are identical but differ in composition and physical/chemical features. Indeed, silicates are often classified as dark or dark silicates. In the case of dark silicates, these include different types of silicates such as olivine and biotite that are dark because they contain silica tetrahedral but also iron and magnesium. Thus, dark silicates are primarily composed of silica tetrahedral and iron and magnesium, which is also why they are known as ferromagnesian silicates.

A scientist measures out equal volumes and concentrations of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide solutions. When mixed, these

olasank [31]

Answer:

Neutral solution is formed.

Explanation:

When the hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide which is a strong base are combined together, it produces sodium chloride which is a salt and water. This solution is known as Neutral solution because the solution do not have the characteristics or properties of either an acid or a base. If the concentration of one of the reactant is higher as compared to another reactant so the product has the characteristics of that reactant.

Match the following names of glassware with what you would use them for.

Valentin [98]

Answer:

A) Graduated pipette – Glassware used to accurately transfer small volumes.

B) Volumetric pipette – Glassware used to accurately transfer a small, single volume.

C) Beaker – Glassware best used when greater access to the contents is needed.

D) Buret – Glassware used to deliver a volume not known in advance.

E) Erlenmeyer flask – Glassware used to prevent splashing or evaporation.

F) Volumetric flask – Glassware used to make accurate solutions.

Explanation:

Graduated pipette – Glassware used to accurately transfer small volumes.

A graduated pipette is a pipette, which has a scale that shows its volume marked along the tube. It is used to transfer small volumes accurately.

Volumetric pipette – Glassware used to accurately transfer a small, single volume.

A volumetric pipette is a pipette, which has a ring like marking that is its calibrated volume. So it is used to transfer a single and small volume only. This pipette is used in volumetric analysis.

Beaker – Glassware best used when greater access to the contents is needed.

Beaker is the most widely used glassware in the laboratory. They are used to transfer large volume with less accuracy. They are of different sizes depends on the size of volumes ranging from 10 mL to 1000 mL.

Buret – Glassware used to deliver a volume not known in advance.

Buret is the most important glassware in the quantitative analysis. It has a glass tube with scale which measures the volume and a stopcock at one end from which the solvent is dispersed. It is used to measure the volume of the liquid during the titration in the quantitative analysis.

Erlenmeyer flask – Glassware used to prevent splashing or evaporation.

The most common names of Erlenmeyer flask are conical flask and titration flask. This flask has flat bottom, conical body and cylindrical neck which prevent splashing and evaporation. This flask is used in the titration process in the quantitative analysis. The solvent from the buret is delivered into the conical flask during the titration process.

Volumetric flask – Glassware used to make accurate solutions.

The volumetric flask is also an important glassware in the analytical laboratory. It is used to prepare standard solutions. It is a flask which has a ring like marking that is its calibrated volume. The mentioned volume of volumetric flask is calibrated to have accurate volume.

Hello,

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

$a)\ 2FeSO4 \xrightarrow{\text{Heat}} SO_3+SO_2+Fe_2O_3\\b)\ Decomposition\ Reaction$

Explanation:

Ferrous Sulphate $(FeSO4)$ is generally found as Lime-Green Crystals. On heating, these crystals almost immediately turn white-yellow. They then, break down to produce an anhydrous mixture of Sulphur Trioxide $(SO_3)$ , Sulphur Dioxide $(SO_2)$ as well as Ferric Oxide $(Fe_2O_3)$ .

We can hence, frame a skeletal equation of this reaction and try to balance it.

Hence,

$FeSO4 \xrightarrow{\text{Heat}} SO_3+SO_2+Fe_2O_3$

Now,

a)In order to balance it through the 'Hit &Trial Method', we'll follow a series of steps:

1. First, lets compare the number of Fe (Iron) atoms on the RHS and LHS. We find that, the no. of Fe Atoms on the RHS is twice the number of Fe Atoms on the LHS. We hence, add a co-effecient 2 beside $FeSO_4$ .

2. Now, Iron atoms, Sulphur Atoms and Oxygen atoms occur 2, 2, 8 respectively on both the sides:

Hence, As all the other elements as well as iron, balance, we've arrived upon our Balanced Equation :

$2FeSO4 \xrightarrow{\text{Heat}} SO_3+SO_2+Fe_2O_3$

b) We know that, decomposition reactions are [generally] endothermic reactions in which Large Compounds decompose into smaller elements and compounds. Here, as Ferrous Sulphate decomposes into Sulphur Dioxide, Sulphur Trioxide and Ferric Oxide, the reaction that occurs here is Decomposition Reaction.

The city is using sand trucks to place on the road during ice conditions which best explians the use of the sand

Stolb23 [73]

The sand provides a rough surface on top of the ice for the cars' tires to grip onto. It provides more friction. Salt melts the ice and often provides more friction (the disadvantage is that it eats concrete!).
