Answer:

A naturally occurring, inorganic solid with an orderly crystalline structure and a definite chemical composition is a <u>mineral.</u>

Explanation:

The word mineral is used in different ways, one of them being  when referring to any valuable material extracted from the Earth, like coal for example. By definition, a mineral is a naturally occurring (as they are form by geological processes that are not human-controlled or affected), inorganic solid (that's is to say something that it is not animal or plant and that is not in the form of liquid or gas), with an orderly crystalline structure (atoms are arranged in an organized and repetitive pattern) and a definite chemical composition (although the chemical composition of minerals is always definite, it can vary within some specific limits and types of minerals).

How many moles of phosphoric acid would be needed to produce 15 grams of water?
bekas [8.4K]

Moles of phosphoric acid would be needed : 0.833

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

15 grams of water

Required

moles of phosphoric acid

Solution

Reaction(decomposition) :

H3PO4 -> H2O + HPO3

mol water (H2O :

= mass : MW

= 15 g : 18 g/mol

= 0.833

From the equation, mol ratio H3PO4 = mol H2O = 1 : 1, so mol H3PO4 = 0.833

Pick the correct statement for the following isotope: a. 42Ca 42 is the mass number and 20 is the atomic number. b. 42 is the nu
kramer

Answer:

A

Explanation:

To label an element correctly using a combination of the symbol, mass number and atomic number furnishes some important information about the element.

We can obtain these information from the element provided that correct labeling of the element is presented. Firstly, after writing the symbol of the element, the atomic number is placed as a subscript on the left while the mass number of the atomic mass is placed as a superscript on the same left.

Looking at the question asked, we have the element symbol in the correct position as Ca, with 42 also in the correct position which is the mass number. The third number which is 20 is thus the atomic number of the element.

What similarities do nuclear energy and chemical energy share?
nadya68 [22]
Atoms can be the source of both nuclear and chemical energy. Nuclear energy involves the atom's nucleus; chemical energy involves the atom's electrons—subatomic particles that surround the nucleus.
