Answer:

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

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).

Calculate the number of moles and molecules of acetic acid in 22gm of it

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

0.366 moles to the nearest thousandth.

Explanation:

The molar mass of acetic acid CH3COOH = 2*12 + 4(1.008) + 2*16

= 60.03 g so the number of moles in 22 g

= 0.366.

Merits of modern periodic table?

ANEK [815]

Answer:

<h3>Merits of modern periodic table:</h3>

The wrong position of some elements like argon, potassium, cobalt and nickel due to atomic weights have been solved by arranging the elements in the order of increasing atomic number without changing their own places.
The isotopes of some element have the same atomic numbers. Therefore, they find the same position in periodic table.
It separates metals from non-metals.
The groups of the table are divided into sub groups A and B due to their dissimilar properties which make the study of elements specific and easier.
The representative and transition elements have been separated.

Hope this helps...

I need three examples of objects with high density and three with low density!!

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

For example, a suitcase jam-packed with clothes and souvenirs has a high density, while the same suitcase containing two pairs of underwear has low density. Size-wise, both suitcases look the same, but their density depends on the relationship between their mass and volume. Mass is the amount of matter in an object.

Consider this equilibrium reaction between carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas, occurring in a sealed flexible container. CO(g) + 3

wariber [46]

Answer:

More H2(g) is added to the container : Towards products.

CO is removed from the container : Towards reactants.

More CH4(g) is added to the container : Towards reactants

H2O(g) is removed from the container : Towards products.

The contents of the container are heated up. : Towards the reactants.

The contents of the container are cooled down : Towards the products.

The pressure inside the container is increased. :Towards the products

The container is stretched to increase the volume: Towards the reactants.

Explanation: :

CO(g) + 3 H2g) → CH4(g) + H2O(g)+ heat

There is released heat, so this reaction is exothermic

If the H2 concentration is increased, the system will try to change the concentration change by shifting the balance to the right, and thus the concentration of products will increase. Towards products.

If the CO is removed, the system will try to change this situation by shifting the balance to the left, and thus the concentration of reactants will increase, the concentration of products will decrease. Towards reactants.

If the CH4 concentration is increased, the system will try to change the concentration change by shifting the balance to the left, and thus the concentration of reactants will increase. Towards reactants

If the H2O is removed, the system will try to change this situation by shifting the balance to the right, and thus the concentration of products will increase, the concentration of products will decrease. Towards products.

If the temperature is increased, the system will reduce the amount of heat released. So the balance will shift to the left. Towards the reactants.

This because the extra heat / energy must be used.

If the temperature is decreased, the system will produce more heat So the balance will shift to the right. Towards the products.

This because more heat /energy needs to be produced to make up for the loss of heat (energy).

If the pressure is increased, the system will shift to the side with fewer moles of gas. In this case, there are 4 moles on the left and 2 moles on the right. So the balance will shift to the right. Towards the products. An increase of pressure has the same effect on the equilibrium as a decrease of the volume.

If the volume is increased, this means the pressure is decreased, the system will shift to the side with most moles of gas. In this case, there are 4 moles on the left and 2 moles on the right. So the balance will shift to the left. Towards the reactants. An increase of volume has the same effect on the equilibrium as a decrease of the pressure.
