Answer: Luster

Explanation:

A mineral is a natural solid that has a a definite chemical composition.

There are two kinds of minerals : metallic and non -metallic

The mineral test was used if a geologist refers to a mineral as metallic is luster because luster gives a way in which a metal reflects the light.

If a mineral is metallic then it will reflect light.

Hence, Luster was used if a geologist refers to a mineral as metallic.

Streak. It couldn't be hardness because some minerals are soft and metallic, and some are hard and metallic. Also, it can't be luster, because most gems are minerals, and most luster, but they're not metallic. And it can't be magnetism, because magnetite, the only magnetic mineral, is not really metallic.

In which are the ionic solids ranked in order of increasing melting point?

abruzzese [7]

Answer:A

Explanation:

The melting points of solids depend in the relative sizes of ions in the ionic lattice. The smaller the relative sizes of the ions, the higher the lattice energy and the stronger the lattice hence higher melting point. Comparing relative ionic sizes, fluoride ion is lesser in size than chloride ion hence NaF has a higher melting point than NaCl.

If 842 grams of sodium hydroxide reacts with 750.0 grams of aluminum, how many grams of aluminum hydroxide should theoretically

Phantasy [73]

548.55 grams of aluminum hydroxide should theoretically form.

Explanation:

Balanced equation for the reaction:

3 NaOH + Al ⇒ Al(OH)3 +3 Na

DATA GIVEN:

mass of NaOH = 842 grams, atomic mass =39.9 grams/mole

mass of Al = 750 grams, atomic mass = 26.9 grams/mole

aluminum hydroxide theoretical yield = ?

Moles of NaOH reacted

number of moles = $\frac{mass}{atomic mass of 1 mole}$

putting the values in the equation

NaOH = $\frac{842}{39.9}$

= 21.1 MOLES OF NaOH

Al = $\frac{750}{26.9}$

= 27.8 moles

from the equation

from 3 moles of NaOH 1 mole of Al(OH)3 is produced

21.1 moles of NaOH will react to give x moles of Al(OH)3

$\frac{1}{3}$ = $\frac{x}{21.1}$

7.03 moles of Al(OH)3 is formed.

and

1 mole of Al(OH)3 is formed from 1 mole of Al in the reaction

so, 27.8 Moles will react to give give 27.8 moles of Al(OH)3 limiting reagent of the given reaction is NaOH

mass of Al(OH)3 =7.03 x 78 (atomic mass of Al(OH)3)

= 548.55 grams

theoretical yield from the given data is 548.55 grams

g Given that 50.0 mL of 0.100 M magnesium bromide reacts with 13.9 mL of silver nitrate solution according to the unbalanced equ

ipn [44]

Answer:

0.719M AgNO₃

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

MgBr₂ + 2AgNO₃ ⇄ 2AgBr + Mg(NO₃)₂

<em>1 mole of magnesium bromide reacts completely with 2 moles of AgNO₃</em>

<em />

To find molarity of AgNO₃ solution we need to determine moles of AgNO₃ and, as molarity is the ratio of moles over liter (13.9mL = 0.0139L). Now, to determine moles of AgNO₃ we need to use the reaction, thus:

<em>Moles AgNO₃:</em>

<em />

Moles of MgBr₂ are:

50.0mL = 0.050L * (0.100mol / L) = 0.00500 moles of MgBr₂.

As the silver nitrate reacts completely and 2 moles of AgNO₃ reacts per mole of MgBr₂:

0.00500 moles MgBr₂ * (2 moles AgNO₃ / 1 mole MgBr₂) =

0.0100 moles of AgNO₃ are in the solution.

And molarity is:

0.0100 moles AgNO₃ / 0.0139L =
