Topaz and quartz

Explanation:

Topaz and quartz are minerals that will scratch feldspars but will not scratch corundum. Corundum is one of the hardest substance based on moh's scale.

The hardness of a mineral is its resistance to deformation. A mineral is harder than another if it can scratch it.

The moh's scale of hardness list minerals in the order of their hardness:

  1.             Talc
  2.             Gypsum
  3.             Calcite
  4.             Fluorite
  5.              Apatite
  6.              Orthoclase
  7.              Quartz
  8.              Topaz
  9.               Corundum
  10.               Diamond

Diamond is the hardest and talc is the softest.

Orthoclase is a feldspar.

The radioactive isotope 210/84 Po decays by alpha emission.
yan [13]

The half-life of polonium-210, given that it decays from 98.3 micrograms to 12.3 micrograms in 414 days is 138 days

<h3>How to determine the number of half-lives </h3>
  • Original amount (N₀) = 98.3 micrograms
  • Amount remaining (N) = 12.3 micrograms
  • Number of half-lives (n) =?

2ⁿ = N₀ / N

2ⁿ = 98.3 / 12.3

2ⁿ = 8

2ⁿ = 2³

n = 3

<h3>How to determine the half life </h3>
  • Number of half-lives (n) = 3
  • Time (t) = 414 days
  • Half-life (t½) = ?

t½ = t / n

t½ = 414 / 3

t½ = 138 days

Answer:

4x^3

Explanation:

Solubility product constant is usually written as (Ksp). It is defined for equilibrium between a solids and its respective ions in a solution. Its value indicates the degree to which a compound dissociates into ions in water. The higher the solubility product constant, the more soluble the compound.

Solubility of a solute is defined as the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in a solvent at equilibrium while the solubility product constant (Ksp) describes the equilibrium between a solid and its constituent ions in a solution.

For AB2(s)< -------> A(aq) + 2B(aq). But solubility of AB2= x

Ksp= x × (2x)^2

Ksp= 4x^3
