Hello!

If a mineral has definite chemical composition, it means that the occurrences in the mineral have a chemical composition, which varies within a specific limited range.

Hope this helps, have a wonderful day/night! :)

A mole of one element contains _______ number of atoms as a mole of another element.
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

A mole of one element contains Same number of atoms as a mole of another element.

The atomic mass of an element, that is found on the periodic table, may be used to determine the amount of moles in a system. Typically, this mass represents the average of the element's abundant forms found on earth. The mass of an element is given as the average of all of its earthly isotopes. The molar mass of a material is the weight of a mole of that substance. In chemistry, the molar mass is frequently used in converting grams of a chemical to moles. The periodic table lists an element's molar mass, which is its atomic weight in grams per mole (g/mol).

The average mass of an element's atoms expressed in atomic mass units is known as its atomic mass (amu, also known as daltons, D). The weight of the each isotope is combined by its abundance to get the atomic mass, which is a weighted average of all the isotopes of that element.

which atoms attains a stable valence electron configuration by bonding with another atom 1) neon 2) radon 3) helium 4) hyrdogen
Sergeu [11.5K]
Well, when an atom attains a stable valence electron, it means that the outer electrons are complete and so cannot attain any more electrons. For the first shell, it is complete when it has 2 electrons, the second shell is complete when it has 8 electrons, all the other shells also have a particular number when complete. Anyway, i believe the answer is HYDROGEN because when HYDROGEN combines with another atom of HYDROGEN, the outer shell is completed. This is because HYDROGEN has only 1 electron. If the two HYDROGENS, which both have 1 electron combine, they make the electrons 2, which is complete for the first shell, HYDROGEN ends in the first shell. Since the electrons become 2, the shell is at stable valence. In all the other options, this happens;
NEON- It has 10 electrons, 2 in the first shell and 8 in the second. So the the shells are already complete, so it can't bond with any thing, which is completely against the question.
RADON- Radon has 86 electrons.
HELIUM- Helium has 2 electrons, so the shell is already full, and cannot bond, so it goes against the question. The question says BY BONDING.
 So the answer is definitely 4) HYDROGEN
Hope i helped. Have a nice day, by the way, i'm very sure it's hydrogen.

Cryolite (Na3AlF6) is used in the production of aluminum from its ores. It is made by the reaction 6 NaOH 1 Al2O3 1 12 HF 8n 2 N
kap26 [50]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of cryolite produced in the reaction is 1181.8 g

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}      .....(1)

Given mass of aluminium oxide = 287 g

Molar mass of aluminium oxide = 102 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of aluminium oxide}=\frac{287g}{102g/mol}=2.814mol

The given chemical reaction follows:

6NaOH+Al_2O_3+12HF\rightarrow 2Na_3AlF_6+9H_2O

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of aluminium oxide produces 2 moles of cryolite

So, 2.814 moles of aluminium oxide will produce = \frac{2}{1}\times 2.814=5.628mol of cryolite

Now, calculating the mass of cryolite by using equation 1:

Moles of cryolite = 5.628 moles

Molar mass of cryolite = 210 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

5.628mol=\frac{\text{Mass of cryolite}}{210g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of cryolite}=(5.628mol\times 210g/mol)=1181.8g

Hence, the mass of cryolite produced in the reaction is 1181.8 g

The picture shows a balloon containing air.
hram777 [196]

Answer:

The air particles are sped up and they are more spaced apart.

Explanation:

This is because when things are heated up the particles speed up and flow more freely causing them to be space apart.
