How are small and big minerals created

Chemistry
1 answer:
user100 [1]3 years ago
5 0
Large minerals are created from magma, when magma rises to the Earth's surface it cools slowly. As the magma cools, solid rocks form. Rocks are mixtures of minerals. Granite is a common rock that forms when magma cools. It contains the minerals quartz, plagioclase feldspar, and potassium feldspar. The different colored speckles in the granite are the crystals of the different minerals. The mineral crystals are large enough to see because the magma cools slowly, which gives the crystals time to grow.
Small minerals are created from lava, since lava is on the Earth's surface so it cools quickly compared to magma on Earth. Hence, rocks form quickly and mineral crystals are very small. Sometimes, lava cools so hastily that crystals cannot form at all, forming a black glass called obsidian. Because obsidian is not crystalline, it is not a mineral.
NOTE: Minerals (and gems) are crystals.

If the solubility of sodium chloride is 36 grams per 100 grams of water, which of the following solutions would be considered un
Murrr4er [49]

Answer: If the solubility of sodium chloride is 36 grams per 100 grams of water then 5.8 moles of NaCl dissolved in 1 L of water solution would be considered unsaturated.

Explanation:

A solution which contains the maximum amount of solute is called a saturated solution. Whereas a solution in which more amount of solute is able to dissolve is called an unsaturated solution.

Now, the number of moles present in 36 g of NaCl (molar mass = 58.4 g/mol) is as follows.

No. of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}\\= \frac{36 g}{58.4 g/mol}\\= 0.616 mol

This shows that solubility of sodium chloride is 36 grams per 100 grams of water means a maximum of 0.616 mol of NaCl will dissolve in 100 mL of water.

So, a solution in which number of moles of NaCl are less than 0.616 mol per 100 mL then the solution formed will be an unsaturated solution.

  • As 5.8 moles of NaCl dissolved in 1 L (or 1000 mL) of water. So, moles present in 100 mL are calculated as follows.

Moles = \frac{5.8 mol}{1000 mL} \times 100 mL\\= 0.58 mol

  • Moles present in 100 mL of water for 3.25 moles of NaCl dissolved in 500 ml in water are as follows.

Moles = \frac{3.25 mol}{500 mL} \times 100 mL\\0.65 mol

  • Moles present in 100 mL of water for 1.85 moles of NaCl dissolved in 300 ml of water are as follows.

Moles = \frac{1.85 mol}{300 mL} \times 100 mL\\= 0.616 mol

Thus, we can conclude that if the solubility of sodium chloride is 36 grams per 100 grams of water then 5.8 moles of NaCl dissolved in 1 L of water solution would be considered unsaturated.
