How are small and big minerals created

Chemistry
1 answer:
user100 [1]2 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.

What is the number of copper atom in one naira coin which weight is 7.3g a sum of the material is 86%
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

5.9x10²² atoms of Cu are in one naira coin

Explanation:

To solve this question we need to find the mass of Copper. Then, using its molar mass (Cu = 63.546g/mol) we must find the moles of Cu and its atoms using Avogadro's number:

<em>Mass Cu:</em>

7.3g * 86% = 6.278g is the mass of Cu.

<em>Moles Cu:</em>

6.278g * (1mol / 63.546g) = 0.099moles Cu

<em>Atoms Cu:</em>

0.099moles Cu * (6.022x10²³atoms / 1mol) =

<h3>5.9x10²² atoms of Cu are in one naira coin</h3>

1. If I have 45 L of He in a balloon at 25 degrees celsius and increase the temperature of the
Greeley [361]

Use Charles' Law: V1/T1 = V2/T2. We assume the pressure and mass of the helium is constant. The units for temperature must be in Kelvin to use this equation (x °C = x + 273.15 K).

We want to solve for the new volume after the temperature is increased from 25 °C (298.15 K) to 55 °C (328.15 K). Since the volume and temperature of a gas at a constant pressure are directly proportional to each other, we should expect the new volume of the balloon to be greater than the initial 45 L.

Rearranging Charles' Law to solve for V2, we get V2 = V1T2/T1.  

(45 L)(328.15 K)/(298.15 K) = 49.5 ≈ 50 L (if we're considering sig figs).
