Answer:

a. In a mineral the constituent atoms are bonded in a regular, repetitive, internal structure; a rock is a lithified or consolidated aggregate of different mineral grains.

Explanation:

In the internal structure of a mineral the atoms are arranged in an orderly manner, forming shapes that are repeated throughout the structure.

Rocks are a mixture of other materials consolidated in one, which include minerals.

So the minerals have a defined internal structure with atoms in a regular and repeated configuration, while a rock, being a consolidated aggregate, combination of other materials including minerals, does not have a structure that defined

Which of these statements describes this mathematical equation?

salantis [7]

Answer:

The final pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to the volume change and directly proportional to temperature

Explanation:

Given

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1} = k$

Required

Interpret

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1} = k$

Multiply both sides by T1

$T_1 * \frac{P_1V_1}{T_1} = k * T_1$

$P_1V_1 = kT_1$

Divide both sides by V1

$\frac{P_1V_1}{V_1} = \frac{kT_1}{V_1}$

$P_1 = \frac{kT_1}{V_1}$

This can be rewritten as:

$P_1 = k\frac{T_1}{V_1}$

In the above expression; k is a constant of proportionality.

So, the equation can be written as variation as follows:

$P_1\ \alpha\ \ \frac{T_1}{V_1}$

To interpret:

<em>P varies directly to T (the numerator) and inversely to V (the denominator).</em>

What is the thermal energy needed to completely melt 9.60 mol of ice at 0.0 C

inysia [295]

The thermal energy needed to completely melt 9.60 mole of ice at 0.0 C is 57.8 Kj

Explanation
ice melt to form water

The molar heat of fusion for water is 6.02 Kj/mol
Thermal energy = moles x molar heat of fussion for water

=9.6 mol x6.02 kj/mol =57.8 Kj
