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

The reaction of sodium peroxide and water produces sodium hydroxide and oxygen gas. The following balanced chemical equation rep

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

3.925 mol.

Explanation:

From the balanced equation:

2 Na₂O₂(s) + 2 H₂O(l) → 4 NaOH(s) + O₂(g) ,

It is clear that 2 moles of Na₂O₂ react with 2 moles of H₂O to produce 4 moles of NaOH and 1 mole of O₂ .

Using cross multiplication:

4 moles of NaOH produced with → 1 mole of O₂ .

15.7 moles of NaOH produced with → ??? mole of O₂ .

∴ The no. of moles of O₂ made = (1 mole)(15.7 mole)/(4 mole) = 3.925 mol.

If a sample containing 18.1 g of NH3 is reacted with 90.4 g of

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

3.64g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of NH₃ = 18.1g

Mass of Cu₂O = 90.4g

Unknown:

Limiting reactant = ?

Mass of N₂ formed = ?

Solution:

The reaction equation is given as:

Cu₂O + 2NH₃ → 6Cu + N₂ + 3H₂O

The limiting reactant is the one in short supply in the reaction. Let us find the number of moles of the given species;

Number of moles = $\frac{mass}{molar mass}$

Molar mass of Cu₂O = 2(63.6) + 16 = 143.2g/mol

Molar mass of NH₃ = 14 + 3(1) = 17g/mol

Number of moles of Cu₂O = $\frac{18.1}{143.2}$ = 0.13moles

Number of moles of NH₃ = $\frac{90.4}{17}$ = 5.32moles

From this reaction;

1 mole of Cu₂O combines with 2 mole of NH₃

So 0.13moles of Cu₂O will combine with 0.13 x 2 mole of NH₃

= 0.26moles of NH₃

Therefore, Cu₂O is the limiting reactant. Ammonia is in excess;

Mass of N₂;

Mass = number of moles x molar mass

1 mole of Cu₂O will produce 1 mole of N₂

0.13 mole of Cu₂O will produce 0.13 mole of N₂

Mass = 0.13 x (2 x 14) = 3.64g
