Answer:

The correct answer is :'Topaz scratches quartz'.

Explanation:

Mohs scale is a qualitative scale to analyse and characterize scratch resistance of minerals.Harder mineral will easily scratch softer mineral.

Lower value on the scale indicates that mineral can be easily scratched by the another mineral with higher scale value. In other words calcite with scale value of 3 can easily scratch gypsum  and talc with scale value of 2 and 1 respectively.

So, from the given options the correct test is that topaz scratches quartz.

Consider the following generic chemical equation: A + B → C + D Reactant A contains 85.1 J of chemical energy. Reactant B contai
irakobra [83]

Answer:

Product D contains 30 J

Explanation:

We know energy does not destroy or create, it only transforms. So, at the right side of the equation we have the energy of the reactant A and the energy of the reactant B, as a sum, and, as a result we have to get the same energy plus the energy absorbed by the reaction.

So, we have,

Ea+Eb = Eabsorbed+Ec+Ed

Ed = Ea+Eb-Eabsorbed-Ec

Ed = 85.1 J + 87.9 J - 104.3 J - 38.7 J

Ed = 30 J

Drag each label to the correct location on the table.
AleksAgata [21]

Explanation:

1) Boyle's Law: This law states that pressure is inversely related to the volume occupied by the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

P\propto \frac{1}{V}     (At constant temperature and number of moles)

  • When the size of the chamber is increased the volume occupied the gas will increase with which pressure exerted by the gas will decrease down.
  • When we press the inflated balloon the pressure on the gas is increased with which volume of the occupied by the gas inside the balloon decreased.

2) Charles' Law: This law states that volume occupied by the gas is directly related to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure and number of moles.

V\propto T    (At constant pressure and number of moles)

  • The size of the balloon deceases because the in winters the temperature decreases with which volume of the gas present in the balloon also decreases.
  • When the flexible closed container is heated the temperature of the gas inside the container increases with which the volume occupied by the gas in the container will increase resulting in expanding of container.

3) Avogadro's Law: This law states that volume occupied by the gas is directly related to the number of moles of the gas at constant pressure and temperature.

V\propto n   (At constant temperature and pressure)

When we blow air into the balloon the umber of air particles increases with which the volume of the gas inside the balloon also increases resulting in increase in size of the balloon.
