Answer:

Quartz.

Explanation:

According to the characteristics given in the question the mineral must surely be Quartz.

Quartz does not react with hydrochloric acid.

Its is pink in color and has anon metallic luster. It has a specific gravity of 2.65. Quartz is continuous framework of SiO4 , with each oxygen being shared with two tetrahedra, giving an overall chemical formula of SiO2.

A substance registers a temperature change from 20 to 40 to what incremental temperature change does this correspond
ss7ja [257]

<u>Given:</u>

Initial temperature, T1 = 20 C

Final temperature, T2 = 40 C

<u>To determine:</u>

The temperature change

<u>Explanation:</u>

Convert degree C to Kelvin

Temperature in Kelvin = degree C + 273

T1 = 20 + 273 = 293 K

T2 = 40 + 273 = 313 K

Incremental temperature change = T2 - T1 = 313-293 = 20 K

Ans: The temperature change in kelvin is 20 K

Give the nuclear symbol for the isotope of silicon for which a=29? Enter the nuclear symbol for the isotope (e.G., 42he).
quester [9]

The mass number is the summation of number of proton and neutron present in a nucleus of an atom. For the neutral atom the number of positive charge (number of proton) must be equal to the number of electrons. The number of electrons present in an atom is the atomic number of the atom. The standard way to express the mass number (a) and atomic number (m) of a atom (say X) is x^{a}_{m}. Now for silicon number of electron or atomic number is 14. And the mass number (a) given 29. Thus the expression nucleus of silicon will be Si^{29}_{14}
