Imagine you are handed a mineral sample. It breaks with a conchoidal fracture, but displays no cleavage. It does not react with

hydrochloric acid, is a light pink color, and has a nonmetallic luster. It is harder than a streak plate, and has a specific gravity of 2.65. What mineral is it?

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.

When 0.1M HCl is added to the following system at equilibrium: AgCl(s) Ag+ (aq)+ Cl– (aq) the point of equilibrium will shift to
hichkok12 [17]
Le Chatelier's Principle says that when something disrupts the equilibrium, the system adjusts to minimize the effect of that disturbance. If 0.1 M HCl solution is added, this dissociates into H+ and Cl- ions, so there will be more Cl- ions in the system. This causes the reaction to go in the reverse direction (equilibrium shifts to the left) to reduce the amount of Cl-.
Since this also consumes Ag+ ions, the concentration of Ag+ (aq) will decrease.
The answer is the second choice.

The O2 molecule breaks apart at lower wavelengths than the O3 molecule. What is the main reason for this?
kozerog [31]

The main reason for this is Average bond of O₂ is shorter and strong from O₃.

<h3>What is ozone?</h3>

Ozone is a blue gas composed of three oxygen atoms bonded together.

It occurs naturally high up in the Earth's atmosphere, where it protects the surface from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays,

UV radiation will dissociate ozone into an oxygen atom and an oxygen molecule.

Ozone molecules are tetrahedral so the bond angle is  109 degree the electrons in the double bond occupy more space that the non-bonding electron pair.

Oxygen has a small size that leads to smaller O-O bond length.

A lone pair of electrons on both the oxygen repel each other leading to weakening of O-O bond.

O3 has longer and weaker bonds than O2, whereas SO2 has shorter and stronger bonds than SO.

Molecular oxygen, O2, is photolyzed by light of 241 nm and has a bond energy of 498 kJ/mol.

The main reason for this is Average bond of O₂ is shorter and strong from O₃.

Assuming that the only lons contributing to the salt content in the Dead sea is Nat
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

3.37kg of NaCl is the salt content of the dead sea

Explanation:

A concentration of 33.7% means there are 33.7g of NaCl in 100mL of solution.

To solve this question we need to convert 10.0L to mililiters, and then, solve for the mass of NaCl in grams and convert it to kg:

<em>Volume in milliliters:</em>

10.0L * (1000mL / 1L) = 10000mL

<em>Mass of NaCl:</em>

10000mL * (33.7g NaCl / 100mL) = 3370g NaCl

<em>In kg:</em>

3370g * (1kg / 1000g) =

<h3>3.37kg of NaCl is the salt content of the dead sea</h3>
