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.

During a change of state, the temperature of a substance _____.
Natali5045456 [20]
Hello,

Your questions states:

During a change of state, the temperature of a substance _____?

In which you gave us some choices:

A. decreases if the arrangement of particles in the substance changes.
B. remains constant until the change of state is complete.
C. increases if the kinetic energy of the particles in the substance increases.
D. increases during melting and vaporization and decreases during freezing and condensation.

Your answer would be:

B. remains constant until the change of state is complete.

Your explanation/Reasoning:

It absorbs the energy, then after the phase changes it then increases the temperature all over again.

Have a nice day:)

Hope this helps!

Calculate the energy (in kJ) required to heat 10.1 g of liquid water from 55 oC to 100 oC and change it to steam at 100 oC. The
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

           \large\boxed{\large\boxed{24.6kJ}}

Explanation:

<u>1. Energy to heat the liquid water from 55ºC to 100ºC</u>

     Q=m\times C\times \Delta T

  • m = 10.1g
  • C = 4.18g/JºC
  • ΔT = 100ºC - 55ºC = 45ºC

     Q=10.1g\times 4.18J/g\ºC\times 45\ºC=1,899.81J

<u>2. Energy to change the liquid to steam at 100ºC</u>

      L=\lambda \times n

  • λ = 40.6kJ/mol
  • n = 10.1g / 18.015g/mol = 0.5606mol

      L=40.6kJ/mol\times 0.5604mol=22.76214kJ=22,762.14J

<u>3. Total energy</u>

       1,899.81J+22,762.14J=24,661.95J\approx24,662J\approx24.6kJ
