Answer:

hi!

Explanation:

The Mohs Hardness Scale ranks the order of hardness of minerals and some common objects. For example, your fingernail can scratch the minerals talc and gypsum, with a hardness of 2 or lower. A copper penny can scratch calcite, gypsum, and talc.

One of the most important tests for identifying mineral specimens is the Mohs Hardness Test.  

This test compares the resistance of a mineral to being scratched by ten reference minerals known as the Mohs Hardness Scale (see table at left).  

The test is useful because most specimens of a given mineral are very close to the same hardness. This makes hardness a reliable diagnostic property for most minerals.

"Hardness" is the resistance of a material to being scratched. The test is conducted by placing a sharp point of one specimen on an unmarked surface of another specimen and attempting to produce a scratch.

In 1901, Thomas Edison invented the nickel-iron battery. The following reaction takes place in the battery. Fe(s) + 2 NiO(OH)(s)
lord [1]

Ans: Moles of Fe(OH)2 produced is 5.35 moles.


Given reaction:

Fe(s) + 2NiO(OH) (s) + 2H2O(l) → Fe(OH)2(s) + 2Ni(OH)2(aq)

Based on the reaction stoichiometry:

1 mole of Fe reacts with 2 moles of NiO(OH) to produce 1 mole of Fe(OH)2

It is given that there are:

5.35 moles of Fe

7.65 moles of NiO(OH)

Here the limiting reagent is Fe

Therefore, number of moles of Fe(OH)2 produced is 5.35 moles.

Which solution has a molality of 0.25m nacl?
Radda [10]
A 0.25m solution of NaCl is defined as a solution consisting of 0.25mol NaCl dissolved in 1kg water:
Which choice fits this definition: None does. I suggest that you recheck the data you have submitted - you have a mixture of moles, mass, etc and it is easy to make a mistake.
d) looks promising if it was: 1.0 mol NaCl dissolved in 4kg water.
I have overlooked C) as possible 0.25mol NaCl in 1kg water as being a little too obvious.

What is the molar mass of BaBr2? A. 217.2 g/mol B. 297.1 g/mol C. 354.5 g/mol D. 434.4 g/mol
qaws [65]

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Molar mass is defined as the sum of masses of all the atoms present in a compound.

For example, atomic mass of barium is 137.32 g/mol and atomic mass of bromine is 79.90 g/mol.

Therefore, molar mass of BaBr_{2} will be as follows.

                 Molar mass = atomic mass of Ba + 2 \times atomic mass of Br

                                      = 137.32 g/mol + 2 \times 79.90 g/mol

                                      = 297.12 g/mol

Hence, we can conclude that molar mass of [tex]BaBr_{2}[tex] is 297.12 g/mol.
