Answer: Apatite

Explanation: According to the Mohr's hardness scale, fluorite has a hardness of 4, whereas amphibole (which belongs to the hornblende field) has a hardness of about 5-6. And the hardness of apatite is 5.

So by comparing their hardness, we can determine that Apatite can easily scratch the mineral fluorite because it has higher hardness than fluorite, but apatite will not be able to scratch amphibole because apatite has a lower hardness compared to amphibole.

Which is the correct net ionic equation for the reaction of aqueous ammonia with nitric acid? Which is the correct net ionic equ
rewona [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is

e. NH3(aq) + H+(aq) --> NH4+(aq)

Explanation:

To solve this, we write out the indidual ionization reation for aqueous ammonia and nitric acid thus

For aqueous ammonia we have

NH₃(aq) + H₂O(l) ↔ NH₄⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

Aqueous ammonia is a weak base and therefore undergoes partial ionization hence the reversible reaction sign

As the level of ionization will not be more than 5% OH⁻ cannot represebt the weak base

For nitric acid we have

HNO₃(aq) → H⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq)

a strong acid like nitric acid undergoes conplete ionization in the solution

The total equation is NH₃(aq) + HNO₃(aq) → NH₄NO₃(aq)

The sum of the ionic equation is

NH₃(aq) + H⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq) → NH₄⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq)

The ionic equation is

NH₃(aq) + H⁺(aq) →  NH₄⁺(aq)
