3 0

B:Oxygen and silicon

Explanation:

Most minerals on the earth's surface contains oxygen and silicon. Silicon and oxygen are the most abundant elements we find in the rock minerals on the earth surface.

  • Silicon and oxygen forms the SiO₄⁻ tetrahedron through which several minerals are formed.
  • These minerals built on the network of the tetrahedron are referred to as silicates.
  • Several silicate minerals are known:
  1. Quartz
  2. Feldspars
  3. Olivine
  4. Biotite
  5. Pyroxene

Why is it harder to remove an electron from fluorine than from carbon, or, to put it another way, why are the valence electrons
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

5. The valence electrons of both fluorine and carbon are found at about the same distance from their respective nuclei but the greater positive charge of the fluorine nucleus attracts its valence electrons more strongly.

Explanation:

Both fluorine and carbon are located in the second period of the periodic table, it means that they have 2 shells, so the valence electrons are found at about the same distance from their respective nuclei.

But fluorine has a higher atomic number, 9, than the carbon, 6. The atomic number represents how many protons there are in the nucleus, then there are more protons (positive charge) at the fluorine nucleus, and because of that, the attraction force between the nucleus and the valence electron is stronger in fluorine.

If the force is stronger, it will be necessary more energy to break the bond, so it will be harder to remove an electron from fluorine than from carbon.

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer: acid; acidic

Explanation:

You have a glass of pure water and add acidic lemon juice to it. This means that you are adding ACID to it, and the solution will become ACIDIC.

Pure water has a pH value of 7

Lemon juice has a pH value less than 7 i.e acidic

Therefore, addition of lemon juice to pure water will drop the latter pH from 7 to form a final solution that is ACIDIC.

Question 12 (5 points) During an experiment a student traps 0.1941 g of an unknown gas in a 175.6 mL container at 298.1 K and a
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

V₂ = 155.2 mL

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume =175.6 mL

Initial pressure =0.9648 atm

Initial temperature = 298.1 K

Final temperature = 273 K

Final volume =?

Final pressure = 1 atm

Formula:  

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂  

P₁ = Initial pressure

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁ = Initial temperature

P₂ = Final pressure

V₂ = Final volume

T₂ = Final temperature

Solution:

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂  

V₂ = P₁V₁T₂  /T₁P₂

V₂ = 0.9648 atm × 175.6 mL × 273 k / 298.1 K× 1 atm

V₂ = 46251.4 atm. k. mL/ 298.1 K× 1 atm

V₂ = 155.2 mL
