Minerals are very useful to us. Which of the following is a false statement? Question options: Pyrite is an ore of gold and is u

Andrew [12]

Answer:

Option C= Cobalt is not used in medicine

This statement is incorrect.

Explanation:

Pyrite is an ore of gold and is used in jewelry making (correct statement)

Pyrite:

1. pyrite is yellow brass mineral.

2. its chemical composition is FeS2.

3. it is also called ore of gold

4. it is used in jewelry.

Talc:

Talc is used in paper making, plastics, and paint (correct statement)

1. it is phyllosilicate mineral in the form of sheets.

2. its chemical formula is Mg3Si4O10 (OH)2.

3. it is very important constituent of roofing material.

4. it is used in many industries like paper making, paints, electrical cables, food etc.

Quartz:

Quartz is used to make glass (correct statement)

1. its chemical formula is SiO2.

2. its large amount is used in manufacturing of ceramic and glass.

3. The second most abundant mineral found in the earth crust is also quartz.

Cobalt:

Cobalt is not used in medicine (incorrect statement)

1. Cobalt is widely used in medical field.

2. it is used in the detection of metastasis and tumor.

3. it is used in the replacement of knee and hip as a prosthetic alloys.

Minerals are very important in our daily life. They are widely used in construction material for example in the construction of buildings and roads and also in medical field.

Examples:

1. Copper is used in the electronic and electrical field.

2. Zinc is used in rust resistant metals, skin care creams. rubber paints etc.

What are the SI units for specific heat capacity

KATRIN_1 [288]

The SI unit for specific heat capacity is the joule per kilogram Kelvin, J?kg-1?K-1 or J/(kg?K), which is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of the substance by one Kelvin

The molarity of a sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution is 0.2 M. The molar mass of NaOH is 40 g/mol. If the solution contains 20 g o

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{2.5 L}}$

Explanation:

1. Calculate the moles of NaOH.

$\text{Moles} = \text{20 g} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol}}{\text{40 g}} = \text{0.50 mol}$

2. Calculate the volume of NaOH

$\begin{array}{rcl}\\\text{Molar concentration} &= &\dfrac{\text{moles}}{\text{litres}}\\\\ n &= &\dfrac{c}{V}\\\\\dfrac{\text{0.2 mol}}{\text{1 L}} &=& \dfrac{\text{0.50 mol}}{V}\\\\ \dfrac{0.2V}{\text{1 L}} & = & 0.50\\\\0.2V &= & \text{0.50 L}\\V & = & \dfrac{\text{0.50 L}}{0.2}\\\\& = & \textbf{2.5 L}\\\end{array}\\\text{The volume of the solution is $\large \boxed{\textbf{2.5 L}}$}$

What happens to the rate of dissolution as the temperature is increased in a gas solution?

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

The rate decreases

Explanation:

When we dissolve a gas in a water, the process is exothermic. This implies that heat is evolved upon dissolution of a gas in water.

Recall from Le Chateliers principle that for exothermic reactions, an increase in temperature favours the reverse reaction. The implication of these is that when the temperature of the gas is increased, less gas will dissolve in water.

Hence increase in temperature decreases the rate of solubility of a gas in water.
