What element are diamonds composed of

2 answers:

6 0

Diamonds are composed almost entirely of the element carbon maybe sometimes with impurities in them, such as nitrogen (i.e., pure diamonds are entirely carbon). The element carbon comes in three different natural forms, or allotropes: diamond, graphite, and amorphous. :p

Answer:

diamonds are carbon based and have a giant covalent structure

Explanation:

This is what gives diamonds its strength and rigidity.

Diamonds are different from graphite due to the way the atoms are arranged

A chemist has some 40% acid solution, some 60% acid solution, and a wholebunch of free time. How many liters of each should be u

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

30 Liters of 40% acid solution and 10 L of 60% acid solution is needed.

Explanation:

Let volume of the 40% acid solution be x.

Let volume of the 60% acid solution be y.

Volume of solution formed after mixing both solution = 40 L

x + y = 40 L..[1]

Volume of acid 40% solution = 40% of x= 0.4x

Volume of acid 60% solution = 60% of y= 0.6y

Volume of acid formed = 45% of 40 L = $\frac{45}{100}\times 40=18L$

$0.4x+0.6y=18 L$ ..[2]

Solving [1] and [2]

x = 30 L , y = 10 L

30 Liters of 40% acid solution and 10 L of 60% acid solution is needed.

In the following overall chemical reaction, aluminum displaces chromium from chromium(III) oxide and forms aluminum oxide.

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Change in enthalpy for the reaction is -536 kJ

Explanation:

Overall chemical reaction can be represented a summation of two given elementary steps with slight modification.
Take reaction (1a) and divide stoichiometric coefficients by 2
Take reverse reaction (2a) and divide stoichiometric coefficient by 2
Then add these two modified elementary steps to get overall chemical reaction
$\Delta H$ is an additive property. hence value of $\Delta H$ will be changed in accordance with modification

$2Al+\frac{3}{2}O_{2}\rightarrow Al_{2}O_{3}.....\Delta H_{1}=\frac{-3351.4}{2}kJ=-1675.7kJ$

$Cr_{2}O_{3}\rightarrow 2Cr+\frac{3}{2}O_{2}....\Delta H_{2}=\frac{2279.4}{2}kJ=1139.7kJ$

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$2Al+Cr_{2}O_{3}\rightarrow 2Cr+Al_{2}O_{3}....\Delta H=\Delta H_{1}+\Delta H_{2}=-1675.7+1139.7kJ=-536kJ$

The heat will flow from Cu to Fe because Cu has higher temperature and has lower peak value .

Given ,

two aircraft rivets , one iron and the other copper , are placed in a calorimeter .

the initial temp of the calorimeter is 20 degC .

mass of iron = 30 g

initial temp of iron = 0 degC

Mass of copper = 20 g

initial temp of copper = 100 degC

Here copper has higher temp ,thus heat flow from Cu to Fe .

Heat flow is the movement of heat from higher temperature to lower temperature .

<h3>What is calorimeter ?</h3>

It is an object used for measuring the heat flow , heat capacity of a chemical reaction as well as the physical changes .
