Let us assume that there is a 100g sample of Opal. The masses of each element will be:
29.2g Si
33.3g O
37.5g H2O
Now we divide each constituent's mass by its Mr to get the moles present
Si: (29.2 / 28) = 1.04
O: (33.3 / 16) = 2.08
H2O: (37.5 / 18) = 2.08
Now we divide by the smallest number and obtain:
Si: 1
O: 2
H2O: 2
Thus, the empirical formula of Opal is:
SiO2 . 2H2O

What is the molarity of a hydrochloric acid solution, when 30.0 mL is neutralized by 48.0 mL of 0.100 mol/L
bulgar [2K]

The molarity of a hydrochloric acid solution : 0.32 M

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

Titration is a procedure for determining the concentration of a solution by reacting with another solution which is known to be concentrated (usually a standard solution).

Titrations can be distinguished including acid-base titration, depositional titration, and redox titration. An acid-base titration is the principle of neutralization of acids and bases is used.  

Acid-base titration formula  

Ma. Va. na = Mb. Vb. nb  

Ma, Mb = acid base concentration  

Va, Vb = acid base volume  

na, nb = acid base valence  

1 ⇒HCl (valence=1, HCl ⇒H⁺+Cl⁻, one H⁺)

2⇒Ca(OH)₂(valence=2, Ca(OH)₂⇒Ca²⁺+2OH⁻, two OH⁻)

M₂=0.1 M

V₂=48 ml=0.048 L

V₁=30 ml=0.03 L

\tt M_1.V_1.n_1=M_2.V_2.n_2\\\\M_1\times 0.03\times 1=0.1\times 0.048\times 2\\\\M_1=0.32

Explain this method (Froth floatation method)..........​
Svetach [21]

Answer:

froth flotation is a technique commonly used in the mining industry. In this technique, particles of interest are physically separated from a liquid phase as a result of differences in the ability of air bubbles to selectively adhere to the surface of the particles, based upon their hydrophobicity.

Explanation:

Froth floatation method is commonly used to concentrate sulphide ore such as galena (PbS), zinc blende (ZnS) etc. (ii) In this method, the metaalic ore particles which are perferentially wetted by oil can be separated from gangue. (iii) In this method, the crushed ore is suspended in water and mixed with frothing agent such as pine oil, eucalyptus oil etc. (iv) A small quantity of sodium ethyl xanthate which act as a collector is also added. (v) A froth is generated by blowing air through this mixture. (vi) The collector molecules attach to the ore particles and make them water repellent. (vii) As a result, ore parrticles, wetted by the oil, rise to the surface along with the froth. (viii) The froth is skimmed off and dried to recover the concentration ore. (ix) The gangue particles that are preferentially wetted by water settle at the bottom.
