Answers with Explanations:

1. Why is knowledge of mineral properties important?

Knowledge of mineral properties is important because it <u>helps scientists know about the earth's history, particularly when it comes to "rock formations."</u> It is also essential in order to know which minerals are economically important.

2. Which properties might be useful in construction?

Minerals have many physical properties (<em>color, crystal form, hardness, luster, density, cleavage and fracture, etc.) </em>

When it comes to construction purpose, the mineral's malleability is very important. This is the reason why "iron" is one of the most important minerals being used in buildings. It's <em>malleability</em> allows it to be framed into "steel," which is then used to make even bigger infrastructures and skyscrapers.

3. In jewelry-making?

When it comes to "jewelry-making," the <em>hardness </em>and <em>luster</em> of the mineral may be used as a basis. For example, the diamond can be determined from the rest of the minerals because it is the hardest and it has a brilliant-kind of luster.

Write an equation for the hydrogenation of glyceryl trilinolenate, a fat formed from glycerol and three linolenic acid molecules
Tomtit [17]

Balanced chemical equation for the hydrogenation of glyceryl trilinolenate:

C₅₇H₉₂O₆ + 9H₂ → C₅₇H₁₁₀O₆.

Linolenic acid (octadecatrienoic acids ) is a type of fatty acid. It has 18 carbon atoms chain and three double bonds. So trilinolenate has nine double bonds.

Trilinolenate is the form of triglyceride esters of linolenic acid.

Hydrogenation is addition of hydrogen atoms at both sides of a double bond.

Given the problem below, what would the first step be in solving it?
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

First step would be convert to moles

Final Answer: 37.8 g of NaCl

Explanation:

The reaction is:

2Na + Cl₂ → 2NaCI

We convert the mass of each reactant to moles:

18 g . 1mol /23g = 0.783 moles of Na

23g . 1mol / 70.9g = 0.324 moles of chlorine

We use the mole ratio to determine the limiting reactant:

Ratio is 2:1. 2 moles of Na react to 1 mol of chlorine

Then, 0.783 moles of Na, may react to (0.783 . 1)/2 = 0.391 moles.

Excellent!. We need 0.391 moles of Cl₂ and we only have 0.324 moles available. That's why the Cl₂ is our limiting reactant.

We use the mole ratio again, with the product side. (1:2)

1 mol of Cl₂ can produce 2 moles of NaCl

Then, our 0.324 moles of gas, may produce (0.324 . 2)/1 = 0.648 moles

Finally, we convert the moles to grams:

0.648 mol . 58.45g/mol =

How much heat do you need to raise the temperature of 150 g of ice from -30°C to -15°c?
OLga [1]
To solve this question, you must use the formula: q=mc(change in temperature), where q is heat, m is mass, C is specific heat and temperature change is temperature change. The specific heat for ice is 2.1kJ/Kg x K (given). The change in temperature is 15 degrees Celsius (which you should change to kelvins so you can cancel out units), or 273 + 15 = 288K. The mass is 150 grams, which is 0.15 kg. Now, we can solve for q, heat. We will do this by substituting variables into the formula. After simplifying and cancelling out units, the answer we get is: 90.72kJ.
