Why do we consider diamonds a kind of metamorphic rock?

1 answer:

6 0

This is because the minerals that make up the rocks form only at certain temperatures and pressures. At high temperatures or pressures, the elements will rearrange their crystal structure to form a different mineral. Graphite and diamond are two minerals that are both made entirely out of carbon.

How much heat energy is required to raise the temperature of 0.358 kg of copper from 23.0 ∘C to 60.0 ∘C? The specific heat of co

NNADVOKAT [17]

In order to calculate how much heat is needed to raise the temperature you need to use the formula q =mass x specific heat x (final temperature- initial temperature) where q represents heat being absorbed or released. Before you begin you would convert kg to g because the specific heat is measure in g. So you would set up the equation as q = 358 g x .092 x (60-23 degrees Celsius) which would give you 1218.6

The area of a telescope lens is 7903 rnrn2 {a) What is the area in square feet (ft2)? (b) If it takes a technician 45 s to polis

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

Area is 0.08504 $ft^{2}$ and $2.6\times 10^{3}s$ are needed for polishing

Explanation:

(a) ft is unit of F.P.S system whether mm is unit of M.K.S system.

According to unit conversion, $1mm=0.00328ft$

So, $1mm^{2}=(0.00328)^{2}ft^{2}=1.076\times 10^{-5}ft^{2}$

hence, $7903mm^{2}=7903\times 1.076\times 10^{-5}ft^{2}=0.08504ft^{2}$

So, area of telescope lens is 0.08504 $ft^{2}$

(b) $135mm^{2}$ are polished in 45s

So, $7903mm^{2}$ are polished in $\frac{45\times 7903}{135}s$ or $2.6\times 10^{3}s$

Three test tubes contain white crystalline organic solids A, B, and C, each of which melts at 149-150 degrees C. A 50-50 mixture

Digiron [165]

Answer:

The mixture of B and C will melt as 130 - 139 ºC.

Explanation:

If the melting point (130 - 139 ºC) of a mixture of A and B is lower than the pure substances that is 149 - 150 ºC that means that one of these susbtances is an impurity because reduces the melting point.

If the melting point of the mixture of A and C is the same as the pure substances, we can deduce that they are the same substances, also because the melting point when a substance is pure is just 1 or 2 ºC like in this case.

So in a Mixture of B and C is going to be like the first case of the mixture among A and B, because the B substance is the impurity.
