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.

What is the difference between the atomic number and the mass number of an element?

DedPeter [7]

Mass number is the number of protons and neutrons in an atom, and it tells us about the mass of the atom in amu, or atomic mass units. Atomic mass is the average mass of all the isotopes of a certain type. It is a weighted average that takes into account the abundances of all of the different isotopes

hope this helps :)

If you weighed out 0.38 g of calcium and reacted it with an excess of hcl, how many moles of h2(g) would you expect to produce?

Hitman42 [59]

Answer is: 0,0095 mol of hydrogen gas will be produced in reaction.
Chemical reaction: Ca + 2HCl → CaCl₂ + H₂.
m(Ca) = 0,38 g.
n(H₂) = ?
n(Ca) = m(Ca) ÷ M(Ca).
n(Ca) = 0,38 g ÷ 40 g/mol
n(Ca) = 0,0095 mol.
from reaction: n(Ca) : n(H₂) = 1 : 1.
n(H₂) = n(Ca) = 0,0095 mol.
n - amount of substance.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

[RxN - Balanced] 2Al₂O₃ → 4Al + 3O₂

[Given] 20 mol Al₂O₃

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

[RxN] 2 mol Al₂O₃ → 4 mol Al

<u>Step 3: Stoich</u>

[DA] Set up: $\displaystyle 20 \ mol \ Al_2O_3(\frac{4 \ mol \ Al}{2 \ mol \ Al_2O_3})$
[DA] Multiply/Divide [Cancel out units]: $\displaystyle 40 \ mol \ Al$

<u>Step 4:Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 1 sig fig.</em>

Since our final answer already has 1 sig fig, there is no need to round.

Butter melt when you heat it in a pan on the stove. Is this a chemical change or physical change? How can you tell?

choli [55]

It would be an physical change ; if you melt butter the butter goes from a solid to a liquid so therefore the physical state is changed.
