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.

Which of the following statements explain why the van der Waals equation must be used to describe real gases? X. interactions be

8090 [49]

Answer:

Statements Y and Z.

Explanation:

The Van der Waals equation is the next one:

$nRT = (P + \frac{an^{2}}{V^{2}})(V -nb)$ (1)

The ideal gas law is the following:

$nRT = PV$ (2)

<em>where n: is the moles of the gas, R: is the gas constant, T: is the temperature, P: is the measured pressure, V: is the volume of the container, and a and b: are measured constants for a specific gas. </em>

As we can see from equation (1), the Van der Waals equation introduces two terms that correct the P and the V of the ideal gas equation (2),<u> by the incorporation of the intermolecular interaction between the gases and the gases volume</u>. The term an²/V² corrects the P of the ideal gas equation since the measured pressure is decreased by the attraction forces between the gases. The term nb corrects the V of the ideal gas equation, <u>taking into account the volume occuppied by the gas in the total volume, which implies</u> a reduction of the total space available for the gas molecules.

So, the correct statements are the Y and Z: the non-zero volumes of the gas particles effectively decrease the amount of "empty space" between them and the molecular attractions between gas particles decrease the pressure exerted by the gas.

Have a nice day!

Which parameter is indicative of how far and in what direction a reaction will progress?

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

Option b, The change in free energy of the reaction (ΔG)

Explanation:

Gibbs free energy is a measure of amount of usable energy in the system.

It is related with enthalpy (H), entropy (S) and temprature (T) as:

G = H - TS

The Gibbs free energy change (ΔG) provide spontaneity of a chemical reaction.

If ΔG is negative, then reaction is spontaneous that means reaction is moving towards forward direction.

If ΔG is positive, then reaction is non-spontaneous that means reaction is moving in backward direction.

If ΔG is zero, then reaction is at equilibrium.

Change in enthalpy only gives informtion about heat involed in a chemical reaction, it does not give information about direction of the reaction.

So, among the given options, option b is correct.

<h2>Hey There!</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Answer:</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Question no 1:</h2><h3>CATION:</h3>

Cation is the postively charged unit which is formed by the transfer of one or more electrons. It is attracted towards cathode thus it is called the CATION.

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Question no 2:</h2><h3>IONIC BOND:</h3>

Ionic bond is the type of bond which is formed between the positive and negative ions. It is mostly formed between the Metals (i.e. group 1 and 2) and Non metals (i.e. mostly group 7). The positive charge on metal is due to the loosing of electron and negative charge on non metal is due to accepting the electron.

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Question no 3:</h2><h3>POLYATOMIC ION:</h3>

A molecular ion is a covalently bonded set of two or more atoms, that can be considered to behave as a single unit, it also has a charge on it.

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Question no 4:</h2><h3>CONDUCTIVITY:</h3>

Conductivity is more in liquid than in solid because the conductivity is flow of electron and the movement is less in solid than liquids thus the solid has less conductivity. The liquid has more movement of molecules due to which there is more conductivity.

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Question no 5:</h2><h3>FORMULA UNIT: </h3>

Formula unit is a emperical formula used to express the ions in ionic compounds. It is the least whole number ratio of the ions present in the ionic compound.

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Question no 6:</h2><h3>CRYSTAL LATTICE:</h3>

Crystal lattice is the arrangement of atoms, molecules, or ions of a crystal in the form of a three dimensional space lattice.

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Question no 7:</h2><h3>ANION:</h3>

Anion is the negative charged because It receives one electron from the cations thus becomes negatively charged entity. It is attracted towards the positive anode thus it is called anion.

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Question no 8:</h2><h3>MOLECULES:</h3>

Ionic bond do not form molecules, They form the ions.

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Question no 9:</h2><h3>Attraction:</h3>

One type of bonding i.e. ionic bonding is formed by the attraction between the positive and negative ions.

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Question no 10:</h2><h3>LATTICE ENERGY:</h3>

It is the amount of energy required to change the state of matter.

Which contains more atoms, 10. 00 g of aluminum or 10. 00 g of lead? Can you explain without using mathematical conversions?.

Aleks04 [339]

Explanation:

divide the weight in grams by the atomic mass from the periodic table, then multiply the result by Avogadro's number..

Hope this works!!
