How can chemical symbols prove that cubic zirconia is not a diamond?

Chemistry

Answer:

Diamond is pure carbon, C

Zircona is zirconium oxide, ZrO_{2}

Explanation:

Chemical symbols are used to distinguish one atom (or molecule) from the other.

Diamond is composed of pure carbon (C) where each C atom is bonded to four other C atoms forming a repeating network of tetrahedrally linked C atoms. Therefore, the chemical symbol of diamond is C.

If the chemical symbol of zircona were also 'C' then it would prove that both are identical. However, zircona is essentially zirconium oxide which has a chemical formula, ZrO_{2}. Therefore, the different symbols suggest that the two are not identical.

One compound can be differentiate from other by its composition although both look same. The diamond has the chemical formula of carbon (c) as it is a repeating unit of carbon which has shining features. On the other hand zirconia is zirconium dioxide (ZrO_{2}. When it is crystallized it becomes shiny as like diamond. However the look of the two are meanwhile similar the composition is totally different as well the molar mass.

there is an ice cream shop 6 blocks north of your hotel. how many minutes will it take to walk there and back
Allushta [10]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete.

However, when all the required data are available, you can use the formula/steps below

Average speed/velocity (m/s) = distance (in metres) ÷ time (in seconds)

Time (in secs) = distance ÷ average speed/velocity

Kindly note that "blocks" is not a standard unit for distance measurement in science, hence the distance (since its a walking distance) must be in metres (or converted to metres if not in metres).

The distance in the formula is the distance from the hotel to the ice cream shop while the average speed is the distance covered per time as s/he walks to the ice cream shop and back. Hence, the answer gotten from the formula above will have to be multiplied by 2 (in order to get the time taken to walk to the ice cream shop and back) because the formula will only provide answer to one trip (time taken to walk to the shop).

After the multiplication mentioned above, the time in seconds should be converted to minutes by dividing the answer in seconds by 60

Two tons of water is pumped into a tank 15 ft. High in 5 minutes. Determine the power output of the pump. (Note: One ton is equa
Semmy [17]

Answer:

200 lb•ft/s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Force (F) = 2 tons

Time (t) = 5 mins

Height (h) = 15 ft

Power (P) =?

Next, we shall convert 2 tons to pound. This can be obtained as follow:

1 ton = 2000 lb

Therefore,

2 tons = 2 × 2000

2 tons = 4000 lb

Next, we shall convert 5 mins to seconds. This can be obtained as follow:

1 min = 60 s

Therefore,

5 mins = 5 × 60

5 mins = 300 s

Finally, we shall determine the power of the pump. This can be obtained as follow:

Force (F) = 4000 lb

Time (t) = 300 s

Height (h) = 15 ft

Power (P) =?

P = F × h / t

P = 4000 × 15 / 300

P = 60000 / 300

P = 200 lb•ft/s

Thus, the power of the pump is 200 lb•ft/s

A gas is collected at 20.0 °C and 725.0 mm Hg. When the temperature is
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

676mmHg

Explanation:

Using the formula;

P1/T1 = P2/T2

Where;

P1 = initial pressure (mmHg)

P2 = final pressure (mmHg)

T1 = initial temperature (K)

T2 = final temperature (K)

According to the information provided in this question;

P1 = 725.0mmHg

P2 = ?

T1 = 20°C = 20 + 273 = 293K

T2 = 0°C = 0 + 273 = 273K

Using P1/T1 = P2/T2

725/293 = P2/273

Cross multiply

725 × 273 = 293 × P2

197925 = 293P2

P2 = 197925 ÷ 293

P2 = 676mmHg.

The resulting pressure is 676mmHg
