Answer: Option (3) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When an element exists in two or more different physical forms then they are known as allotropes.

For example, diamond and graphite are both allotropes of carbon.

In graphite, carbon atoms are joined together in sheets of six sided lattice. Whereas in diamond, carbon atoms are joined together in four cornered lattice.

Therefore, as these allotropes are made up of same element so they have similar chemical properties but different physical properties like melting point, boiling point etc.

Also, both of them have different molecular structure.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement the differ in their molecular structure and properties correctly describes diamond and graphite.

Describe 3 natural resources that are formed and distributed around the world.

joja [24]

Explanation:

3 Earth's many natural resources, including oil, water, soil, minerals, wind, and sunlight, are unevenly distributed on Earth's surface. In other words, resources are concentrated in specific places because of the processes by which they form.

When plates collide or undergo subduction (that is – ride one over another), the plates tend to buckle and fold, forming mountains. Most of the major continental mountain ranges are associated with thrusting and folding or orogenesis. Examples are the Balkan Mountains, the Jura and the Zagros mountains.

1truth, there are three ways in which mountains are formed, which correspond to the types of mountains in question. These are known as volcanic, fold and block mountains

You may have to recrystallize any or all of the components of your extraction mixture, benzoic acid, ethyl-4-aminobenzoate and f

hjlf

Answer:

the Recrystallization solvents are;

-Sodium Hydroxide Base (NaOH)

- Hydrochloric Acid (HCl)

- Sand bath when acidic and basic components are removed.

Explanation:

Recrystallization is simply a technique used to purify an impure compound in a solvent.

Now, we want to purify the mixture of benzoic acid, Ethyl-4-aminobenzoate and fluorenone.

For the benzoic acid, it can be separated out of the mixture by addition of sodium hydroxide base (NaOH).

The Ethyl - 4 - aminobenzoate will be separated from the mixture by the addition of Hydrochloric Acid (HCl).

The fluorenone would be separated out by heating the mixture in a sand bath after the basic and acidic components have already been extracted out.

Thus, the Recrystallization solvents are;

-Sodium Hydroxide Base (NaOH)

- Hydrochloric Acid (HCl)

- Sand bath when acidic and basic components are removed.
