Which two rocks are primarily composed of a mineral that bubbles with acid?

Chemistry

Marianna [84]3 years ago

To most geologists, the term "acid test" means placing a drop of dilute (5% to 10%) hydrochloric acid on a rock or mineral and watching for bubbles of carbon<span> dioxide gas to be released. The bubbles signal the presence of carbonate minerals such as</span>calcite<span>, </span>dolomite<span>, or one of the minerals listed in Table 1.</span>

Which of these has the most covalent character? <br> NaF Caf2 Bef2 CsF SrF2
Ksenya-84 [330]

Thus BeF2 is of most covalent character.

Anyways, covalent/ionic character is a bit tricky to figure out; we measure the difference in electronegativity of two elements bonding together and we use the following rule of thumb: if the charge is 0 (or a little more), the bond is non-polar covalent; if the charge is > 0 but < 2.0 (some references say 1.7), the bond is polar covalent; if the charge is > 2.0 then the bond is ionic. Covalent character refers to smaller electronegativity difference while ionic character refers to greater electronegativity difference.


Now, notice all of our bonds are with F, fluorine, which has the highest electronegativity of 3.98. This means that to determine character we need to consider the electronegativities of the other elements -- whichever has the greatest electronegativity has the least difference and most covalent character.
Na, sodium, has electronegativity of 0.93, so our difference is ~3 -- meaning our bond is ionic. Ca, calcium, has 1.00, leaving our difference to again be ~3 and therefore the bond is ionic. Be, beryllium, has 1.57 yielding a difference of ~2.5, meaning we're still dealing with ionic bond. Cs, cesium, has 0.79, meaning our difference is again ~3 and therefore again our compound is of ionic bond. Lastly, we have Sr, strontium, with an electronegativity of 0.95 and therefore again a difference of roughly 3 and an ionic bond. <span>

Is the following nuclear equation balanced?<br><br> No<br> Yes
fredd [130]

Answer:

Yes.

The nuclear equation {226/88 Ra → 222/26 Rn + 4/2 He} is balanced. As we know that an alpha particle is identical to a helium atom. This implies that if an alpha particle is eliminated from an atom's nucleus, an atomic number of 2 and a mass number of 4 is lost.

Therefore, the equation will be reduced to:

226 - 4 = 222

88 - 2 = 86

Hence, the equation is balanced.

In which of these situations is convection most likely the main form of heat transfer?
lorasvet [3.4K]
In the first situation: the mechanism of covection is the main form of heat transfer when warm air from a heater moves around and upward.

In the case of the metal pan the mechanism of heat transfer is conduction.

In the case of sunburn the mechanism is radiation.

In the case of an ice cube melting in a hand, conduction is the most important mechanism.

Calculate concentration of methylene blue . Give answer in molarity. concentration in ppm=4.8
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

The molarity of methylene blue is 1.5 × 10⁻⁵ M

Explanation:

When we talk about aqueous solutions, 1 ppm means 1 mg of solute per liter of solution. We need to express this concentration in molarity, which is moles of solute per liter of solution. To convert mass to moles we need the molar mass of methylene blue(MB), which is 320 g/mol.

Then,

\frac{4.8mgMB}{1Lsolution} .\frac{1gMB}{10^{3}mgMB } .\frac{1molMB}{320gMB} =1.5 \times 10^{-5} M
