Explain why each mineral has its own properties, different from every other mineral

1 answer:

4 0

Each mineral has its own properties different from other minerals because minerals are made up of different elements. Different elements which can be found on the periodic table all have unique properties, therefore, gold will have distinct properties in comparison with zinc or aluminium for example because they are made up of different elements :))))
I hope this is helpful

"An aqueous CaCl2 solution has a vapor pressure of 83.1mmHg at 50 ∘C. The vapor pressure of pure water at this temperature is 92

Lynna [10]

Answer : The the concentration of $CaCl_2$ in mass percent is, 41.18 %

Solution : Given,

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mole

Molar mass of $CaCl_2$ = 110.98 g/mole

First we have to calculate the mole fraction of solute.

According to the relative lowering of vapor pressure, the vapor pressure of a component at a given temperature is equal to the mole fraction of that component of the solution multiplied by the vapor pressure of that component in the pure state.

$\fac{p^o-p_s}{p^o}=X_B$

where,

$p^o$ = vapor pressure of the pure component (water) = 92.6 mmHg

$p_s$ = vapor pressure of the solution = 83.1 mmHg

$X_B$ = mole fraction of solute, $(CaCl_2)$

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the mole fraction of solute.

$\fac{92.6-83.1}{92.6}=X_B$

$X_B=0.102$

Now we have to calculate the mole fraction of solvent (water).

As we know that,

$X_A+X_B=1\\\\X_A=1-X_B\\\\X_A=1-0.102\\\\X_A=0.898$

The number of moles of solute and solvent will be, 0.102 and 0.898 moles respectively.

Now we have to calculate the mass of solute, $(CaCl_2)$ and solvent, $(H_2O)$ .

$\text{Mass of }CaCl_2=\text{Moles of }CaCl_2\times \text{Molar mass of }CaCl_2$

$\text{Mass of }CaCl_2=(0.102mole)\times (110.98g/mole)=11.32g$

$\text{Mass of }H_2O=\text{Moles of }H_2O\times \text{Molar mass of }H_2O$

$\text{Mass of }H_2O=(0.898mole)\times (18g/mole)=16.164g$

Mass of solution = Mass of solute + Mass of solvent

Mass of solution = 11.32 + 16.164 = 27.484 g

Now we have to calculate the mass percent of $CaCl_2$

$Mass\%=\frac{\text{Mass of}CaCl_2}{\text{Mass of solution}}\times 100=\frac{11.32g}{27.484g}\times 100=41.18\%$

Therefore, the the concentration of $CaCl_2$ in mass percent is, 41.18 %

Red giant stars defination

kramer

Answer:

A red giant is a luminous giant star of low or intermediate mass in a late phase of stellar evolution. The outer atmosphere is inflated and tenuous, making the radius large and the surface temperature around 5,000 K or lower.

Choose all of the answers that are correct when describing this atom.

gregori [183]

I believe that this atom is chlorine and the atom has an overall charge of zero.
Chlorine is chemical element which is atomic number 17 in the periodic table. Each chlorine atom has 17 protons (positively charged) in the nucleus balanced by 17 electrons (negatively charged) in the energy shells ( thus an overall charge of zero)
