Can a window pane be considered a mineral?

Chemistry
2 answers:
hichkok12 [17]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Explanation:

The glass (which does not crystallize even though it is accepted) of a window is NOT a mineral, since it is neither a substance of natural origin (although it is manufactured from natural components) nor does it have a defined crystalline structure, that is, the atoms they are not arranged in an orderly and regular way along axes and planes forming flat faces that keep a symmetry.

Remember that a mineral is defined as a solid, inorganic, homogeneous substance, of natural origin, with a crystalline structure and a determined and well-defined chemical composition within narrow margins and that has regular and characteristic physical properties.

Explanation: No, glass is not a mineral. ... Definable chemical composition: SiO2 *Actually, most industrially-produced glass is not pure silica, but having impurities is still a definable chemical composition so this part of the definition is ok. Orderly arrangement of atoms in a lattice: NO.

Calculate the equilibrium constant for each of the reactions at 25 ∘C. 2Fe3+(aq)+3Sn(s)→2Fe(s)+3Sn2+(aq)
iragen [17]
We take activities of Solids and liquids equal 1. The reason is there concentrations not at all change amount of reactant at equilibrium in the reaction. Hence we don't consider concentrations of pure solids and liquids while writing equilibrium constant. So for above reaction, equilibrium constant (K) = [Sn^2 +] ^3 x 1 / [Fe^3+]^2 x 1. Ping me if you have any doubts.

Which of the following is NOT TRUE for both mitosis and meiosis?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

d. they are both involved in the division of somatic cells​

Explanation:

Mitosis and meiosis are both types of cell divisions that occur in the system of living organisms. However, mitosis and meiosis are different in the type and number of daughter cells they give rise to and also where they occur.

Mitosis, which takes place in the SOMATIC OR BODY CELLS of living organisms, give rise to two daughter cells that are genetically identical to their parent cell. On the other hand, meiosis takes place strictly in the CELLS OF REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS, and gives rise to four genetically different daughter cells.

1. Which metal is the most reactive? How do you know this?​
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

cesium

Explanation:

The most reactive metal on the periodic table is francium. However, francium is a man-made element and only minute quantities have been produced, so for all practical purposes, the most reactive metal is cesium. Cesium reacts explosively with water, though it is predicted francium would react even more vigorously.
