Can a window pane be considered a mineral?

Chemistry
2 answers:
hichkok12 [17]3 years ago

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.

Cobalt-63 has a half-life of 5.3 years. If a pellet that has been in storage for 15.9 years contains 40.0g of Cobalt-63, how muc
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

320 g  

Step-by-step explanation:

The half-life of Co-63 (5.3 yr) is the time it takes for half of it to decay.  

After one half-life, half (50 %) of the original amount will remain.  

After a second half-life, half of that amount (25 %) will remain, and so on.  

We can construct a table as follows:  

  No. of               Fraction         Mass

half-lives   t/yr   Remaining   Remaining/g

      0        0              1

      1         5.3           ½

     2        10.6           ¼

     3        15.9           ⅛                 40.0

     4        21.2           ¹/₁₆

We see that 40.0 g remain after three half-lives.

This is one-eighth of the original mass.

The mass of the original sample was 8 × 40 g = 320 g

Consider the given examples listed here, find out which substance from the list will turn phenolphthalein pink? (a) vinegar ( b)
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

(d) soap.

Explanation:

A soap is obtained by alkaline hydrolysis of a fat to yield the soap and glycerol. This process is known as saponification.

A soap solution is usually basic. Since phenolphthalein turns pink in an alkaline solution, then when phenolphthalein is added to a soap solution, the solution soon turns pink because it is alkaline in nature.

As a matter of fact, a soap sometimes has almost the pH of baking soda!

For the reaction, calculate how many grams of the product form when 14.4 g of Br2 completely reacts. Assume that there is more t
lora16 [44]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 21.45 g of KBr

Explanation:

Chemical reaction

                               2K + Br₂   ⇒   2KBr

                                       14.4            ?

Process

1.- Calculate the molecular mass of bromine and potassium bromide

Bromine = 2 x 79.9 = 159.8g

Potassium bromide = 2(79.9 + 39.1) = 238 g

2.- Solve it using proportions

              159.8 g of Bromine ------------ 238 g of potassium bromide                    

                14.4 g of Bromine  ------------  x

                        x = (14.4 x 238) / 159.8

                        x = 3427.2 / 159.8

                        x = 21.45g of KBr

1.2 What type of bonding occurs when hydrogen form a diatomic molecule?​
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

I think it is covalent bonding...

Explanation:

The bonding is covalent in homonuclear diatomic molecules. Each atom in the molecule has the same electronegativity, which means electrons are shared equally between the two. The electronegativity of the atoms in heteronuclear diatomic molecules varies, and these molecules have polar covalent bonds. A dipole is formed when a molecule interacts with another molecule. (i think it's covalent bonding but i might be wrong)

hope this helps...
