Chemistry

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.

At STP, how many moles of carbon dioxide will occupy 35.2 L of space?
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

Moles of carbon dioxide are 1.57

Explanation:

Using ideal gas law, you can find moles of a gas with its pressure, temperature and volume, thus:

PV = nRT

PV/RT = n

<em>Where P is pressure, V is volume (35.2L); R is gas constant (0.082atmL/molK); T is absolute temperature and n are moles</em>

At STP, temperature is 273.15K and pressure is 1atm

Replacing:

1atm×35.2L / 0.082atmL/molK×273.15K = n

<em>1.57 = n</em>

<em>Moles of carbon dioxide are 1.57</em>
