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.

How many sodium ions are in 1.4 kg of sodium chloride, NaCl?
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

1.44 x 10²⁵ ions of Na⁺

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of NaCl  = 1.4kg  = 1400g

Unknown:

Number of ions of sodium  = ?

Solution:

The compound NaCl in ionic form can be written as;

      NaCl →  Na⁺ + Cl⁻

In 1 mole of NaCl we have 1 mole of sodium ions

 Now, let us find the number of moles in NaCl;

  Number of moles  = \frac{mass}{molar mass}  

    Molar mass of NaCl  = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5g/mol

Number of moles  =  \frac{1400}{58.5}     = 23.93mol

 So;

   Since 1 mole of NaCl gives 1 mole of Na⁺  

    In 23.93 mole of NaCl will give 23.93 mole of Na⁺

1 mole of a substance  = 6.02 x 10²³ ions of a substance

  23.93 mole of a substance  =  6.02 x 10²³ x  23.93

                                                   = 1.44 x 10²⁵ ions of Na⁺

Explain why an indicator is used in titration
stellarik [79]

Answer:

Titrations. Because a noticeable pH change occurs near the equivalence point of acid-base titrations, an indicator can be used to signal the end of a titration. When selecting an indicator for acid-base titrations, choose an indicator whose pH range falls within the pH change of the reaction.

Hope it helped!!

Which of the following features is common to both acids and bases? A. ability to burn skin B. similar taste C. pH measurements g
Lynna [10]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

            Correct Option-A (Ability to burn skin)

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

                    When skin tissues are exposed to Acids or Bases a chemical burn occurs as both of these substances are corrosive in nature. These burns occur without providing any heat, results from a very fast reaction, are extremely painful and causes damage to structures present under skin.

                    Option-B is incorrect because Acids taste sour, while, Bases taste bitter.

                    Option-C is incorrect because pH of Acids is less than 7 while, pH of Bases is greater than 7.
