A sample of basalt has smaller crystals than a sample of granite. What is the most likely reason for this?

The most likely reason is that basalt is an extrusive rock, while granite is an intrusive rock. What this means is that basalt forms at the surface of the earth, where temperatures are cooler. Because of the cooler external temperature, basalt cools relatively quickly, and there isn't as much time for mineral crystals within the rock to align to form larger crystals while the rock is cooling. Granite, on the other hand, forms below the surface of the earth, where temperatures are significantly higher. Therefore, it doesn't cool as quickly, and the minerals within granite have more time to form larger crystals and the rock cools.

What mass of aluminum is required if 40.0 grams of iron (III) oxide is to be completely consumed as
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

13.5

Explanation:

Molar mass of Fe2O3 = 2*56 + 16*3 = 112 + 48 =160 approximate value

Number of moles of Fe2O3 = mass/molar mass = 40/160 = 0.25 mol

The reaction is balanced. Fine

1 mol of Fe2O3--------> 2 mol of Al

0.25 mol--------> 0.25*2 = 0.5 mol of Al

Mass of Al required = Number of moles * Molar mass

= 0.5 * 27 = 13.5 g

A beta particle is an electron and it has a -1 charge and zero mass.

Beta decay by emitting an electron is called as β⁻ decay. When this happens, a neutron of the element converts into a proton by emitting an electron. Hence, the mass of daughter nucleus is same as parent atom but atomic number/number of protons is higher by 1 than atomic number of parent atom.

In a β⁻ decay, the symbol is used as ₋₁⁰β or ₋₁⁰e.
             -1 is for charge
<span>              0 is for the mass of the particle

Suppose that 25.0 mL of 0.10 M CH3COOH (aq) is titrated with 0.10 M NaOH (aq). What is the pH after the addition of 10.0 mL of 0
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

pH=-1.37

Explanation:

We are given that 25 mL of 0.10 M CH_3COOH is titrated with 0.10 M NaOH(aq).

We have to find the pH of solution

Volume of CH_3COOH=25mL=0.025 L

Volume of NaoH=0.01 L

Volume of solution =25 +10=35 mL=\frac{35}{1000}=0.035 L

Because 1 L=1000 mL

Molarity of NaOH=Concentration OH-=0.10M

Concentration of H+= Molarity of CH_3COOH=0.10 M

Number of moles of H+=Molarity multiply by volume of given acid

Number of moles of H+=0.10\times 0.025=0.0025 moles

Number of moles of OH^-=0.10\times 0.01=0.001mole

Number of moles of H+ remaining after adding 10 mL base = 0.0025-0.001=0.0015 moles

Concentration of H+=\frac{0.0015}{0.035}=4.28\times 10^{-2} m/L

pH=-log [H+]=-log [4.28\times 10^{-2}]=-log4.28+2 log 10=-0.631+2

pH=-1.37
