Which mineral(s) might you be examining if you place some hydrochloric (hcl) acid on a sample and it fizzes?

The minerals that one might be examining if you place some hydrochloric acid on a sample and it fizzes are Calcite and Dolomite.
Calcite and dolomite are very similar minerals. Both have the same hardness, the same rhombohedral cleavage, and are found in identical geologic settings. The best way to tell one from the other is the acid test; A drop of 1 M HCl on calcite produces an instant , obvious Fizz; a drop on dolomite produces slow or no obvious bubbling.

Which gas has approximately the same density as c2h6 at stp no nh3 h20 so2?

zmey [24]

1 mole of any gas occupy 22.4 L at STP (standard temperature and pressure, 0°C and 1 atm).

Let given gases be 1 mole. So their volumes will be the same, 22.4 liters.

Density is the ratio of mass to volume.

By formula; density= mass/volume; d=m/V

To find out masses of gases, do the mole calculation.

By formula; mole= mass/molar mass; n= m/M; m= n*M

Molar masses are calculated as
1. C₂H₆ (ethane) = 2*12 g/mol + 6*1 g/mol= 30 g/mol
2. NO (nitrogen monoxide) = 1*14 g/mol + 1*16 g/mol= 30 g/mol
3. NH₃ (ammonia) = 1*14 g/mol + 3*1 g/mol= 17 g/mol
4. H₂O (water) = 2*1 g/mol + 1*16 g/mol= 18 g/mol
5. SO₂ (sulfur dioxide) = 1*32 g/mol + 2*16 g/mol= 64 g/mol
Use Periodic Table to get atomic mass of elements.

Since their volumes are equal, compounds having the same molar mass will have the same density.
Recall the formula d= m/V.

Ethane and nitrogen monoxide have the same density.

The answer is C₂H₆ and NO.

Alkenes: draw the product of 1-chloro-2-ethylcyclohexene with hydrogen gas and a platinum catalyst

atroni [7]

Reacting 1-chloro-2-ethylcyclohexene with hydrogen gas using a platinum catalyst would give a product of 1-chloro-2-ethylcyclohexane.

Hydrogen gas is a reducing agent, which in this reaction, simply mean that the alkene double bond in the cyclohexene will disappear because one of the two bonds forming the double bond (in the alkene) will be connected to a hydrogen atom. The platinum catalyst is necessary to allow the reaction to proceed at a much lower (activation) energy than would have been required.

What are the products of the following neutralization reaction (No need to balance)

Nina [5.8K]

HCI + NaOH --> NaCl + H2O

Neutralization reaction is the reaction between acid and base which results in formation of salt and water. Here salt is NaCl (common salt) in above reaction.

SO, (A) H20 + NaCl is your answer.

Which most likely indicates a chemical change has occurred?

Lyrx [107]

Chemical change can be determined when a substance change it's state of composition and is irreversible. Five evidences that chemical change has occured are, color change, formation of a precipitate, formation of gas, odor change, temperature change. Examples of chemical change are, combustion reactions, rusting iron, precipitate of AgCl.
