Answer:

A. Mafic; iron and/or magnesium

Explanation:

Let's find the answer by naming some minerals and their chemistry.

Mafic minerals are dark-colored whereas felsic minerals are light-colored, thats way mafic rocks are dark-colored because they are mainly composed by mafic minerals and the other way around for felsic rocks.

But remember that mafic minerals as amphiboles, pyroxenes or biotites, involve in their chemical structure iron and/or magnesium. Although calcium and sodium can be incorporated in amphiboles and clinopyroxenes, they are not involved in orthopyroxenes and biotites. On the other hand, although potassium is involved in biotite and in some extent in amphiboles, this element is not involved in pyroxenes.

So in conclusion, mafic minerals are usually dark-colored because they involve iron and/or magnesium in their chemical structures.

You have a solution of 600 mg of caffeine dissolved in 100 mL of water. The partition coefficient for aqueous caffeine extracted
klio [65]

Answer:

159 mg caffeine is being extracted in 60 mL dichloromethane

Explanation:

Given that:

mass of caffeine in 100 mL of water =  600 mg

Volume of the water = 100 mL

Partition co-efficient (K) = 4.6

mass of caffeine extracted = ??? (unknown)

The portion of the DCM = 60 mL

Partial co-efficient (K) = \frac{C_1}{C_2}

where; C_1= solubility of compound in the organic solvent and C_2 = solubility in aqueous water.

So; we can represent our data as:

K=(\frac{A_{(g)}}{60mL} ) ÷ (\frac{B_{(mg)}}{100mL} )

Since one part of the portion is A and the other part is B

A+B = 60 mL

A+B = 0.60

A= 0.60 - B

4.6=(\frac{0.6-B(mg)}{60mL} ) ÷ (\frac{B_{(mg)}}{100mL})

4.6 = \frac{(\frac{0.6-B(mg)}{60mL} )}{(\frac{B_{(mg)}}{100mL})}

4.6 × (\frac{B_{(mg)}}{100mL}) = (\frac{0.6-B(mg)}{60mL} )

4.6 B *\frac{60}{100} = 0.6 - B

2.76 B = 0.6 - B

2.76 + B = 0.6

3.76 B = 0.6

B = \frac{0.6}{3.76}

B = 0.159 g

B = 159 mg

∴ 159 mg caffeine is being extracted from the 100 mL of water containing 600 mg of caffeine with one portion of in 60 mL dichloromethane.

A sample containing 2.30 mol of Ne gas has an initial volume of 8.00 L. What is the final volume, in liters, when the following
marta [7]

Answer:

a. 4,00L

b. 16,00L

c. 12,31L

Explanation:

Avogadro's law says:

\frac{V_1}{n_1} =\frac{V_2}{n_2}

a. If initial conditions are 2,30mol and 8,00L and you lose one-half of atoms, that means you have 1,15mol:

\frac{8,00L}{2,30mol} =\frac{V_2}{1,15mol}

<em>V₂ = 4,00L</em>

b. If initial conditions are 2,30mol and 8,00L and you add 2,30mol, that means you have 4,60mol:

\frac{8,00L}{2,30mol} =\frac{V_2}{4,60mol}

<em>V₂ = 16,00L</em>

c. 25,0g of Ne are:

25,0g × (1mol / 20,1797g) = 1,24 moles of Ne. That means you have 2,30mol - 1,24mol = 3,54mol of Ne

\frac{8,00L}{2,30mol} =\frac{V_2}{3,54mol}

<em>V₂ = 12,31L</em>

I hope it helps!

If the spin of one electron in an orbital is clockwise, what is the spin of the other electron in that orbital?
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

The other electron must have anticlockwise spin.

Explanation:

According to the pauli exclusion principle, the two elecrton present in same orbital must have opposite spin.

If the one electron is clockwise the other must be in anti clockwise direction. The clockwise direction is represented by the sign +1/2 while anti clockwise direction is represented by -1/2.

According the pauli principle, the two electrons must have different fourth electronic quantum number. The electron in same orbital have same first three quantum number i.e, n=1 l=0 and ml =0 in case of first subshell.

The reaction C4H8(g)⟶2C2H4(g) C4H8(g)⟶2C2H4(g) has an activation energy of 262 kJ/mol.262 kJ/mol. At 600.0 K,600.0 K, the rate c
crimeas [40]

Answer : The rate constant at 785.0 K is, 1.45\times 10^{-2}s^{-1}

Explanation :

According to the Arrhenius equation,

K=A\times e^{\frac{-Ea}{RT}}

or,

\log (\frac{K_2}{K_1})=\frac{Ea}{2.303\times R}[\frac{1}{T_1}-\frac{1}{T_2}]

where,

K_1 = rate constant at 600.0K = 6.1\times 10^{-8}s^{-1}

K_2 = rate constant at 785.0K = ?

Ea = activation energy for the reaction = 262 kJ/mole = 262000 J/mole

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mole.K

T_1 = initial temperature = 600.0K

T_2 = final temperature = 785.0K

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

\log (\frac{K_2}{6.1\times 10^{-8}s^{-1}})=\frac{262000J/mole}{2.303\times 8.314J/mole.K}[\frac{1}{600.0K}-\frac{1}{785.0K}]

K_2=1.45\times 10^{-2}s^{-1}

Therefore, the rate constant at 785.0 K is, 1.45\times 10^{-2}s^{-1}

A weather balloon is filled with helium that occupies a volume of 5.57 104 L at 0.995 atm and 32.0°C. After it is released, it r
Alchen [17]

6.52 × 10⁴ L. (3 sig. fig.)

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Helium is a noble gas. The interaction between two helium molecules is rather weak, which makes the gas rather "ideal."

Consider the ideal gas law:

P\cdot V = n\cdot R\cdot T,

where

  • P is the pressure of the gas,
  • V is the volume of the gas,
  • n is the number of gas particles in the gas,
  • R is the ideal gas constant, and
  • T is the absolute temperature of the gas in degrees Kelvins.

The question is asking for the final volume V of the gas. Rearrange the ideal gas equation for volume:

V = \dfrac{n \cdot R \cdot T}{P}.

Both the temperature of the gas, T, and the pressure on the gas changed in this process. To find the new volume of the gas, change one variable at a time.

Start with the absolute temperature of the gas:

  • T_0 = (32.0 + 273.15) \;\text{K} = 305.15\;\text{K},
  • T_1 = (-14.5 + 273.15) \;\text{K} = 258.65\;\text{K}.

The volume of the gas is proportional to its temperature if both n and P stay constant.

  • n won't change unless the balloon leaks, and
  • consider P to be constant, for calculations that include T.

V_1 = V_0 \cdot \dfrac{T_1}{T_2} = 5.57\times 10^{4}\;\text{L}\times \dfrac{258.65\;\textbf{K}}{305.15\;\textbf{K}} = 4.72122\times 10^{4}\;\text{L}.

Now, keep the temperature at T_1 =258.65\;\text{K} and change the pressure on the gas:

  • P_1 = 0.995\;\text{atm},
  • P_2 = 0.720\;\text{atm}.

The volume of the gas is proportional to the reciprocal of its absolute temperature \dfrac{1}{T} if both n and T stays constant. In other words,

V_2 = V_1 \cdot\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{P_2}}{\dfrac{1}{P_1}} = V_1\cdot\dfrac{P_1}{P_2} = 4.72122\times 10^{4}\;\text{L}\times\dfrac{0.995\;\text{atm}}{0.720\;\text{atm}}=6.52\times 10^{4}\;\text{L}

(3 sig. fig. as in the question.).

See if you get the same result if you hold T constant, change P, and then move on to change T.
