Scratch Test is your answer

A scratch test is when one rubs a mineral on a piece of white tile, and sees what color is left behind. Also, the mineral that has the scratches is weaker than the material that leaves the scratch mark.

hope this helps

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The test is called as STREAK TEST. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

One approach to distinguish the mineral is by playing out the streak test in which a bit of the mineral is scratched over a porcelain tile. The shade of the powder delivered by the mineral on the tile is utilized to distinguish the mineral and the powder shading is known as a streak.

The streak colour of some of the minerals are as follows:

  • <em>Chromite Dark brown </em>
  • <em>Cuprite brownish Red </em>
  • <em>Malachite  Green </em>
  • <em>Talc   Pale green. </em>

The planet Mercury takes 176 days to do one spin around its pole. Compared to the Earth,
Tanya [424]

Answer:

The sun would appear to move more slowly across Mercury's sky.

Explanation:

This is because, the time it takes to do one spin or revolution on Mercury is 176 days (which is its period), whereas, the time it takes to do one spin or revolution on the Earth is 1 day.

Since the angular speed ω = 2π/T where T = period

So on  Mercury, T' = 176days = 176 days × 24 hr/day × 60 min/hr × 60 s/min = ‭15,206,400‬ s

So, ω' = 2π/T'

= 2π/15,206,400‬ s

= 4.132 × 10⁻⁷ rad/s

So on  Earth, T" = 1 day = 1 day × 24 hr/day × 60 min/hr × 60 s/min = ‭‭86,400‬ s

So, ω" = 2π/T"

= 2π/86,400‬ s

= 7.272 × 10⁻⁵ rad/s

Since ω' = 4.132 × 10⁻⁷ rad/s << ω" = 7.272 × 10⁻⁵ rad/s, <u>the sun would appear to move more slowly across Mercury's sky.</u>

Answer:

Geothermal energy has a faster rate because a vast amount of heat energy is always present inside Earth's core.  

Geothermal energy has a slower rate because the water present below Earth's surface cools down periodically

a compound has an empirical formula of CH2 what is the molecular formula if it's molar mass is 252.5 grams/mol
Goryan [66]

Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of components making up the compound. the molecular formula is the actual ratio of components making up the compound.

the empirical formula is CH₂. We can find the mass of CH₂ one empirical unit and have to then find the number of empirical units in the molecular formula.

Mass of one empirical unit - CH₂ - 12 g/mol x 1 + 1 g/mol x 2 = 12 = 14 g

Molar mass of the compound is - 252 .5 g/mol

number of empirical units = molar mass / mass of empirical unit

                                           = \frac{252.5 g/mol}{14 g}

                                           = 18 units

Therefore molecular formula is - 18 times the empirical formula

molecular formula  - CH₂ x 18 = C₁₈H₃₆                                            

molecular formula is C₁₈H₃₆
