Answer is: a. harder.

Friedrich Mohs devised a scale that tested mineral hardness, which means the resistance of a mineral to being scratched. This scale (from 1 to 10) is known as the Mohs Hardness Test.

For examples:

fingernail (hardness = 2.5).

copper penny (hardness = 3)

glass plate or steel knife (hardness = 5.5)

steel file (hardness = 6.5).

According to this scale hardness of the mineral is between 5.5 and 6.5.

Answer: The conclusion that best support the observation is that (A CHEMICAL CHANGE took place).

Explanation:

A chemical reaction is defined as the process by which two or more substances, which are often referred to as REACTANTS, combine through bond formation or dissociation of bonds to form new PRODUCTS. In this type of reaction, a CHEMICAL CHANGE occurred because a new substance is formed as a result of the chemical reaction that took place.

There are different characteristics of a reaction which shows that a chemical change has occurred, these includes:

--> Color Change

--> Production of an odor

--> Change of Temperature

--> Evolution of a gas (formation of bubbles)

-- Precipitate (formation of a solid)

From the chemical reaction in the given question, Lithium metals reacts slowly with water to form a colourless solution of lithium hydroxide (LiOH) and hydrogen gas (H2). Here we observe that the buzzing sound of formed gas bubbles shows that a gas was given off. Therefore in conclusion, a CHEMICAL CHANGE took place.

How many grams of calcium bromide are in 50.0 mL of a 0.25 M calcium bromide solution?
lianna [129]
C_{m}=\frac{n}{V_{r}}\\\\
m=\frac{m}{M}\\\\
C_{m}=\frac{m}{MV_{r}} \ \ \ \ \Rightarrow \ \ \ \ m=C_{m}MV_{r}}\\\\
C_{m}=0.25\frac{mol}{L}\\
M_{CaBr_{2}}=200\frac{g}{mol}\\
V_{r}=50mL=0.05L\\\\
m=0.25\frac{mol}{L}*200\frac{g}{mol}*0.05L= \emph{\textbf{2.5g}}

How many molecules are there in 31.8 moles of water?
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

31.8\ moles = 1.91 * 10^{25}\ molecules

Explanation:

Given

31.8 moles of water

Required

Determine the number of molecule

In standard units: 1 molecule of water is:

1\ mole = 6.022 * 10^{23}\ molecules

Multiply both sides by 31.8

31.8 * 1\ mole = 31.8 *  6.022 * 10^{23}\ molecules

31.8\ moles = 31.8 *  6.022 * 10^{23}\ molecules

31.8\ moles = 191.4996 * 10^{23}\ molecules

Express 191.4996 as a standard form

31.8\ moles = 1.914996 * 10^2 * 10^{23}\ molecules

Apply law of indices:

31.8\ moles = 1.914996 * 10^{2+23}\ molecules

31.8\ moles = 1.914996 * 10^{25}\ molecules

Approximate:

31.8\ moles = 1.91 * 10^{25}\ molecules
