As common sense dictates, Mohs Scale is based on the fact that a harder material will scratch a softer one. By using a simple scratch test, you can determine the relative hardness of an unknown mineral.

The molar heat of fusion of platinum (Pt) is 4.700 kcal/mol. How much heat must be added to 85.5 g of
zvonat [6]

Answer:

2.07 Kcal heat must be added to completely melt the platinum.

Explanation:

Given data:

Molar heat of fusion =  4.700 Kcal / mol

Mass of platinum = 85.5 g

Heat of fusion = ?

Solution:

Formula:

ΔH = n × molar heat of fusion

n = number of moles

Now we will calculate the number of moles:

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 85.5 g /195.08 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.44 mole

ΔH = n × molar heat of fusion

ΔH = 0.44 mol × 4.700 Kcal / mol

ΔH = 2.07 Kcal

1.Which statement best describes scientific laws
gtnhenbr [62]
In a way, all of the answers could be argued for (for example: in the first option: if the scientists' opinions are understood to be "informed understanding of the causes of events"), but one of the options is the best:
Scientific laws describe specific relationships in nature without offering
an explanation.

The reason why  I think this is true is that many laws are phased too short and too concise to provide comprehensive explanations, instead they describe the relationships that must hold.


One of the options is pplain false:
Scientific laws explain why natural events occur. -"Scientific laws were theories that have been tested, proven, and adopted as laws." - since they are not adopted as laws.
