Coal like graphite is composed of carbon. Unlike graphite, coal is formed by decayed, once living matter. Is it a mineral?

Coal is not a mineral. It's not a mineral because minerals are inorganic. Coal is organic because it comes from decayed living matter.

Answer:

1.60x10⁶ billions of g of CO₂

Explanation:

Let's calculate the production of CO₂ by a single human in a day. The molar mass of glucose is 180.156 g/mol and CO₂ is 44.01 g/mol. By the stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mol of C₆H₁₂O₆ -------------------------- 6 moles of CO₂

Transforming for mass multiplying the number of moles by the molar mass:

180.156 g of C₆H₁₂O₆ ----------------- 264.06 g of CO₂

4.59x10² g ---------------- x

By a simple direct three rule:

180.156x = 121203.54

x = 672.77 g of CO₂ per day per human

So, in a year, 6.50 billion of human produce:

672.77 * 365 * 6.50 billion = 1.60x10⁶ billions of g of CO₂

A mysterious white powder could be powdered sugar (C12H22O11), cocaine (C17H21NO4), codeine (C18H21NO3), norfenefrine (C8H11NO2)
rodikova [14]

Norfenefrine (C₈H₁₁NO₂).

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

We will solve a case related to one of the colligative properties, namely freezing point depression.

The freezing point of the solution is the temperature at which the solution begins to freeze. The difference between the freezing point of the solvent and the freezing point of the solution is called freezing point depression.

\boxed{ \ \Delta T_f = T_f(solvent) - T_f(solution) \ } \rightarrow \boxed{ \ \Delta T_f = K_f \times molality \ }

<u>Given:</u>

A mysterious white powder could be,

  • powdered sugar (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) with a molar mass of 342.30 g/moles,
  • cocaine (C₁₇H₂₁NO₄) with a molar mass of 303.35 g/moles,
  • codeine (C₁₈H₂₁NO₃) with a molar mass of 299.36 g/moles,
  • norfenefrine (C₈H₁₁NO₂) with a molar mass of 153.18 g/moles, or
  • fructose (C₆H₁₂O₆) with a molar mass of 180.16 g/moles.

When 82 mg of the powder is dissolved in 1.50 mL of ethanol (density = 0.789 g/cm³, normal freezing point −114.6°C, Kf = 1.99°C/m), the freezing point is lowered to −115.5°C.

<u>Question: </u>What is the identity of the white powder?

<u>The Process:</u>

Let us identify the solute, the solvent, initial, and final temperatures.

  • The solute = the powder
  • The solvent = ethanol
  • The freezing point of the solvent = −114.6°C
  • The freezing point of the solution = −115.5°C

Prepare masses of solutes and solvents.

  • Mass of solute = 82 mg = 0.082 g
  • Mass of solvent = density x volume, i.e., \boxed{ \ 0.789 \ \frac{g}{cm^3} \times 1.50 \ cm^3 = 1.1835 \ g = 0.00118 \ kg  \ }

We must prepare the solvent mass unit in kg because the unit of molality is the mole of the solute divided by the mass of the solvent in kg.

The molality formula is as follows:

\boxed{ \ m = \frac{moles \ of \ solute}{kg \ of \ solvent} \ } \rightarrow \boxed{ \ m = \frac{mass \ of \ solute \ (g)}{molar \ mass \ of \ solute \times kg \ of \ solvent} \ }

Now we combine it with the formula of freezing point depression.

\boxed{ \ \Delta T_f =  K_f \times \frac{mass \ of \ solute \ (g)}{molar \ mass \ of \ solute \times kg \ of \ solvent} \ }

It is clear that we will determine the molar mass of the solute (denoted by Mr).

We enter all data into the formula.

\boxed{ \ -114.6^0C - (-115.5^0C) = 1.99 \frac{^0C}{m} \times \frac{0.082 \ g}{Mr \times 0.00118 \ kg} \ }

\boxed{ \ 0.9 = \frac{1.99 \times 0.082}{Mr \times 0.00118} \ }

\boxed{ \ Mr = \frac{0.16318}{0.9 \times 0.00118} \ }

We get \boxed{ \ Mr = 153.65 \ }

These results are very close to the molar mass of norfenefrine which is 153.18 g/mol. Thus the white powder is norfenefrine.
