Answer:  It always contains certain elements.

It always contains elements in definite proportions.

Explanation:

A mineral is a naturally occurring, inorganic solid that has a crystal structure and a definite chemical composition

All the minerals are Naturally occurring i.e. they can not be man made. They are inorganic i.e. it can never come from something living. They occur as Solids i.e they have definite shape and volume. They have Crystal structure i.e they are formed by repeating units. They have definite chemical composition i.e they are made up of certain elements and the elements will always be present in a fixed ratio by mass.

<h2>Answer:It always contains certain elements,It always contains elements in definite proportions.,It cannot contain atoms from more than one element.</h2>

Explanation:

The mineral need not occur always in a pure form.On purification we get the exact chemical composition.

The mineral always has a definite chemical composition which means the number of elements and types of elements in the mineral does not change.

Since the mineral has definite composition,the elements in the mineral has definite proportions.

The mineral can be a compound.So,there can be atoms from more than one element.

What is the mass of 4.5 moles of nitrogen gas
Citrus2011 [14]

n = m / M

m = n × M

Nitrogen (N2) - a gas is always with an index 2 if we don't have shown how many molecules are there

m (N2) = 4,5 mol × (2×14.007 g/mol)

m (N2) = 4,5 mol × 28.014 g/mol = 126.063g

if you don't solve with the decimals in class just replace 14.007 with 14

also if you haven't learned abour gasses aways having index 2 then:

m (N2) = 4,5 mol × 14.007 g/mol = 63.0315g

What is the molecular formula for C5H7 if its molar mass is 536 g/mol?
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

(C5H7)8

Explanation:

It's empirical formula is given as; C5H7

Molar mass of carbon(C) = 12 g/mol

Molar mass of hydrogen(H) = 1 g/mol

We are told that it's molar mass is 536 g/mol.

To find the molecular formula;

Molecular formula = n × empirical formula

Thus;

n = 536/((12 × 5) + (1 × 7))

n = 8

Thus;

Molecular formula = (C5H7)8

How many moles of water, H2O, contain 2.0×1022 molecules of water
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 0.03 moles</h3>

Explanation:

To find the number of moles given the number of entities we use the formula

n =  \frac{N}{L} \\

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities

From the question

N = 2 × 10²² molecules of water

We have

n =  \frac{2 \times  {10}^{22} }{6.02 \times  {10}^{23} }  \\  = 0.033222591...

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.03 moles</h3>

Hope this helps you

Thanks for using Brainly. You’re always welcome to ask questions here.

Genetic engineering would be DNA from another organism and combining it with another DNA. It’s also used by scientists to study these types of things.
