Answer:

It is CaSO4.2H2O

Explanation:

Calcium has a valence of 2 because it has only two valency electrons.

Sulphate ( SO4)^2- is a radical with a valence value of 2.

When Calcium combines with sulphate in bonding,

Formular ==>  Ca2(SO4)2

But the 2 cancel out.

Overall formular==> CaSO4

For hydrated, ==> CaSO4.H2O

Provide three different examples of how minerals can form on earth

Misha Larkins [42]

A mineral is a naturally occurring , solid, crystalline substance with a specific chemical composition. Minerals are usually inorganic and are formed by ionic, covalent or metallic bonding. Ionic bonds are the dominant type of bonds in mineral strictures. 90% of all minerals are ionic compounds. Minerals bonded by covalent bonds are strong, for example carbon bonded together to form diamond. Metallic bonds are a type of covalent bonds where the atoms have a strong tendency to lose electrons and pack together as cations.

Un ácido nítrico tiene una densidad de 10% ,calcular el peso de 1000 centímetros cúbicos

devlian [24]

D = M/V
D = 0.10
V = 1000 cm^3

0.10 = M / 1000
M = 100

Porque la densidad es 10%, se puede usar 0.10 en este formulario para calcular el peso. No sé lo que es la unidad para el peso pero es 100.

1. Define fission and fusion. Give an example of fission and fusion reflecting in real life application.

Alja [10]

Answer :

Nuclear fission : In nuclear reaction, the nucleus of a larger atom breaks into two or more smaller nuclei. In fission process, protons and neutrons are produced and larger amount of energy is released.

Example : In nuclear power plant, the energy released from the process of nuclear fission which is converted into electrical energy that is used in our homes and factories.

Nuclear fusion : In nuclear reaction, the nuclei of two or more smaller atoms combine together to form single larger molecule. In fusion process, the mass of the resulting nuclei is more as compared to the starting nuclei and large amount of energy is also released.

Example : This process occurs in the sun and stars. In this, the isotopes of Hydrogen, Tritium and Deuterium combine together to form a neutron and a helium atom under high pressure and temperature.
