5 0

Answer:

Physical properties are controlled by the mineral's chemical composition and atomic structure, this combination is distinct in each mineral.

Explanation:

Hello,

Since the physical properties depend on the mineral's chemical composition and the atomic structure (molecular arrangement), we can distinguish different minerals by measuring out hardness, cleavage and other properties in order to analyze their behavior under several conditions and subsequently  use them in a particular application.

Best regards.

A gas occupies a volume of 30.0L, a temperature of 25°C and a pressure of 0.600atm. What will be the volume of the gas at STP?​
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

=16.49 L

Explanation:

Using the equation

P1= 0.6atm V1= 30L, T1= 25+273= 298K, P2= 1atm, V2=? T2= 273

P1V1/T1= P2V2/T2

0.6×30/298= 1×V2/273

V2=16.49L

How many σ and π bonds are present in a molecule of cumulene?
dimaraw [331]

A hydrocarbon with three or more consecutive (cumulative) double bonds is known as a cumulene. They are analogous to allenes, only exhibiting a more elongated chain. The basic molecule in this category is butatriene, which is also simply known as cumulene.  

In the structure of a cumulene, there are 3 double bonds and 4 single bonds. The double bond comprises 1 sigma bond, and 1 pi bond and 4 hydrogen bond produces a sigma bond with carbon. Thus, the molecule of cumulene comprises 7 sigma bonds and 3 pi bonds.
