Two stones resembling diamonds are suspected of being fakes. To determine if the stones might be real, the mass and volume of ea

ch are measured. Both stones have the same volume, 0.15 cm^3. However, stone A has a mass of 0.52 g, and stone B has a mass of 0.42 g.
A) If diamond has a density of 3.5 g/cm^3, could either of the stones be real diamonds? Explain.

Answer:

Stone A

Explanation:

Measuring density is an easiest way to determine if two similar looking substances are same or not. Here also we need to perform the density test for each stone that is suspected to be fake diamond. We will calculate the density of each stone and compare it with the density of original diamond.

Density is calculated using the formula

Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}

It has been given in the question that both the substances have same volume of 0.15 cm^3.

Density of stone A = \frac{0.52}{0.15} = 3.47 gcm^-^3 or after rounding off we get 3.5 gcm^-^3

Density of stone B = \frac{0.42}{0.15} = 2.8 gcm^-^3

It is clear from the above calculation that the stone A has same density as the diamond but stone B lacks behind in density.

So, stone A could be the real diamond.

Which statement is always true about a reversible chemical reaction?
Alecsey [184]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Option (B):

The products can form reactants, and the reactants can form products.

<h3>Explanation:</h3><h3>Reversible reaction</h3>

A reversible reaction is a reaction where the reactants form products, which react together to give the reactants back.

aA + bB ⇄ cC + dD

A and B can react to form C and D or, in the reverse reaction, C and D can react to form A and B.

Other options are wrong because off:

(A) Concentration changes with time equilibrium concentration and higher product concentration is also possible.

(C) They may be constant.

(D) Concentration changes with time equilibrium concentration and higher reactant concentration is also possible.

Which two layers are part of the thermosphere?
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

exosphere and ionosphere.

Explanation:

very high up,the earth's atmosphere becomes very thin. the region where atoms and moleculesescape into space is referred to as the exosphere. exosphere is on top of the thermosphere.

scientists what is called the ionospherean extension of the thermosphere. so technically, ionosphere is not another atmospheric layer.
