<h3>Answer:</h3>

                  Gypsum

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

                   The hardness of minerals or substances is measured qualitatively using Mohs Scale. In this scale the hardness is measured qualitatively by characterizing the resistance shown by one substance when rubbed against second substance. Therefore, greater points are given to those substances which are capable of making scratches on other substances. The Mohs Scale of given compounds is as follow,

                                     Diamond        <em>  10</em>

                                     Fluorite          <em>  4</em>

                                      Topaz                <em>8</em>

                                      Gypsum            <em>1.5 to 2</em>

While the hardness value of Fingernail is <em>2 to 2.5</em>. Hence, this value is close to Mohs scale hardness value of Gypsum therefore, gypsum is the correct answer.

Why do we sometimes use roman numerals in naming ionic compounds?
Blababa [14]
Roman numerals are used in naming ionic compounds when the metal cation forms more than one ion. The metals that form more than one ion are the transition metals, although not all of them do this.

How many mL of a 1.48 M calcium hydroxide solution are needed to neutralize 36.0 mL of a 1.63 M hydrochloric acid solution
Lelechka [254]

The volume (in mL) of calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)₂ needed for the reaction is 19.8 mL

<h3>Balanced equation </h3>

2HCl + Ca(OH)₂ —> CaCl₂ + 2H₂O

From the balanced equation above,

  • The mole ratio of the acid, HCl (nA) = 2
  • The mole ratio of the base, Ca(OH)₂ (nB) = 1

<h3>How to determine the volume of Ca(OH)₂ </h3>
  • Molarity of base, Ca(OH)₂ (Mb) = 1.48 M
  • Volume of acid, HCl (Va) = 36 mL
  • Molarity of acid, HCl (Ma) = 1.63 M
  • Volume of base, Ca(OH)₂ (Vb) =?

MaVa / MbVb = nA / nB

(1.63 × 36) / (1.48 × Vb) = 2

58.68 / (1.48 × Vb) = 2

Cross multiply

2 × 1.48 × Vb = 58.68

2.96 × Vb = 58.68

Divide both side by 2.96

Vb = 58.68 / 2.96

Vb = 19.8 mL

Which statement is true for one molecule of sulfur trioxide?A.(There are three atoms of sulfur and one atom of oxygen.B.(There a
ki77a [65]
The answer would be D. This is because sulfur is on it's own, meaning one. while tri is a prefix for three so there are three oxygen atoms.
