Let us assume that there is a 100g sample of Opal. The masses of each element will be:
29.2g Si
33.3g O
37.5g H2O
Now we divide each constituent's mass by its Mr to get the moles present
Si: (29.2 / 28) = 1.04
O: (33.3 / 16) = 2.08
H2O: (37.5 / 18) = 2.08
Now we divide by the smallest number and obtain:
Si: 1
O: 2
H2O: 2
Thus, the empirical formula of Opal is:
SiO2 . 2H2O
Answer:
Distillation
Explanation:
By using the method of distillation we'll identify if there is other properties of liquid by looking the temperatures,the ordor or the boiling point.
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.
Answer:
Option A. It has stayed the same.
Explanation:
To answer the question given above, we assumed:
Initial volume (V₁) = V
Initial temperature (T₁) = T
Initial pressure (P₁) = P
From the question given above, the following data were:
Final volume (V₂) = 2V
Final temperature (T₂) = 2T
Final pressure (P₂) =?
The final pressure of the gas can be obtained as follow:
P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂
PV/T = P₂ × 2V / 2T
Cross multiply
P₂ × 2V × T = PV × 2T
Divide both side by 2V × T
P₂ = PV × 2T / 2V × T
P₂ = P
Thus, the final pressure is the same as the initial pressure.
Option A gives the correct answer to the question.
