Susanna was hiking in the mountains, and she discovered an interesting, shiny rock. She wondered if this sample was actually a r

ock or if it might be a mineral. As she observed it more closely, she noted that it was solid and naturally occurring, with a definite chemical composition. The sample did not appear to have a crystal structure.
Could Susanna have found a mineral? Explain why or why not.
please help me out

Answer:

Yes it is a mineral

Explanation:

Susanna has found a mineral because the five characteristics of a mineral are naturally occurring solid, crystal structure, forms by inorganic process, and definite chemical composition. Everything that was listed in the question describes the fact that its a mineral.

Brainliest would be appreciated :)

La aspirina se prepara haciendo reaccionar ácido salicílico con exceso de anhídrido etanoico. En un experimento, 50.05 g de ácid

Tanya [424]

La aspirina se prepara haciendo reaccionar ácido salicílico con exceso de anhídrido etanoico. En un experimento, 50.05 g de ácido salicílico se convirtieron en 55.45 g de aspirina. ¿Cuál fue el porcentaje de rendimiento?

<em>In English:</em>

Aspirin is prepared by reacting salicylic acid with excess ethanoic anhydride. In one experiment, 50.05 g of salicylic acid was converted to 55.45 g of aspirin. What was the yield percentage?

Answer:

el rendimiento porcentual para la cantidad dada de ácido salicílico es 84.99 %

<em>In English:</em>

<em>the percent yield for the given amount of salicylic acid is </em><em>84.99%</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

La ecuación química equilibrada para la reacción se puede escribir como:

C₇H₆O₃ + C₄H₆O₃ → C₉H₈O₄ + HC₂H₃O₂

Para la reacción mostrada arriba; El reactivo limitante de la reacción es el ácido salicílico. Ahora; calcular el porcentaje de rendimiento; se espera que primero determinemos el rendimiento teórico de la reacción.

Entonces; la fórmula para calcular el porcentaje de rendimiento: $\mathbf {= \frac{actual \ yield }{theoretical \ yield } *100 }$

El rendimiento teórico se determina de la siguiente manera:

50.05 g * 1 mol / 138.21 g / mol de C₇H₆O₃ * 1 mol de C₉H₈O₄ / 1 mol de C₇H₆O₃ * 180.157 g / mol de C₉H₈O₄ = 65.24 g de C₉H₈O₄

Porcentaje de rendimiento $\mathbf {= \frac{55.45 }{65.24 } *100 }$

Porcentaje de rendimiento = 84.99%

Por lo tanto, el porcentaje de rendimiento para la cantidad dada de ácido salicílico es 84.99%

<em>In English:</em>

<em>The balanced chemical eqaution for the reaction can be written as:</em>

<em>C₇H₆O₃ + C₄H₆O₃ → C₉H₈O₄ + HC₂H₃O₂</em>

<em>For the reaction shown above; The limiting reactant from the reaction is salicylic acid. Now; to calculate the percentage yield ; we are expected to first determine the theoretical yield of the reaction. </em>

<em>So; the formula for calculating the percentage yield </em> $\mathbf {= \frac{actual \ yield }{theoretical \ yield } *100 }$ <em> </em>

<em />

<em>The theoretical yield is determined as follows:</em>

<em>50.05 g * 1 mol/ 138.21 g/mol of C₇H₆O₃ * 1 mol of C₉H₈O₄/ 1 mol of C₇H₆O₃ * 180.157 g/mol of C₉H₈O₄ = 65.24 g of C₉H₈O₄ is produced</em>

<em />

<em>Percentage yield </em> $\mathbf {= \frac{55.45 }{65.24 } *100 }$ <em />

<em>Percentage yield = 84.99%</em>

<em />

<em>Thus, the percent yield for the given amount of salicylic acid is </em><em>84.99%</em>

Malonic acid, h2c3h2o4, is a diprotic acid with ka1= 1.5 x 10-3and ka2= 2.0 x 10-6. what is the concentration of the malonate an

Bess [88]

In a 0.15 m solution of malonic acid, the amount of the malonate anion, c3h2o42-, is $1.68*10^{-4} M$ .

Explanation:

For the first equlibria;

initial concentration of $H_{2}C_{3}H_{2}OH=0.15$

initial concentration of $HC_{3}H_{2}O_{4}^{-} =0$

initial concentration of $H^{+} =0$

Let concentration change of $H_{2}C_{3}H_{2}OH=-x$

Let concentration change of $HC_{3}H_{2}O_{4}^{-} =+x$

Let concentration change of $H^{+} =+x$

Let concentration in equilibrium state of $H_{2}C_{3}H_{2}OH=0.15-x$

Let concentration in equilibrium state of $HC_{3}H_{2}O_{4}^{-} =x$

Let concentration in equilibrium state of $H^{+} =x$

Therefore, $Ka_{1}=\frac{x*x}{0.15-x}=\frac{1.5*10^{-3}}{1} =\frac{x^{2}}{0.15-x}$

$x^{2}+0.0015x-0.000225=0$

Which is a quadratic equation in x, solving it gives;

$x=0.01427$

Therefore, $HC_{3}H_{2}O_{4}^{-} =x= 0.01427M$

Now for the second equlibria;

initial concentration of $HC_{3}H_{2}O_{4}^{-}=0.01427$

initial concentration of $C_{3}H_{2}O_{4}^{2-} =0$

initial concentration of $H^{+} =0$

Let concentration change of $HC_{3}H_{2}O_{4}^{-}=-x$

Let concentration change of $C_{3}H_{2}O_{4}^{2-} =+x$

Let concentration change of $H^{+} =+x$

Let concentration in equilibrium state of $HC_{3}H_{2}O_{4}^{-}=0.01427-x$

Let concentration in equilibrium state of $C_{3}H_{2}O_{4}^{2-} =x$

Let concentration in equilibrium state of $H^{+} =x$

Therefore, $Ka_{2}=\frac{x*x}{0.01427-x}=\frac{2.0*10^{-6}}{1} =\frac{x^{2}}{0.01427-x}$

$2.854*10^{-8}-(2.0*10^{-6})x=x^{2}$

Therefore, $C_{3}H_{2}O_{4}^{2-} =x= 1.68*10^{-4}M$

<h3>What is a malonic acid?</h3>

The chemical formula of malonic acid is CH2(COOH)2. Malonates include the ionized form of malonic acid as well as its esters and salts. For instance, the diethyl ester of malonic acid is called diethyl malonate.

Polyester and polymers both employ malonic acid as a precursor. Both the scent business and the flavoring sector utilize it. It is employed to regulate acidity. Malonic acid contributes to the production of fatty acids in people. Malonic acid has been found in a number of foods outside of the human body, including red beets, corn, scarlet beans, common beets, and cow milks, although its presence has not been defined. The group of organic substances known as dicarboxylic acids and derivatives includes malonic acid, also known as malonate or H2MALO.

If you have 5.2 moles of Na and excess CI2 how many moles of NaCI will be produced 2Na+CI2->2NaCI

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

5.2moles of NaCl

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction is:

2Na + Cl2 —> 2NaCl

From the equation,

2moles of Na produced 2moles of NaCl.

Therefore, 5.2moles of Na will also produce 5.2moles of NaCl
