The definition of a gem is "a precious stone, cut and polished for jewelry. They are all minerals. Some highly desirable gemstones may not be suitable for jewelry, yet be very collectible, like sphene. Others, like those in the corundum family, are prized for color and hardness, like emeralds and diamonds. Further, some common minerals, when polished, make beautiful pieces. With all that said, i woukd go with rarer.

How many liters of Cl2 gas will you have if you are using 63 g of Na?
ELEN [110]

Answer:

You will have 19.9L of Cl2

Explanation:

We can solve this question using:

PV = nRT; V = nRT/P

<em>Where V is the volume of the gas</em>

<em>n the moles of Cl2</em>

<em>R is gas constant = 0.082atmL/molK</em>

<em>T is 273.15K assuming STP conditions</em>

<em>P is 1atm at STP</em>

The moles of 63g of Cl2 gas are -molar mass: 70.906g/mol:

63g * (1mol / 70.906g) = 0.8885 moles

Replacing:

V = 0.8885mol*0.082atmL/molK*273.15K/1atm

V = You will have 19.9L of Cl2

maksim [4K]
Answer:
            Oxalic Acid is and Arrhenius Acid.

Explanation:
                   According to Arrhenius Theory of acid and base, "Acid is any substance which when dissolved in water produces H⁺ Ions".

Therefore, Oxalic Acid is a diprotic substance, which is capable of donating protons in water. This acidity of oxalic acid can be dedicated to the stability of conjugate base, this stability comes from resonance of the negative charges on Oxalate ion. Below reaction shows the dissociation of Oxalic Acid into Protons and Oxalate Ion.
