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.

Answer:

80g=0.08kg

20cm=0.02m

density=m/v

= 0.08/0.02

=4kg/m^3

it is less than density of water so it floats

the balloon is inflated outdoors on a cold day in North Dakota at a temperature of -35°C to a volume of 3.0 L. The pressure rema
iragen [17]

3.75 litres is the volume of the balloon indoors at a temperature of 25°C.

Explanation:

Data given:

initial temperature of the gas in balloon  = -35°C or 238.15 K

initial volume = 3 litres

final temperature = 25 °C  or 298.15 K

final volume =?

pressure remains constant

From the data given when pressure is constant Charles' law is applied.

\frac{V1}{T1} = \frac{V2}{T2}

Rearranging the equation to know the final volume of the gas in balloon

V2 = \frac{V1T2}{T1}

V2 = \frac{3 X 298.15}{238.15}

V2 = 3.75 Litres

when the temperature of a gas is increased and pressure remains constant the volume of the gas increases.

A 25.888 g sample of aqueous waste leaving a fertilizer manufacturer contains ammonia. The sample is diluted with 73.464 g of wa
brilliants [131]

Answer:

Weight % of NH₃ in the aqueous waste  = 2.001 %

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the reaction

\\\\NH_3} + HCl -----> NH_4Cl

Moles of HCl = Molarity × Volume

= 0.1039 × 31.89 mL × \frac{1 \  L}{1000 \ mL}

= 0.0033 mole

Total mass of original sample = 25.888 g + 73.464 g

= 99.352 g

Total HCl taken for assay = \frac{10.762 \ g}{99.352 \ g}

= 0.1083 g

Moles of NH₃ = \frac{0.0033 \  mol}{0.1083}

= 0.03047 moles

Mass of NH₃ = number of  moles × molar mass

Mass of NH₃ = 0.03047 moles × 17 g

Mass of NH₃  = 0.51799

Weight % of NH₃  = \frac{0.51799 \ g}{25.888 \ g} * 100%%

Weight % of NH₃ in the aqueous waste  = 2.001 %
