What is the difference between cleavage and fracture

1 answer:

Sergeu [11.5K]3 years ago

6 0

The difference between the two is, cleavage is the property of a mineral that allows it to break smoothly along specific internal planes (called cleavage planes) when the mineral is struck sharply with a hammer. Fracture is the property of a mineral breaking in a more or less random pattern with no smooth planar surfaces.

Hope this helps!!

An unknown amount of mercury (II) oxide was decomposed in the lab. Mercury metal was formed and 5.20 L of oxygen was released at

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

<u>68.3g</u>

Explanation:

<u>1. Word equation:</u>

<em>mercury(II) oxide → mercury + oxygen </em>

<u>2. Balanced molecular equation:</u>

2HgO → 2Hg + O₂(g)

<u>3. Mole ratio</u>

Write the ratio of the coefficients of the substances that are object of the problem:

$2molHgO/1molO_2$

<u>4. Calculate the number of moles of O₂(g)</u>

Use the equation for ideal gases:

$pV=nRT\\\\\\n=\dfrac{pV}{RT}\\\\\\n=\dfrac{0.970atm\times5.20L}{0.08206atm.L/K.mol\times 390.0K}\\\\\\n=0.1576mol$

<u>5. Calculate the number of moles of HgO</u>

$\dfrac{2molHgO}{1molO_2}\times 0.1576molO_2=0.315molHgO$

<u>6. Convert to mass</u>

mass = # moles × molar mass

molar mass of HgO: 216.591g/mol

mass = 0.315mol × 216.591g/mol = 68.3g
