What is the difference between cleavage and fracture

Chemistry
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!!

Entalpy of vaporization of water is 41.1k/mol. if the vapor pressure of water at 373k is 101.3 kpa, what is the vapor pressure o
allsm [11]

Answer: The vapor pressure of water at 298 K is 3.565kPa.

Explanation:

The vapor pressure is determined by Clausius Clapeyron equation:

ln(\frac{P_2}{P_1})=\frac{\Delta H_{vap}}{R}(\frac{1}{T_1}-\frac{1}{T_2})

where,

P_1 = initial pressure at 298 K = ?

P_2 = final pressure at 373 K = 101.3 kPa

\Delta H_{vap} = enthalpy of vaporisation = 41.1 kJ/mol = 41100 J/mol

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mole.K

T_1 = initial temperature = 298 K

T_2 = final temperature = 373 K

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

\log (\frac{101.3}{P_1})=\frac{41100}{2.303\times 8.314J/mole.K}[\frac{1}{298K}-\frac{1}{373K}]

\frac{101.3}{P_1}=antilog(1.448)

P_1=3.565kPa

Therefore, the vapor pressure of water at 298 K is 3.565kPa.

What is the minimum frequency of light required to observe the photoelectric effect on pd
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

1.26 × 10¹⁵ s⁻¹

Explanation:

Work function is the minimum energy required to remove an electron from the surface of metal

energy of the electron = hf - Φ

Φ = work function = hf₀ where f₀  = threshold frequency

f₀ = Φ / h  where h ( Planck constant = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ Js)

Φ = 5.22eV = 5.22 × 1 eV  where 1 eV = 1.60217662 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

Φ = 5.22 × 1.60217662 × 10⁻19 J = 8.363362 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

f₀ =  (8.363362 ×10⁻¹⁹  J) / (6.626× 10⁻³⁴ Js) = 1.26 × 10¹⁵ s⁻¹

The frequency must be greater than the 1.26 × 10¹⁵ s⁻¹ to observe the emission
