What's the easiest way to identify calcite

Chemistry
2 answers:
Darina [25.2K]3 years ago

Although calcite reacts with HCl amazingly, this reaction is mainly used too identify limestone and dolostone in the field. my suggestion would be to use double refraction to identify calcite. By double refraction when light passes through calcite, it is split into two rays and is refracted twice. I would suggest to take a piece of paper and make a point with pencil, then place the calcite mineral on top of the point and see whether the point splits into two or not. If it does then it is calcite.

The best property to identify calcite is the acid test, since this mineral always produces effervescence with acids. It can be used as a criterion to know if the cement of sandstones and conglomerates is calcite.

I disagree. Carbon is not a group 18 element. This is incorrect because elements closer to the top of the group are less reactive than those at the bottom of the group. Group 18 elements are noble gases and carbon, a group 14 element, is a non metal.

How many moles of gas would occupy a 25.0 liter when the temp is 22.0 degrees celsius and the pressure is 646 torr
Luda [366]

Answer:

0.877 mol  

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the<em> Ideal Gas Law </em>to solve this problem.

pV = nRT     Divide both sides by RT

 n = (pV)/(RT)

Data:

p = 646 torr

V = 25.0 L

R = 0.082 06 L·atm·K⁻¹mol⁻¹

T = 22.0 °C

Calculations:

(a) <em>Convert the pressure to atmospheres </em>

p = 646 torr × (1 atm/760 torr) = 0.8500 atm

(b) <em>Convert the temperature to kelvins </em>

T = (22.0 + 273.15) K = 295.15 K

(c) <em>Calculate the number of moles </em>

n = (0.8500 × 25.0)/(0.082 06 × 295.15)

  = 0.877 mol
