Answer:
The corect answer is c) naturally occurring; solids
Explanation:
Minerals exists as solid substances in nature consisting of one or more element chemically combined together formiming compounds with definite composition. As mentioned earlier single elements can form minerals and examples of single element mineral are Silver, Carbon and Gold which are found in nature in their pure form and are mined.
Minerals are normally found in rocks, which may contain one ore more different types of minerals
Answer:
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, the molar enthalpy of reaction is obtained by dividing the involved energy by the reacting moles:
Thus, it is important to notice that the compound "uses" the energy, it means that it absorbs the energy, for that reason the sign is positive. Moreover, computing the result in kJ/mol we finally obtain:
Best regards.
Answer:
an increase in 1-butene was observed when t-butoxide was used
Explanation:
When a base reacts with an alkyl halide, an elimination product is formed. This reaction is an E2 reaction.
Here we are to compare the reaction of two different bases with one substrate; 2-bromobutane. Both reactions occur by the E2 mechanism but follow different transition states due to the size of the base.
The Saytzeff product, 2-butene, is obtained when the methoxide is used while the non Saytzeff product, 1-butene, is obtained when t-butoxide is used.
The Saytzeff rule is reliable in predicting the major products of simple elimination reactions of alkyl halides given the fact that a small/strong bases is used for the elimination reaction. Therefore hydroxide, methoxide and ethoxide bases give similar results for the same alkyl halide substrate. Bulky bases such as tert-butoxide tend to yield a higher percentage of the non Saytzeff product and this is usually attributed to steric hindrance.
Answer:
Gas X
Explanation:
The given reaction can be written in the form of chemical equation as shown below as:
According to law of conservation of mass, the moles of each substance in the reaction must be equal on both reactant and product side.
Also, the question asks for the gas which is diatomic. 
cannot be diatomic as the formula contains 3 atoms.
Between gas X and gas Y , <u>X has to be diatomic for the reaction to balance </u>as:
Mercury is a homogenous mixture of two or more pure substances
