Answer:

quartz (SiO2)n

Explanation:

Melting point is defined as the temperature or point at which the substances change its state from solid to liquid.

Quartz (SiO2)n has high melting point than O2 because Quartz (SiO2)n is found in the form of hard, crystalline mineral that is made up of silicon and oxygen atoms having strong covalent bonds between all the atoms. So, a lot of energy is required to break the bond between the atoms and it has a high melting point.

Hence, the correct answer is quartz (SiO2)n.

Calculate the following:

Brrunno [24]

Follow these steps to solve the given equation:

Multiply the two decimal figures together and find the sum of the exponents, that is,

(1.5 * 1.89) * 10 ^4+3

(2.835) * 10^7

10^7 can also be written as e.70

'e' stands for exponential.

Therefore, we have 2. 835 e 7.0 = 2.8 e 7.0.

Based on the calculations above, the correct option is A.

A balloon vendor at a street fair is using a tank of helium to fill her balloons. The tank has a volume of 124.0 L and a pressur

amm1812

Answer:

She lost 50.88 moles

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

The volume of the tank = 124.0 L

The initial pressure = 104.0 atm

The temperature = 24.0 °C = 297 K

The pressure drops to 94.0 atm

The temperature stays constant at 297 K

Step 2: Calculate the initial number of moles

p*V = n*R*T

n = (p*V)/(R*T)

⇒with p = the initial pressure = 104.0 atm

⇒with V = the initial volume = 124.0 L

⇒with n = the initial number of moles = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with R = the gas constant = 0.08206 L*atm/mol*K

⇒ with T = the temperature= 297 K

n = (104.0*124.0)/(0.08206*297)

n = 529.14 moles

Step 3: Calculate final number of moles

p*V = n*R*T

n = (p*V)/(R*T)

⇒with p = the initial pressure = 94.0 atm

⇒with V = the initial volume = 124.0 L

⇒with n = the initial number of moles = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with R = the gas constant = 0.08206 L*atm/mol*K

⇒ with T = the temperature= 297 K

n = (94.0*124.0)/(0.08206*297)

n = 478.26 moles

Step 4: Calculate the difference of moles

529.14 moles - 478.26 moles = 50.88 moles

She lost 50.88 moles

Convert 7.1x10^25 molecules of water to moles

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

<h2>117.94 moles</h2>

Explanation:

To find the number of moles in a substance given it's number of entities we use the formula

$n = \frac{N}{L} \\$

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities

From the question we have

$n = \frac{7.1 \times {10}^{25} }{6.02 \times {10}^{23} } \\ = 117.940199...$

We have the final answer as

<h3>117.94 moles</h3>

How many meters are present in the 12.45 miles? Please show your work, and report your answer with the correct number of signifi

MatroZZZ [7]

Explanation:

We know that,

1 mile = 1609.34 m

We need to find how many meters are present in the 12.45 miles. To find it use unitary method as follows :

12.45 mile = 1609.34 × 12.45

12.45 mile=20036.283 meters

$12.45\ mile=2.0036\times 10^4\ m$

Hence, this is the required solution.
