Answer: Mineral A changed because Molecular energy transferred is equal or greater than than its Activation energy

Mineral B didn't change because Molecular energy transferred is less than its Activation energy.

Explanation:

The molecules of Mineral A has been disturbed by the addition of energy causing a change and the entropy is increased. The Molecules of Mineral B has not been disturbed because the residual energy has not been overcome and therefore yielding no visible change

A salt lover decided to flavor her meal by adding 2.50 moles of sodium chloride,

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer: C, 146

Explanation:

NaCl has a molar mass of 58.44 g/mol.

To change moles to g, we do:

2.50 moles × 58.44 g/mol = 146.1 g, so C

Explain how the Law of Conservation of Mass is demonstrated In photosynthesis and cellular Respiration chemical equations. (Less

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, In a chemical reaction, mass is neither created nor destroyed. In other words, the total mass for the reactants needs to equal the total mass of the products.
In photosynthesis the reactants are 6 carbon dioxide, 6 water and sunlight. The mass of these reactants adds to equal the mass of the products, which are 1 glucose and 6 oxygen.
Cellular respiration on the other hand uses glucose and oxygen gas to produce water, carbon dioxide, and a usable form of energy known as ATP.
Cellular respiration is the opposite of photosynthesis, such that the products of photosynthesis are the reactants of cellular respiration. Cellular respiration also obeys the law of conservation of mass.

Will fluorine form an anion or a cation? Why?

Serggg [28]

Fluorine will always form an anion. That is because at its basic form, it is electronegative, which means that it attracts electrons who give it a negative charge. This is why it will form an anion.

What heavier element is created when hydrogen atoms fuse together in the sun’s core?

sergey [27]

Answer:

Helium is created from hydrogen in the sun's core.

Four hydrogen-1 nuclei fuse to produce

one helium-4 nucleus, two neutrons,
two positrons, and
two electron neutrinos.

Explanation:

Step One:

${\rm ^1_1 H + ^1_1 H\to ^2_1 H + e^{+}} + v_e$ .

Two hydrogen-1 nuclei fuse. One proton will convert to a neutron. The products will be

one hydrogen-2 nucleus,
one positron, and
one electron neutrino.

Step Two:

$\rm ^1_1 H +^2_1 H \to ^3_2 He$ .

There are plenty of hydrogen-1 nuclei available in the core of the sun. The hydrogen-2 nucleus from step one will fuse with a hydrogen-1 nucleus. The product is

one helium-3 nucleus.

Step Three

$\rm ^3_2 He + ^3_2 He \to ^4_2 He + ^1_1 H + ^1_1 H$ .

Two helium-3 nuclei from step two react with each other. The products are:

one helium-4 nucleus, and
two hydrogen-1 nuclei.

The overall reaction will be:

${\rm 6\; ^1_1 H \to ^4_2 He + 2\; ^1_1 H+2\; e^{+}}+v_\text{e}$ .

${\rm 4\; ^1_1 H \to ^4_2 He + 2\; e^{+}} + v_\text{e}$

In other words, hydrogen nuclei in the core of the sun fuse together to form helium.
