1-There are 18 volcanoes in the US with the potential to erupt again, all of them in Alaska, Hawaii and the West Coast states.

2-Rubies and sapphires are actually the same mineral - corundum. The basic chemical formula of corundum is Al2O3, but traces of iron stain the mineral red (ruby) while traces of chromium or titanium stain the mineral blue (sapphire).

3-Rubies, sapphires and emeralds are all more rare than diamonds.

4-Not all diamonds are transparent. They come in a variety of colors (called "fancies"), including yellow, green, blue, orange, brown ("champagne"), purple, grey, black (called carbanado, recently shown to be meteroic), milky white, pink, and red. Red is by far the rarest.

5-Antacids taste like chalk because they ARE chalk, a.k.a. calcium carbonate.

Hope this helps, Give a thanks ! Haha

Eli states that sodium phosphate is a mixture because it is composed of both sodium ions and phosphate ions.

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer is: c. It is incorrect because sodium phosphate is a compound that has a single composition.

Sodium phosphate is chemical compound composed of atoms connected with chemical bonds.

Pure substance is made of only one type of atom (element) or only one type of molecule (compound), it has definite and constant composition with distinct chemical properties.

Pure substances can be separated chemically, not physically, that is difference between pure substances and mixtures.

A student titrates a 10.00mL sample of an HCl solution, using 0.359 M solution of NaOH. She finds that 24.75mL of sodium hydroxi

salantis [7]

HCl and NaOH react in a 1:1 ratio, meaning that 1 H+ from HCl will react with 1 OH- from NaOH. Knowing this, and that molarity is mol/liter, all we need to do is use what we have available. First we must find the mols of HCl in our solution, so we set up the following equation in the following steps:
1. 24.75mL x (0.359mol NaOH / 1000mL) = 8.885 x 10^-3mol NaOH
This is done in order to find the mols of NaOH to convert to mols of HCl.
2. 8.885x10^-3mol NaOH x (1 mol HCl/1mol NaOH) = 8.885 x 10^-3mol HCl
Here we just used the mols of NaOH we found to convert to mols of HCl using the 1:1 ratio described earlier.

From the mols of HCl all we have to do is divide by the amount of liters in the solution. Since we started with 10mL HCl and added 24.75mL NaOH, the total volume is 34.75mL = 0.03475L. So:
8.885 x 10^-3mol HCl/0.03475L = 2.557 x 10^-1M HCl
However, this is the molarity of the HCl and NaOH solution, not the original HCl solution. Using the dilution equation M1V1=M2V2, we can solve for the original molarity.
M1 = the molarity of our HCl in the titrated mixture (2.557 x 10^-1M HCl)
V1 = the total volume that our mixture has (34.75mL = 0.03475L)
M2 = what we're trying to find
V2 = the amount of the original HCl that we had (10mL = 0.010L)
Simply solving for M2 gives us:
M2 = (M1V1) / V2 or:
M2=((2.557 x 10^-1) x 0.03475L) / 0.010L = 8.89 x 10^-1M HCl. That is your answer.
