Name the mineral group for each of the following minerals: Group of answer choices Kyanite (Al2SiO5) Ilmenite (FeTiO3) Rhodochro

Ainat [17]

Answer:

Kyanite (Al2SiO5) - silicate

Ilmenite (FeTiO3) - Oxides

Rhodochrosite (MnCO3) - carbonate

Celestite (SrSO4) - sulphate

Chalcocite (Cu2S) - sulphide

Explanation:

Minerals are classified according to their chemical composition. For example those that hve the CO32- ion are called carbonates and those with the SO42- ion are called sulphates while the ones with S2- ion are called sulphides

Write a structural formula for 1-pentanol, the alcohol derived from pentane, by making a substitution on one of the carbon atoms

DedPeter [7]

To yield an alcohol from an alkane, one reaction could be from alkyl halide through hydrolysis reaction. The alkyl halide should be pentyl chloride. When you add water to it, the OH⁻ ion will replace Cl to make 1-pentanol, while the Cl⁻ ion binds with H⁺ to form HCl. The main product is pentanol, while the by-product is HCl.

How do the differences in the polyatomic ions po3 3- and po4 3- help you determine whether each ends in -ite or -ate?

Tcecarenko [31]

There is a rule in naming polyatomic anions containing oxygen. Those names ending in –ate are given to the most common oxyanion of an element. While those names ending in –ite are for those that contains fewer O atom for the same charge. Since P $PO_{3} ^{3-}$ has fewer O atoms, its name ends in –ite. Thus, P $PO_{3} ^{3-}$ is phosphite while P $PO_{4} ^{3-}$ is phosphate.
