Answer:
For a substance to classify as a mineral, it must lie within certain parameters. It should be an inorganic solid, that is naturally occurring in nature (not synthesized), with an ordered internal structure and a definite chemical composition.
By definite chemical composition, geologists mean that the mineral must be have chemical constituents that have an unvarying chemical composition, or a chemical composition that oscillates withing a very limited and specific range.
An example is the mineral, halite. It has a chemical composition of one sodium atom and one chloride atom, represented as NaCl and is unchanging in this composition throughout nature.

Answer:
A voltaic cell
Explanation:
A voltaic cell is a device which converts chemical energy to electrical energy. The chemical reactions that take place inside the cell causes electrons to flow from anode to cathode hence, electricity is produced. A simple voltaic cell is made by placing two different metals in contact with an electrolyte separated by a salt bridge. The cathode is the negative electrode while the anode is the positive electrode. It is also called a galvanic cell.
In a voltaic cell having a copper/copper solution half cell, reduction occurs at the cathode. Hence, at the cathode copper II ions accept two electrons and become reduced to ordinary metallic copper. This causes the blue colour of the solution to become discharged (fade) as the cell continues to function.
Answer:
9
Explanation:
The structure of fluorophore used in the experiments has been drawn in the attachment. And from the drawing counting we can say that there are 9 sp2-hybridized carbon atoms present. Fiuorophores are a fluorescent chemical compound that can re-emit light upon light excitation. Normally used to produce absorbance and emission spectra.
Explanation:
The observation of student was that thermometer reading changed from 27°C to 35°C which indicates that temperature of the beaker solution rose after reaction due to release of heat during reaction as a product.
Those chemical reactions which gives heat energy as a product into their surrounding are categorized as exothermic reactions. During the course of these reaction temperature of the surroundings also increased.
So, this means that reaction between silver nitrate and copper wire is an exothermic reaction.
Three ways that the student could speed up the reaction :
- By adding catalyst to the reaction.
- By decreasing the temperature.
- By increasing the concentration of silver nitarte solution.
