Susanna was hiking in the mountains, and she discovered an interesting, shiny rock. She wondered if this sample was actually a r

ock or if it might be a mineral. As she observed it more closely, she noted that it was solid and naturally occurring, with a definite chemical composition. The sample did not appear to have a crystal structure.
Could Susanna have found a mineral? Explain why or why not.
please help me out

Answer:

Yes it is a mineral

Explanation:

Susanna has found a mineral because the five characteristics of a mineral are naturally occurring solid, crystal structure, forms by inorganic process, and definite chemical composition. Everything that was listed in the question describes the fact that its a mineral.

Brainliest would be appreciated :)

Copper(II) sulfide, CuS, is used in the development of aniline black dye in textile printing. What is the maximum mass of CuS wh
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

1.82 g   is the maximum mass of CuS.

Explanation:

Considering:

Molarity=\frac{Moles\ of\ solute}{Volume\ of\ the\ solution}

Or,

Moles =Molarity \times {Volume\ of\ the\ solution}

Given :

<u>For CuCl_2 : </u>

Molarity = 0.500 M

Volume = 38.0 mL

The conversion of mL to L is shown below:

1 mL = 10⁻³ L

Thus, volume = 38.0×10⁻³ L

Thus, moles of CuCl_2 :

Moles=0.500 \times {38.0\times 10^{-3}}\ moles

<u>Moles of CuCl_2  = 0.019 moles </u>

<u>For (NH_4)_2S : </u>

Molarity = 0.600 M

Volume = 42.0 mL

The conversion of mL to L is shown below:

1 mL = 10⁻³ L

Thus, volume = 42.0×10⁻³ L

Thus, moles of (NH_4)_2S :

Moles=0.600 \times {42.0\times 10^{-3}}\ moles

<u>Moles of (NH_4)_2S  = 0.0252 moles </u>

According to the given reaction:

CuCl_2_{(aq)}+(NH_4)_2S_{(aq)}\rightarrow CuS_{(s)}+2NH_4Cl_{(aq)}

1 mole of CuCl_2 reacts with 1 mole of (NH_4)_2S

So,  

0.019 mole of CuCl_2 reacts with 0.019 mole of (NH_4)_2S

Moles of (NH_4)_2S = 0.019 mole

Available moles of (NH_4)_2S = 0.0252 mole

<u>Limiting reagent is the one which is present in small amount. Thus, CuCl_2 is limiting reagent.</u>

The formation of the product is governed by the limiting reagent. So,

1 mole of CuCl_2 gives 1 mole of CuS

0.019 mole of CuCl_2 gives 0.019 mole of CuS

Moles of CuS formed = 0.019 moles

Molar mass of CuS = 95.611 g/mol

Mass of CuS = Moles × Molar mass = 0.019 × 95.611 g = 1.82 g

<u>1.82 g   is the maximum mass of CuS.</u>

Exactly 500 grams of ice are melted at a temperature of 32°f. (lice = 333 j/g.) calculate the change in entropy (in j/k). (give
denpristay [2]
Entropy Change is calculated  by (Energy transferred) / (Temperature in kelvin) 
deltaS = Q / T 

Q = (mass)(latent heat of fusion) 
Q = m(hfusion) 
Q = (500g)(333J/g) = 166,500J 

T(K) = 32 + 273.15 = 305.15K 
deltaS = 166,500J / 305.15K 
deltaS = 545.63 J/K

What is the concentration of x2??? in a 0.150 m solution of the diprotic acid h2x? for h2x, ka1=4.5??10???6 and ka2=1.2??10???11
lutik1710 [3]
The first dissociation for H2X:
                        H2X +H2O ↔ HX + H3O
initial                0.15                     0      0
change             -X                     +X      +X
at equlibrium 0.15-X                  X        X
because Ka1 is small we can assume neglect x in H2X concentration
     Ka1      = [HX][H3O]/[H2X]
4.5x10^-6 =( X )(X) / (0.15)
X = √(4.5x10^-6*0.15) 
∴X = 8.2 x 10-4 m
∴[HX] & [H3O] = 8.2x10^-4
the second dissociation of H2X
        HX + H2O↔ X^2 + H3O
    8.2x10^-4          Y         8.2x10^-4
Ka2 for Hx = 1.2x10^-11
Ka2       = [X2][H3O]/[HX]
1.2x10^-11= y (8.2x10^-4)*(8.2x10^-4)
∴y = 1.78x10^-5
∴[X^2] = 1.78x10^-5 m

A large flask is evacuated and weighed, filled with argon gas, and then reweighed. When reweighed, the flask is found to have ga
Elden [556K]

Answer:

100.52

Explanation:

from the ideal gas equation PV=nRT

for a given container filled with any ideal gas P and V remains constant.So T is also constant.R is as such a constant.

So n i.e no of moles will also be constant.

no of moles of Ar=3.224/40=0.0806

no of moles of unknown gas=0.0806

molecular wt of unknown gas=8.102/0.0806=100.52

Standard Hydrogen Electrode consists of platinum wire fused in a glass tube and a platinum plate coated with finely divided plat
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

To increase surface area of the platinum electrode which results in superior quality and action of the electrodes as opposed to normal platinum electrodes.

Explanation:

Platinization of Platinum is the process of covering platinum electrode with a layer of platinum black. Platinum black is a finally divided form of platinum, optimized for catalysing the addition of hydrogen to unsaturated organic compound. This increases the surface area of the platinum electrodes and therefore exhibits action superior to that of normal electrodes.
