What does it mean when a mineral has a definite chemical composition?

Chemistry
1 answer:
mote1985 [20]1 year ago
4 0

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.

<span>30.% Determine the molar mass of NH3 and NO Atomic weight nitrogen = 14.0067 Atomic weight hydrogen = 1.00794 Atomic weight oxygen = 15.999 Molar mass NH3 = 14.0067 + 3 * 1.00794 = 17.03052 g/mol Molar mass NO = 14.0067 + 15.999 = 30.0057 g/mol Moles NH3 = 8.5 / 17.03052 = 0.499103962 mol Moles NO = 4.5 / 30.0057 = 0.149971505 mol Looking at the balanced equation, for every mole of NH3 consumed, you should get one mole of NO. So if we had 100% yield, we should have 0.499103962 moles of NO. But we don't. The percent yield is a simple matter of division by what we did get by what we should get. So 0.149971505 / 0.499103962 = 0.300481497 = 30.0481497% Rounding to 2 significant figures gives 30.% yield.</span>

acetaminophen is a stronger acid than methanol, and sodium methoxide is a stronger base than. write an acid base equilibrium rea
torisob [31]

Answer:

The equilibrium shifts to the right that is the forward reaction.

Explanation:

The chemical compound known as "Acetaminophen" is a chemical compound that is generally known to a layman as Paracetamol and it belongs to the drug class known as anagelsics which helps in the treatment of pain or say in the reduction of pain. Acetaminophen has the chemical Formula to be C8H9NO2, with the Molar mass of 151.163 g/mol and Boiling point of 420 °C.

The reaction between Acetaminophen and sodium methoxide gives methanol and acetaminophen sodium salt. Therefore, the acid base equilibrium reaction of these species is given as;

C8H9NO2 + CH3ONa <========> CH3OH + acetaminophen sodium salt.

The equilibrium shifts to the right that is the forward reaction.

Iodine-131 has a half-life of 8.10 days. In how many days will 50 grams of Iodine-131 decay to one-eighth of its original amount
shtirl [24]
What you need to do is find 1/8 of 50
you can just divide 50 by 8 to get 6.25
so now you have to find how many days it will take till there are 6.25 grams of iodine left
every 8.1 days its mass is split in half 
so start splitting it in half and every time you do, you add 8.1 days
50/2 =25                                               8.1
25/2 =12.5                                        +  8.1
12.5/2= 6.25                                      +8.1
now you have reached 1/8 of the original amount of Iodine-131
so to find how long it took just add 8.1+8.1+8.1
(this is the same as 8.1x3)
which equals 24.3
it will take 24.3 days for Iodine 131 to decay to 1/8  of its original mass.

(good luck on the regent if thats what your studying for :)
