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

Chemistry

mote1985 [20]2 years ago

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.

Shkiper50 [21]
The combustion of any hydrocarbon yields water and carbon dioxide. We will now construct a balanced equation:

C₃H₈ + 5O₂ → 3CO₂ + 4H₂O

Each mole of propane requires 5 moles of oxygen.

crimeas [40]
1. What do they have in common?

As mentioned in the problem, these gases are present in equal amounts. So, that would infer that they are common in terms of their mass. Also, it is specified that the temperature is 25°C. Connected to that is the average kinetic energy, which is directly proportional. Hence, they are also common in temperature and average kinetic energy.

2. What are the differences?

They differ in type, of course. Also, they differ in average velocities which is a factor of temperature of molar mass. Since they are 3 different types of gases with different molar masses, they would also differ in their average velocities.

Air in a 0.3 m3 cylinder is initially at a pressure of 10 bar and a temperature of 330K. The cylinder is to be emptied by openin
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

(a) Temperature = 330 K, and mass = 0.321 kg

(b) T₂ = 171.56 K, mass = 0.32223 kg

Explanation:

For a constant temperature process we have

p₁v₁ = p₂v₂

Where p₁ = initial pressure = 10 bar = 1000000 Pa

p₂ = final pressure = 1 atm = 101325 Pa

v₁ initial volume = 0.3 m³

v₂ = final volume = unknown

From the relation we have v₂ = 2.96 m³

Therefore at constant temperature 2.93 m³ - 0.3 m³ or 2.66 m³ will be expelled from the container

Temperature = 330 K, and mass =

Also from the relation p1v1 = mRT1

We have, (1000000×0.3)/(8314×330) = 109..337 mole

For air mass

Mass = 3.171 kg

After opening we have

p2v2/(RT1) = n2 = 11.07 mol or 0.321 kg

or

(b) This is said to be adiabatic condition hence

Here

But cp = 29 (J/mol K).

and p₁v₁ = RT₁ therefore R = 1000000*0.3/330 = 909.1 J/mol·K

And For perfect gas γ = 1.4

Hence T₂ = 171.56 K

γ =cp/cv therefore cv=cp/γ = 29/1.4 = 20.714 (J/mol K). and R =cp-cv = 8.29 J/mol·K

Therefore p1v1/(RT1) = 109.66 moles and we have

p2v2/(R×T2) = 11.11 mole left

For air that is 0.32223 kg

If 200mL of 0.60 M MgCl2 (aq) is added to 400mL of distilled water, what is the concentration of Mg2+(aq) in the resulting solut
lara [203]

Answer:

A.0.20M

Explanation:

c 1 V 1 = c 2 V 2

Initial Volume, V1 = 200 mL

Final Volume, V2 = 200 + 400 = 600 mL

Initial Concentration, c1 = 0.60 M

Final Concentration, c2= ?

Solving for c2;

c2 = c1v1 / v2

c2 = 0.60 * 200 / 600

c2 = 0.20M
