What does it mean when a mineral has a definite chemical composition?
mote1985 [20]

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.

5.00 g of hydrogen gas and 50.0g of oxygen gas are introduced into an otherwise empty 9.00L steel cylinder, and the hydrogen is
GenaCL600 [577]
1) Balanced chemical reaction:

2H2 + O2 -> 2H20

Sotoichiometry: 2 moles H2: 1 mol O2 : 2 moles H2O

2) Reactant quantities converted to moles

H2: 5.00 g / 2 g/mol = 2.5 mol

O2: 50.0 g / 32 g/mol = 1.5625 mol

Limitant reactant: H2 (because as per the stoichiometry it will be consumed with 1.25 mol of O2).

3) Products

H2 totally consumed -> 0 mol at the end

O2 = 1.25 mol consumed -> 1.5625 mol - 1.25 mol = 0.3125 mol at the end

H2O: 2.5 mol H2 produces 2.5 mol H2O -> 2.5 mol at the end.

Total number of moles: 0.3125mol + 2.5 mol = 2.8125 mol

4) Pressure

Use pV = nRT
n = 2.8125
V= 9 liters
R = 0.082 atm*lit/K*mol
T = 35 C + 273.15 = 308.15K

p = nRT/V  = 7.9 atm

The gas in a sealed container has an absolute pressure of 125.4 kilopascals. If the air around the container is at a pressure of
AlexFokin [52]

Answer: C. 25.6 kPa

Explanation:

The Gauge pressure is defined as the amount of pressure in a fluid that exceeds the amount of pressure in the atmosphere.

As such, the formula will be,

PG = PT – PA

Where,

PG is Gauge Pressure

PT is Absolute Pressure

PA is Atmospheric Pressure

Inputted in the formula,

PG = 125.4 - 99.8

PG = 25.6 kPa

The gauge pressure inside the container is 25.6kPa which is option C.

An ice cube is dropped into a glass of milk at 20°C. Which statement explains the transfer of kinetic energy (KE)?
hoa [83]

Answer:

Because milk has higher KE than ice, KE is transferred from the milk to the molecules of ice.

Explanation:

The best statement that expresses the transfer of kinetic energy(K.E) is that kinetic energy is transferred from the milk to the ice.

Kinetic energy is form of energy due to motion of the particles of a medium. In this regard, we are dealing with heat energy.

  • Heat energy is dissipated from a body at higher temperature to one at a lower temperature.
  • Ice is at a lower temperature which is 0°C
  • Heat will be transferred in form of thermal energy from the body at higher temperature to one with a lower temperature.
  • This is from the milk to the molecules of ice.
