Let us assume that there is a 100g sample of Opal. The masses of each element will be:
29.2g Si
33.3g O
37.5g H2O
Now we divide each constituent's mass by its Mr to get the moles present
Si: (29.2 / 28) = 1.04
O: (33.3 / 16) = 2.08
H2O: (37.5 / 18) = 2.08
Now we divide by the smallest number and obtain:
Si: 1
O: 2
H2O: 2
Thus, the empirical formula of Opal is:
SiO2 . 2H2O
Explanation:
4 x 6.02 x 10²³ = 2.41 x 10²⁴
What are organic and inorganic compounds? Organic chemistry is the study of the carbon compounding molecules. Inorganic chemistry, by contrast, is the study of all compounds that do NOT contain carbon compounds.
Partial pressure=mole fraction×Pt
x=0.044÷44(maolarmass of CO2)×Pt
x=0.044÷(44)2×Pt
x=5×10^-4×Pt
x=5×10^-4×Pt
where Pt:1atm=760mmHg
xatm=750mmHg
750×1÷760=0.99
now;5×10^-4×099=4.95×10^-4.
Pt=4.95×10^-4
The magnetic quality of ancient rocks is called paleomagnetism. It <span>is the study of the record of the Earth's magnetic field in rocks, sediment, or archeological materials. Certain minerals in rocks lock-in a record of the direction and intensity of the magnetic field when they form.</span>
