Copper pyrites, also known as chalcopyrite, is the most important and abundant ore of copper. Its chemical formula is CuFeS2. Bauxite is the ore of aluminum, cinnabar is the ore of mercury, and haematite is the primary ore of iron.
Explanation:
Plaster of Paris (CaSO₄·½H₂O) reacts with water to form gypsum (CaSO₄·2H₂O) which sets into a hard solid mass with slight expansion. Reaction: CaSO₄·½H₂O + 1½H₂O → CaSO₄·2H₂O. This property is used for casting and setting broken bones.
Explanation:
Ozone (O₃) has a coordinate bond (dative bond). One oxygen atom donates a lone pair to another oxygen atom. The Lewis structure shows O=O⁺–O⁻ or resonance. NaCl is ionic; H₂O has polar covalent bonds; NH₃ has ordinary covalent bonds (though it can donate a lone pair to form coordinate bond in NH₄⁺).
Explanation:
The Haber process synthesizes ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen (N₂ + 3H₂ ⇌ 2NH₃). Finely divided iron acts as the catalyst, often with molybdenum as a promoter, to increase the rate of reaction at high pressure and moderate temperature. V₂O₅ is used in the Contact process.
