Answer:

Most igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks contain rubidium (Rb) and strontium (Sr) in detectable amounts. However, the concentrations of these elements are almost always less than 1 percent, and they are therefore rarely determined in routine chemical analyses. Neither rubidium nor strontium is a major constituent in the common rock-forming silicate minerals, although strontium does form a carbonate (strontianite) and a sulfate (celestite) which are found in some hydrothermal deposits and certain sedimentary rocks, particularly carbonates.

Why would you need to heat the hydrate up to 250 degrees if water boils at 100 degrees Celsius? Do you think that the boiling po
sergeinik [125]

Explanation:

The pure form of water has a boiling point of 100°C. Boiling point is a physical property of matter and it shows that at such temperature, a liquid substance will change state to vapor.

Pure water is made up of 2 atoms of hydrogen and 1 atom of oxygen. The only intermolecular forces between them is the hydrogen bonds that must be broken for the water to boiling off.

In hydrate, water is present in another form. The water is attached to another compound.

For a pure liquid, the they have reasonably constant boiling point and low boiling range.

Impurities such as the other part of the hydrate causes the elevation of the boiling point and the widening of the boiling range for impure substances.

We are no longer dealing with just hydrogen bonds, other molecular interactions are now involved and they need to be accounted for.
