Answer:
D. Streak.
Explanation:
A mineral, in simple terms, can be defined as a solid inorganic substance that occurs in a pure form with a specific crystal structure. A mineral is identified based on its physical properties which include luster, color, streak, crystal shape, etc.
The color of the powdered form of a mineral is called a streak. A streak is a useful property in distinguishing sulfide and oxide minerals. To check the color of a mineral, it is rubbed against the surface of a ceramic streak plate or a piece of unglazed ceramic. In its finely powdered form, a mineral is easy to identify.
Therefore, option D is correct.

Answer:
Ca(OH)2 will not precipitate because Q<Ksp
Explanation:
Ksp for Ca(OH)2 has already been stated in the question as 8.0 x 10-8mol2dm-6
The value of the reaction quotient depends heavily on the concentration of the reactants. As the initial concentration of the calcium carbide decreases considerably, the reaction quotient decreases until Q<Ksp hence the Ca(OH)2 will not precipitate from solution.
The reaction equation is:
CaC₂(s) + H₂O ⇒ Ca(OH)₂ + C₂H₂
From
Ca(OH)2= Ca2+ + 2OH-
Concentration of solution= 0.064×1/64= 1×10-3
Since [Ca2+] = 1×10-3
[OH-]= (2×10-3)^2= 4×10^-6
Hence Q= 4×10^-9
This is less than the Ksp hence the answer.
