  • They have a definite and specific chemical composition.
  • Minerals are the building blocks of rocks.
  • When minerals aggregates together, they form different rock types.
  • There is no known mineral that is in fluid state.
  • All minerals are solids.

Andreyy89
The correct classification of the solutes are as follows:

<span>hydroiodic acid hi                           =   strong electrolyte
calcium hydroxide ca(oh)2             =   weak electrolyte 
hydrofluoric acid hf                         =   weak electrolyte
methyl amine ch3nh2                     =   weak electrolyte
sodium bromide nabr                     =   strong electrolyte
propanol c3h7oh                            =   non electrolyte
sucrose c12h22o11                        =   non electrolyte

Strong electrolytes are substances that completely ionizes in aqueous solution while weak electrolytes are those that partially ionizes. Non electrolytes are substances that cannot conduct electric charge since there are no ions in the solution.</span>

How do you explain the relatively high conductivity of tap water compared to a low or zero conductivity for distilled water?
gladu [14]
Tap water contains many dissolved ions that are required to carry an electric current, whilst distilled water contains no or relatively low amounts of dissolved ions. the absence of ions in the distilled water accounts for the low to zero conductivity of the water

hope that helps!
