How does the structure of a mineral affect its properties?

Purely for crystalline structure, "twinning" or repetition of crystal forms can bring about a striated texture on the mineral. Crystal defects and chemical impurities can alter the physical and electrical properties of a mineral. Some minerals can exist in different crystal forms and exhibit "polymorphism." The range in crystal structure can change the mineral's hardness, strength, solubility, electrical properties, melting points, etc.

If heat energy is continually being added from the hotplate why doesn't the temperature of the water increase at a steady rate?
Dovator [93]

Hello! Allow me to help!

Your question: If heat energy is continually being added from the hotplate why doesn't the temperature of the water increase at a steady rate?

My answer: Because at boiling point liquid getting converted into gaseous state, and now all given temperature is utilized in conversion of liquid to gaseous state, so no change in temperature occurs.

Why is my answer correct? Good question! Allow me to explain: Because adding heat energy usually results in a temperature rise, people often confuse heat and temperature. In common speech, the two terms mean the same: "I will heat it" means you will add heat; "I will warm it up" means you will increase the temperature. No one usually bothers to distinguish between these. Adding heat, however, does not always increase the temperature. For instance, when water is boiling, adding heat does not increase its temperature. This happens at the boiling temperature of every substance that can vaporize. At the boiling temperature, adding heat energy converts the liquid into a gas WITHOUT RAISING THE TEMPERATURE. Adding heat to a boiling liquid is an important exception to general rule that more heat makes a higher temperature. When energy is added to a liquid at the boiling temperature, its converts the liquid into a gas at the same temperature. In this case, the energy added to the liquid goes into breaking the bonds between the liquid molecules without causing the temperature to change. The same thing happens when a solid changes into liquid. For instance, ice and water can exist together at the melting temperature. Adding heat to an ice-water slush will convert some of the ice to water without changing the temperature. In general, whenever there is a change of state, such as the solid-liquid or the liquid-gas transition, heat energy can be added without a temperature change. The change of state requires energy, so added energy goes into that instead of increasing the temperature.

Hope this helps! UwU

The equation X + Y 2Z has the rate law equation shown below. Which of the following statements best describes the relationship o
andreyandreev [35.5K]
The order of the reaction with respect to X is 2.
The statements given ;
1. As Concentration of X is in the rate law equation , changing X will have an effect on the rate of the equation.
2. Rate is proportional to X^2
So if concentration of X is doubled, then rate proportional to (2X)^2 = 4X^2
Rate therefore quadruples when X is doubled
This statement is correct
3. If we divide X/2 then the effect to the rate is (X/2)^2 = X/4 . This will reduce the rate by quarter not half . This statement is wrong.
4. If we multiply by 3
Then rate proportional to (3X)^2 = 9X^2
Rate increases by 9 times. This statement is wrong
