Topaz and quartz

Explanation:

Topaz and quartz are minerals that will scratch feldspars but will not scratch corundum. Corundum is one of the hardest substance based on moh's scale.

The hardness of a mineral is its resistance to deformation. A mineral is harder than another if it can scratch it.

The moh's scale of hardness list minerals in the order of their hardness:

  1.             Talc
  2.             Gypsum
  3.             Calcite
  4.             Fluorite
  5.              Apatite
  6.              Orthoclase
  7.              Quartz
  8.              Topaz
  9.               Corundum
  10.               Diamond

Diamond is the hardest and talc is the softest.

Orthoclase is a feldspar.

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of molecule of oxygen = 6.00×10²⁴ molecules

Number of moles of oxygen = ?

Solution:

1 mole contain 6.022 ×10²³ molecules

6.00×10²⁴ molecules × 1 moles of oxygen  / 6.022 ×10²³ molecules

0.996×10¹ moles of oxygen

9.96 moles of oxygen

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.
