Answer:

a. In a mineral the constituent atoms are bonded in a regular, repetitive, internal structure; a rock is a lithified or consolidated aggregate of different mineral grains.

Explanation:

In the internal structure of a mineral the atoms are arranged in an orderly manner, forming shapes that are repeated throughout the structure.

Rocks are a mixture of other materials consolidated in one, which include minerals.

So the minerals have a defined internal structure with atoms in a regular and repeated configuration, while a rock, being a consolidated aggregate, combination of other materials including minerals, does not have a structure that defined

Calculate the number of moles of caco3 (calcium carbonate, or limestone) in a 20.0g sample of this substance
Brrunno [24]
First calculate for the molar mass of the given formula unit, CaCO₃. This can be done by adding up the product when the number of atom is multiplied to its individual molar mass as shown below.

     molar mass of CaCO₃ = (1 mol Ca)(40 g Ca/mol Ca) + (1 mol C)(12 g of C/1 mol of C) + (3 mols of O)(16 g O/1 mol O) = 100 g/mol of CaCO₃

Then, divide the given amount of substance by the calculated molar mass.
            number of moles = (20 g)(1 mol of CaCO₃/100 g)
             number of moles = 0.2 moles of CaCO₃

<em>Answer: 0.2 moles</em>
