Friedrich Mohs devised a scale that tested mineral <span>hardness, </span>which means the resistance of a mineral to being scratched. This scale (from 1 to 10) is known as the Mohs Hardness Test. Objects are used as tools to perform the hardness test:
<span>fingernail (hardness = 2,5).
copper penny (hardness = 3)
glass plate or steel knife (hardness = 5,5)
<span>steel file (hardness = 6,5).
According to this scale </span></span><span>hardness of the mineral is between 5,5 and 6,5.</span>

Definition of proton and example
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

An elementary particle that is identical with the nucleus of the hydrogen atom, that along with the neutron is a constituent of all other atomic nuclei, that carries a positive charge numerically equal to the charge of an electron.

Example:

The nucleus of a hydrogen atom or the H+ ion is an example of a proton. Regardless of the isotope, each atom of hydrogen has 1 proton; each helium atom contains 2 protons; each lithium atom contains 3 protons and so on.

Answer: C) a redox reaction that produces an electric current

Explanation:

Chemical cell is a device which is used for the conversion of the chemical energy produced in a redox reaction into the electrical energy. The cell consists of the negative terminal called as anode where oxidation takes place and a positive terminal called as cathode where reduction takes place.

Electrolytic cell is a device which is used to carry out chemical reactions by the use of electrical energy. The cell consists of the negative terminal called as cathode where reduction takes place and a positive terminal called as anode where oxidation takes place.

What should i write on a essay about glue and liquid corn starch
PolarNik [594]
Hmm... interesting topic you're writing about here!
Well, for this essay, there must be specific criteria, correct? I'll make some suggestions, but of course you don't have to go by them if you don't like 'em. So... here they are!:

- List the physical and chemical properties of glue
- List the physical and chemical properties of liquid corn starch
- Compare and contrast the physical and chemical properties of glue with the physical and chemical properties of liquid corn starch
- You can conduct some experiments with the two substances also! You can mix the two together and see how they react with each other, and incorporate the results of the experiment into your essay.
- You can mix glue with some other liquid substances too, and incorporate your results into your essay. You can see whether each substance the glue mixes with creates a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture, etc.
- You can mix liquid corn starch with some other liquid substances too, and incorporate your results into your essay. You can see whether each substance the liquid corn starch mixes with creates a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture, etc.

That's all I can come up with at the moment. Maybe you'll take some of these suggestions into consideration...? Anyhow, I hope I helped somehow! :)
