Why are physical properties such as hardness or cleavage useful to geologists when identify minerals?

Chemistry

nevsk [136]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Physical properties are controlled by the mineral's chemical composition and atomic structure, this combination is distinct in each mineral.

Explanation:

Hello,

Since the physical properties depend on the mineral's chemical composition and the atomic structure (molecular arrangement), we can distinguish different minerals by measuring out hardness, cleavage and other properties in order to analyze their behavior under several conditions and subsequently  use them in a particular application.

Best regards.

1. It has been suggested that pain results from a change in the pH of solutions that surround nerves in the body.
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

According to the question, it is established that the pain caused by a lot of insect bites owes to the acidity of the insect bites.

If this is true, then there is an urgent need to neutralize the acidic insect bite using a basic substance.

Hence the pH of the creams used to treat insect bites should be basic(having a high pH).

2. The compound methene can not exist because it is supposed to be derived from the alkane called methane which contains only one carbon atom.

In order to form an alkene, there must be a double bond between two carbon atoms. This is not possible because there is only one carbon atom in the hypothetical methene. Hence,  a compound named methene cannot exist.

A gas has a volume of 30 L at 105 kPa. What pressure is required to compress the gas to 21 L?
Aloiza [94]

Answer: 150 kPa

Explanation:

Given that,

Original volume of gas V1 = 30L

Original pressure of gas P1 = 105 kPa

New pressure of gas P2 = ?

New volume of gas V2 = 21L

Since pressure and volume are given while temperature is constant, apply the formula for Boyle's law

P1V1 = P2V2

105 kPa x 30L = P2 x 21L

3150 kPa L = P2 x 21L

P2 = 3150 kPa L / 21 L

P2 = 150 kPa

Thus, 150 kPa of pressure is required to compress the gas
