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

Chemistry

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.

Explain why the grams of the nutrient molecules in a food do not add up to the total gram weight of the food.
leva [86]

When we talk about the gram weight of any food item, it may or may not include the gram weight of its different nutrient molecules. It may have different reasons to it. One of the reasons can be because the nutrient molecule might contain a large percentage or proportion of water. Also, the nutrient molecules might be insoluble or indigestible fiber so it does not add up to the total gram weight of food.

const2013 [10]

Answer:

The compound you will use is the Dibasic phosphate

Explanation:

Simple phosphate buffer is used ubiquitously in biological experiments, as it can be adapted to a variety of pH levels, including isotonic. This wide range is due to phosphoric acid having 3 dissociation constants, (known in chemistry as a triprotic acid) allowing for formulation of buffers near each of the pH levels of 2.15, 6.86, or 12.32. Phosphate buffer is highly water soluble and has a high buffering capacity,

In this case the most efficient way is to disolve the dibasic compound which in the reaction with the water will form the monobasic phosphate.

To make the buffer you have to prepare the amount of distillate water needed, disolve the dibasic phospate, and then adjust with HCl or NaOH depending on the pH needed.

What happened to the FREQUENCY of the wave as the instrument got bigger?
Archy [21]

Answer:

The wavelengths at which resonance occurs are proportional to the length of the instrument, so you can play different notes by changing the length. In general the larger the instrument the longer the wavelength of the fundamental and the lower the frequency range of the instrument.
