These could all go either way, hardness and other special properties are what I'm guessing would be the most accurate in determining the kind of material.
luster, cleavage, streak, and color can all be affected by other factors. but I guess cleavage would also be accurate. so I guess hardness special properties and cleavage would be the most reliable.

Explanation:
Ca-Cl is an ionic bond. We know this because the difference between their electronegativities is 2.16.The electronegativity tells us which atom will attract the electron more than the other. Hence, chlorine attracts the electron a lot more than the calcium.A difference of more than 1.6 (or 1.7 depending on the source) implies that the electrons are so unevenly shared, that the bond is ionic, rather than polar covalent.
Removing seed casings from grains is SEPARATING. a soda bubble bubbling when it is opened is MIXING. a bright copper statue turning green is MIXING. remove salt from seawater is SEPARATING. water decomposing is SEPARATING.
