They must also possess a fixed crystalline structure (spatial arrangement of atoms and ions).

<h3>Structure of minerals</h3>

Minerals are those naturally occurring substances that are required for proper growth of living organisms.

It is found both on earth and in food substances such as calcium, magnesium, iron.

Minerals are known to have spatial arrangement of atoms and ions. Which means the ions and atoms are not randomly arranged.

Therefore, minerals are all naturally occurring solid substances with a definable chemical composition because it possess a fixed crystalline structure.

A sample of hydrogen occupies a volume of 351 mL at a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius. What is the new volume if the temperatu
xeze [42]
Volume of Hydrogen V1 = 351mL 
Temperature T1 = 20 = 20 + 273 = 293 K 
Temperature T2 = 38 = 38 + 273 = 311 K 
We have V1 x T2 = V2 x T1 
So V2 = (V1 x T2) / T1 = (351 x 311) / 293 = 372.56 
Volume at 38 C = 373 ml
