Mineral that cannot be determined by inspection?
The chemical composition of a mineral cannot typically be determined by inspection alone. Specialized techniques such as X-ray diffraction, spectroscopy, and electron microscopy are often needed to accurately identify minerals based on their physical and chemical properties.
Which is an example if a mineral whose streak cannot be determined with a porcelin streak plate?
Hematite, gold, feldspar or magnetite
What mineral properties cannot be used to identify a mineral?
The color, luster, and crystal shape of a mineral may be observed just by looking at the mineral. Some minerals have very distinctive colors that help identify them. Although the color of a mineral can give away its identity, color is the least useful property for mineral identification.
What mineral property cannot be used to identify a mineral?
Mass
Would a mineral of a hardness of 9 leave a streak Why or why not?
A mineral with a hardness of 9, such as corundum, would not leave a streak on a streak plate because it is harder than the plate itself, which typically has a hardness of about 6. A harder mineral cannot scratch a softer material, so it wouldn't produce a streak. Streak is determined by the powder left behind when a mineral is scraped against a harder surface, and since the mineral is too hard, it cannot do so.
What property of a mineral can be determined by scratch?
The property of a mineral that is determined by scratching is its hardness. A mineral can be identified by its hardness; for example Talc, which is 1 on Mohs scale of hardness is very soft and can be scratched by a fingernail, as can most common forms of gypsum. Apatite, which is 5 on mohs scale of hardness can be scratched by a steel knife or window glass, whereas Quartz (7) cannot. Diamond is the hardest in the scale at 10, it is almost 4 times as hard as Corundum (9 on mohs scale). Some other ways of determining a type of mineral are: Cleavage/Fracture Chemical Formula Luster Density Streak Specific Gravity Interference colors, twinning, pleochroism & extinction angles can be viewed under an optical microscope with plane and cross polarized light
What can a mineral not be?
A mineral cannot be made from living organisms or have a uniform chemical composition that varies significantly from one specimen to another. Additionally, a mineral cannot be a synthetic or man-made material.
What can minerals not be?
A mineral cannot be organic. A mineral cannot be made by or composed of life forms.
What mineral cannot be scratched by another mineral?
A diamond. Actually, a diamond can be scratched my other minerals.
How do you beat an expired inspection ticket?
you cannot
How long past inspection can you drive?
Legallly you cannot operate vehicle with an expired inspection sticker
