Two reasons why petroleum is not a mineral?
One reason is that it is liquid while minerals are always solid. The another reason is that it came from organic materials.
Something that forms when one of the products of a chemical reaction is insoluble?
The process you describe is known as precipitation, and the solid substance that was formed as a result of the reaction is called precipitate
What is the term for a solid the forms when two solutions are mixed?
precipitate
How can there be 2000 minerals when there are only 88 naturally occurring elements?
The reason why there are more minerals than the number of elements is because minerals are not made up of a single element only. They are made of more than one elements and in some case a combination of elements .
What does water droplets precipitate as?
it precipitate as rain
Can minerals can precipitate when liquids cool or evaporate?
yes
What type of dissolved minerals glue particles into one mass?
The minerals that precipitate from fluids to cement particles together to form sedimentary rocks could be calcite, quartz, clay, or iron minerals.
What do you call the process where minerals precipitate directly from a gas?
Crystallization
What is hydrogenous sediment?
Hydrogenous sediments are formed when minerals precipitate from the ocean, or they can be formed when minerals in the water react with older sediments.
Do rock salt and gypsum form when evaporation causes minerals to precipitate from water?
Yes.
What is travertine?
Travertine is a sedimentary rock. It is a natural chemical precipitate of carbonate minerals; typically Aragonite
What minerals form from loss of water?
Precipitate or evaporite minerals form from the loss of water in a saturated solution. Certain other minerals are formed when rock undergoes metamorphism due to heat and pressure. Hydrous minerals change into non-hydrous minerals.
What is mineral precipitation?
Dissolved minerals that precipitate out due to pH changes, temperature, pressure or simply evaporation
Which of these minerals commonly forms as an evaporate (precipitate from evaporating water)?
For example sodium and potassium chloride are evaporites.
What happens to any minerals and salt in water that has been completely evaporated?
The minerals precipitate out of the solution. This is one of the methods of obtaining salt - large shallow pieces of land are filled with seawater. When the water evaporates it leaves salt and other minerals (such as calcium) at the base of the land.
How do hydrogenous sediments form?
Along which coast is Thorium found in abundance?
How are petrified or perminilized fossil formed?
Permineralized fossils form when solutions rich in minerals permeate porous tissue, such as bone or wood. Minerals precipitate out of solution and fill the pores and empty spaces.
