What is nominal GNP and real GNP?
The nominal GNP is the value of all the production valued at this year's prices. Real GNP is valued at prices of a base year. Thus, if an economy produces in year 1 2 oranges and 3 apples, at prices 5 and 6 respectively and in year 2, 4 oranges and 6 apples, at prices 9 and 8, then:nominal GDP year 1=2*5+3*6=28nominal GDP year 2= 4*9+6*8=84Notice that you can not compare production between two years because prices increased. It is not correct to state that production multiply by 3. So you should compute real GNP at prices of year 1Real GDP year 1 (at prices of year 1) = 28 (same as before)Real GDP year 2 (at prices of year 1) = 4*5+6*6=56
The CPI was 123 in year 1 and 117 in year 2 did the prices rise or fall between year 1 and year 2?
Prices fell. Effectively the same basket of goods cost $123 in year 1 and $117 in year two.
What is the hardness of a mineral that scratches gypsum?
On the Mineral Scale: 2 General Hardness: Softer than the human finger nail
Does gypsum scratch flourite?
No. Gypsum has a hardness on the Mohs scale of 2. Topaz has a hardness on the Mohs scale of 8. This means that topaz ranks much harder than gypsum and that gypsum cannot scratch topaz. Please do not refer to these numbers as absolute hardness. This does not mean that topaz is 4 times as hard as gypsum since they are ranked 8 and 2. The Mohs scale only designates a hardness scale of 1 through 10 so that geologists and mineralogists in the field have a quick way of determining a mineral's identity or eliminating possible options of what the mineral may be.
Types of minerals?
There are two basic types of mineral. 1. Macro -- It is the amount mineral needed by the body which is larger than 100 milligrams. Examples: Calcium, phosphorus and magnesium 2. Trace-- It is the amount needed by the body in small amounts Example: Iron 3.Gypsum--a common white or colorless mineral (hydrated calcium sulphate) used to make cements and plasters (especially plaster of Paris) Gypsum is a very soft mineral composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate, with the chemical formula CaSO4·2H2O. A common mineral of evaporates in inland salt playas. Calcium sulphate the raw material (minerals alabaster, satin spar, selenite) used for gypsum plasters, wallboard/drywall; gypsum plaster, unlike cement, expands on setting, does not crack unless there are faults in the backing; must never be mixed with Portland cement.
What is the softest mineral and why?
Talc is the softest mineral. The Mohs hardness scale goes like this, from softest to hardest: 1. Talc, 2. Gypsum, 3. Calcite, 4. Fluorite, 5. Apatite, 6. Orthoclase Feldspar, 7. Quartz, 8. Topaz, 9. Corundum, 10. Diamond.
What hardness does a mineral have if its scratched by glass?
Somewhere between 3 and 5 on the Mohs scale of relative mineral hardness...
What rock is soft enough to be scratched by a nail?
Rocks that mostly contain minerals like mica, gypsum, and talc can be scratched by a fingernail.
What is the numbers and mineral on Mohs hardness scale true of false?
1. Talc 2. Gypsum 3. Calcite 4. Fluorite 5. Apatite 6. Orthoclase Feldspar 7. Quartz 8. Topaz 9. Corundum 10. Diamond
What does the moon weigh in km?
1 tone-2 tone
Is talc softer than topaz?
Talc is the softest mineral.. here is the mohs scale of hardness 1. talc 2. gypsum 3.calcite 4.fluorite 5.apatite 6.orthoclase 7. quartz 8. topaz 9. corundum 10.diamond
Which is the hardest mineral among corundum quartz and topaz?
Using the geological Moh's scale of hardness of minerals: 1 - Talc 2 - Gypsum 3 - Calcite 4 - Fluorite 5 - Apatite 6 - Feldspar 7 - Quartz 8 - Topaz 9 - Corundum 10 - Diamond
How much is 1 tone per kilogram?
The word is a "ton", not "tone". 1 ton = 1000 kg.
Describe two environments in which minerals form. List a mineral that is form in each environment?
1. A mineral can be formed through evaporating salt water which is when salt water evaporates. you can do this at home with a bottle and mix salt and water together and see what happens when it dries up. Examples: Gypsum and Halite 2. A mineral can also be formed through hot water solutions which is when ground water works its way down and is boiled by ground magma. Examples are Gold, copper sulfur pyrite and galena.
