What are the three sofest minerals?
The three softest minerals on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness are talc, gypsum, and calcite. Talc, rated as the softest with a score of 1, is commonly used in talcum powder. Gypsum, with a hardness of 2, is often found in plaster and drywall. Calcite, rated at 3, is a key component of limestone and marble.
Is hardness a property used to distinguish a substance?

What other properties could you use to distinguish talc from gypsum?
I don't get what you're talking about Talc is white gypsum is clearish----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------In Frederick H. Pough's, "A Field Guide to Rocks and Minerals", you find:GYPSUM (CaSO4∙2H2O).Physical properties: Colorless, white, and light tints; luster glassy, pearly (on cleavage face), and silky; hardness 2; gravity 2.3; fracture conchoidal and fibrous; cleavage two, one perfect micaceous; sectile; often fluorescent in yellow, showing hourglass pattern within crystal, also phosphorescent.Tests: Soluble in hot hydrochloric acid; addition of barium chloride solution gives awhite precipitate. (Talc is insoluble in hot hydrochloric acid)TALC (Mg3Si4O10)2 .Physical properties: White, greenish, gray, almost black; luster greasy to pearly; hardness 1; gravity 2.7-2.8; cleavage micaceous; can be easily cut; greasy feel; translucent to opaque.Distinguishing characteristics: Greasier and softer than brucite, mica, or chlorite.

What mineral has the density of 1.08?
The mineral with a density of approximately 1.08 g/cm³ is typically identified as talc. Talc is a soft mineral composed primarily of magnesium silicate and is commonly used in various applications, including talcum powder and as a lubricant. Its low density and softness are characteristic features that distinguish it from other minerals.
Which statement describes a chemical property that can be used to distinguish between compound A compound B?
One chemical property that can be used to distinguish between two compounds is their reactivity with a specific reagent to form a unique product. For example, if compound A reacts with a specific metal to form a colored precipitate while compound B does not, this difference in reactivity can be used to distinguish between the two compounds.
