Does the density of a mineral depend on the size of the mineral sample?
No, to tell how hard a mineral is you either have to test it or determine what mineral it is. Testing uses materials of known hardness such as a fingernail, or copper penny, or scratch plate, if the mineral is scratched by whatever you use to test it is softer. Hardness however is not based on size it will be the same for any sample of the same rock no matter what the size because its based on atomic arrangement and bond type.
If you rub a mineral against a piece of porcelain tile what does this procedure tests the of the mineral?
Rubbing the mineral against an unglazed ceramic tile, called a streak plate, leaves a streak of the powdered mineral. This powder reflects the true color of the mineral. It's called a streak test, and the resultant line of color is called the streak. A link can be found below to check facts and learn more.
What is codeline baseline and mainline?
Some people argue that developers should not be involved in testing their own code but all testing should be done by a separate team. Give arguments for and against.
Commissioning and start up contract plus definition?
commissioning mean adjustment, testing, and tuning.
What is unifying explanation for a broad range of hypotheses and observations that have been supported by testing is called?
theory
A mineral that can by a steel file The property you are testing is the mineral's?
Hardness
What mineral property are you testing if a fingernail scratches a mineral?
If a fingernail can scratch a mineral, you are testing the mineral's hardness. Hardness is a measure of a mineral's resistance to being scratched by other materials. Minerals are ranked on the Mohs scale of hardness from 1 (softest) to 10 (hardest).
What property are you testing when you drip dilute hydrochloric acid on a mineral sample?
You are testing the reaction of the mineral with an acid to determine its composition. Some minerals react with acid by fizzing or bubbling, which indicates the presence of carbonate minerals.
What property are you testing if you scratch a mineral with a penny a nail and your fingernail?
When you scratch a mineral with a penny, nail, and your fingernail, you are testing the mineral's hardness. The ability to scratch or be scratched by certain materials helps determine the mineral's hardness on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness.
What is the most reliable physical property that can be used to identify a mineral?
The most reliable physical property to identify a mineral is its chemical composition. This is because each mineral has a unique combination of elements that make up its structure, which can be determined through chemical testing. Additionally, properties like hardness, cleavage, and specific gravity can also aid in identifying minerals.
What is the characteristic of a mineral that is revealed by testing what substances can scratch it and what the mineral can scratch?
it is hardness
What mineral property if you testing if you scratch a mineral on ceramic tile?
You're testing it's hardness.
Do Mineral spirits show up in alcohol urine testing?
will not
When testing for hardness which is softest?
Talc (a common metamorphic mineral).
How do you determine the hardness of a mineral and what methods are used for testing it?
The hardness of a mineral is determined using the Mohs scale, which ranks minerals from 1 (softest) to 10 (hardest). This scale is based on the ability of a mineral to scratch another mineral. To test the hardness of a mineral, various methods can be used, such as scratching it with a known mineral or using a tool like a hardness testing kit.
What PROPERTY are geologists testing when they do a SCRATCH test?
Hardness
What kind of test is it when you scratch a mineral with a nail?
Most likely you would be testing to see if the mineral was harder or softer than the nail.
