What is the chemical name of talcum powder?
The chemical name of talcum powder is Hydrous Magnesium Silicate. It is one of the extensively used substances. It is also known as the softest mineral.
Why might it be helpful to know the specific gravity of a mineral?
If we know the physical or chemical properties of substances (including minerals) we can identify these minerals easier.
What property of a mineral is determined by its chemical composition?
The color of a mineral sample is determined by its chemical composition
How does a mineral occur?
a mineral occurs from two substances or liquids forming together creating small minerals
Do minerals have definite chemical and physical properties?
Yes, it is true; but because minerals are frequently not very pure substances differences in properties exist; also many varieties of a mineral are possible.

When chemical reactions act on the mineral in rock what substances besides water and rock are commonly involved?
Generally, acids are also involved.

How is mineral formed?
Minerals are naturally occurring inorganic substances having a definite chemical make-up and are usually crystalline in structure. They are formed by geological processes.
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 processes control whether or not a mineral will precipitate from an aqueous solution?
The two variables are the concentration of that mineral in the solution and the solubility of that mineral in water. If the concentration of the mineral is higher than its solubility in water, some of the mineral will precipitate out of solution.
Is carbohydrates a mineral?
No, it's not a mineral. Carbohydrate is a class of organic substances (organic = generated by living systems, made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and sometimes nitrogen) which possess chemical energy, and are fuels for us if we can digest and absorb them. All carbs are composed of sugars. Minerals are much simpler inorganic substances or isolated elements (single atoms) and possess no chemical energy, and hence aren't fuels for us.
Mineral is made from in the ground?
nonliving substances
How the chemical stability of a mineral is affected by the bonding of the atoms in a mineral?
the chemical stability of minerals is depedent on the strength of the chemical bonds between atoms in the mineral.
What property of a mineral is determined by its chemical composition?
The color of a mineral sample is determined by its chemical composition
Why is a boulder not a mineral?
A mineral is a naturally occuring chemical compound. A mineral is different from a rock/boulder which can be an aggregate of minerals, or non minerals and does not have a specific chemical composition as a mineral does
Why is the chemical composition of a mineral important?
it means a naturally-occaring, inorganic solid that has a crystal structure and a definite chemical composition
