The chemical composition of mineral turpentine can vary, but it is primarily composed of various hydrocarbons such as alpha-pinene, beta-pinene, and carene. The exact chemical equation for mineral turpentine would depend on its specific composition, but these hydrocarbons are the main components.
Mineral turpentine is a petroleum-based solvent used for thinning oil-based paints and cleaning brushes, while turpentine essence is a natural solvent extracted from pine trees and commonly used in painting and as a solvent in varnishes. Turpentine essence has a stronger odor and may be more irritating to the skin compared to mineral turpentine.
Mineral turpentine should be disposed of at a hazardous waste facility or through a household hazardous waste collection program. Do not pour it down the drain or put it in the regular trash as it can be harmful to the environment.
In mineralogy terms, no. A mineral is naturally occurring, homogenous solid with a defined chemical composition and a highly ordered atomic arrangement. Most of the terms in that definition do not apply to glycerine.But, Mineral is often applied to oils and their derivatives to indicate that they are not from a natural source. Mineral turpentine, mineral oil, and so on, to distinguish them from their natural cohort.
A chemical equation is a shorthand description of a chemical reaction.
A chemical reaction can be represented by a chemical equation.

No. Because of the confusion between turpentine, mineral turpentine, mineral spirits and mineral oil, I have included links to all of these substances. All of the above except mineral oil are toxic if one drinks them. Turpentine is the only one that is not a petroleum distillate. Mineral oil as sold in a pharmacy is for constipation and to be used as directed. See related links.
Turpentine is not a mineral it is a plant extract.
Genuine turpentine is used by artists who paint with oils and is a wood spirit got by distillation of tree sap. Turpentine substitute is a synthetic spirit derived from mineral oil

I guess it depends on which solvent is used as a paint thinner. For example, the chemical name of Acetone is "dimethyl ketone" or "2-propanone", while some of the chemical names of a mineral spirit (also named white spirit) are "mineral turpentine" or "solvent naphtha".
Mineral Spirits & Turpentine
Mineral Turpentine Oil
You can use mineral spirits or citrus-based solvents as alternatives to turpentine for cleaning brushes, thinning paint, or dissolving glazes. These alternatives are less toxic and have a milder odor compared to turpentine.
White spirit, also known as mineral spirits or mineral turpentine, was first developed in the 1920s by the German chemical company BASF. It is a petroleum-derived solvent used for thinning paint and cleaning tools.
Mineral turpentine should be disposed of at a hazardous waste facility or through a household hazardous waste collection program. Do not pour it down the drain or put it in the regular trash as it can be harmful to the environment.
The same as mineral spirits for cleaning and thinning paint is turpentine.
