What else can I help you with?
How is a calcite or feldspar inditified?
Calcite can be identified by its rhombohedral cleavage and effervescence in acid. Feldspar can be identified by its two cleavage planes at nearly 90 degrees, and it often has a white to pink color. Both minerals can also be identified by their hardness using the Mohs scale.
What does calcite turn into?
Calcite does not undergo a chemical change under normal environmental conditions. However, if exposed to heat, pressure, or chemical alteration, calcite can potentially transform into other minerals such as marble through a process called metamorphism.
Is calcite a metal?
No. Calcite is a carbonate mineral.
How many different elements in calcite?
Three: calcium, carbon, oxygen.
What is the chemical composition of a calcite?
Calcite is calcium carbonate, CaCO3.
Why does calcite break smooth flat surfaces?
calcite has a regular arrangement of atoms.
Rhombohedral cleavage is displayed by the mineral named?
Calcite is the mineral that displays rhombohedral cleavage. Cleavage is the way a mineral breaks along certain planes of weakness, resulting in smooth, flat surfaces. In the case of calcite, it typically breaks along three cleavage planes at 75° and 105°, resulting in rhombohedral-shaped cleavage fragments.
Which mineral had 4 directions of cleavage?
I think Calcite. Calcite is 3 on the hardness scale and sometimes you can break it into cubes. The difference between Calcite and Quartz is that Calcite is a milky white.
How do you create calcite?
Calcite belongs to the calcite group of minerals, a group of related carbonates. Many important chemicals are created from Calcite, as well as useful drugs.
Tendency to break along smooth flat surfaces?
Many minerals have "cleavage" that causes them to split on flat cleavage planes. Such minerals include micas (muscovite, biotite. phlogopite), calcite, gypsum, and feldspars. Cleavage is the result of the minerals' crystal structure that has weaker chemical bonds aligned in planes.
How many forms of calcite are there?
answ2. Calcite and Aragonite are two common mineral forms of CaCO3.
How is a calcite or feldspar inditified?
Calcite can be identified by its rhombohedral cleavage and effervescence in acid. Feldspar can be identified by its two cleavage planes at nearly 90 degrees, and it often has a white to pink color. Both minerals can also be identified by their hardness using the Mohs scale.
Does calcite break in cleavage or fracture?
maybe, maybe not who knows not me...2. you shouldn't ask a 12 year old...3. ask a professional.
What does calcite do to paint?
calcite is used to make many metallic objects, such as metal doors, cars, gurdurs ect.
How many planes are in real life?
There are way too many planes in real life. No one can tell how many planes are in real life.
How many planes for symmetry are there in a cube?
9 planes in Cube 3 Planes in Cuboid
