Answer:a
Explanation:
The three characteristics of minerals are that they are solid, have definite crystal structure and definite chemical composition.
What are minerals?Minerals are defined as a chemical compound which has a well -defined composition and possesses a specific crystal structure.It occurs naturally in the pure form.
If a compound occurs naturally in different crystal structure then each structure is considered as a different mineral.The chemical composition of a mineral varies depending on the presence of small impurities which are present in small quantities.
Some minerals can have variable proportions of two or more chemical elements which occupy equivalent position in the crystal structure.It may also have variable composition which is split into separate species.
Physical properties of minerals include color,streak, luster,specific gravity and cleavage.

What is the specific heat of a 85.01 g piece of an unknown metal that exhibits a 45.2°C temperature change upon absorbing 1870 J of heat?
Answer:
[tex]0.48~\frac{J}{g~^{\circ}C}[/tex]
Explanation:
In this question, we have to remember the relationship between Q (heat) and the specific heat (Cp) the change in temperature (ΔT), and the mass (m).
[tex]Q=m*Cp*ΔT[/tex]
The next step is to identify what values we have:
[tex]Q~=~1870~J[/tex]
[tex]m~=~85.01~g[/tex]
[tex]ΔT~=~45.2~^{\circ}C[/tex]
[tex]Cp~=~X[/tex]
Now, we can plug the values and solve for "Cp":
[tex]1870~J=~85.01~g~*Cp*45.2~^{\circ}C[/tex]
[tex]Cp=\frac{1870~J}{85.01~g~*45.2~^{\circ}C}[/tex]
[tex]Cp=0.48~\frac{J}{g~^{\circ}C}[/tex]
The unknow metal it has a specific value of [tex]0.48~\frac{J}{g~^{\circ}C}[/tex]

What volume of 6.00 M hydrochloric acid is needed to prepare 500 mL of 0.100 M solution?
Answer:
8.33mL or .0083L
Explanation:
Use m1 * V1 = m2 * V2
6.00M(x) = 0.100M(500mL)
solve for x
x= (.1 * 500) / 6
x=8.333 mL

A pentavalent cation atom has 20 and 15 neutrons as protons. Find the electron quantity and mass number respectively. (40 pts.) a) 20 and 15 b) 15 and 20 c) 15 and 35 d) 35 and 15 e) 10 and 20
Answer:
C.
Explanation:
Since the mass number is the number of protons and neutrons added together, the answer is 35. Since the questions are respectively electron quantity and mass number, the only answer choice with 35 as the second choice is C, so that is the correct answer.

Description (with words) of water just above melting temperature. What intermolecular forces do you expect to find in water in liquid state
Answer:
intermolecular dipole-dipole hydrogen bonds
Explanation:
Water is a polar molecule. Recall that the central atom in water is oxygen. The molecule is bent, hence it has an overall dipole moment directed towards the oxygen atom. Since it has a permanent dipole moment, we expect that it will show dipole-dipole interactions in the liquid state.
Similarly, water contains hydrogen and oxygen. Recall that hydrogen bonds are formed when hydrogen is covalently bonded to highly electronegative elements. Hence, water in the liquid state exhibits strong hydrogen bonding. The unique type of dipole-dipole interaction in liquid water is actually hydrogen bonding, hence the answer.
