At a granular level‚ rocks are composed of grains of minerals‚ which‚ in turn‚ are homogeneous solids formed from a chemical compound that is arranged in an orderly manner. The aggregate minerals forming the rock are held together by chemical bonds. The types and abundance of minerals in a rock are determined by the manner in which the rock was formed. Many rocks contain silica (SiO2); a compound of silicon and oxygen that forms 74.3% of the Earth’s crust. This material forms crystals with other

Ca2+ and Mg2+ are responsible for water hardness 2) Calculate the mass of disodium Ethylenediaminetetraacetate required to prepare 250 mL of a 0.010 M solution. Mass = M x L x MM 0.010 M x 0.250 L x 372.24 g/mol = 0.93g of Na2H2Y 3) What is the molar concentration of the Na2H2Y solution? mol Ca = M x L 0.0107 M x 0.025 L = 2.65 x 10-4 mol if 1 mol of Ca = 1 mol Na2H2Y then: M of Na2H2Y = mol / L 2
