Question 4
4. Two students are debating the classification of graphite (chemical formula:
C). With which student do you agree?
Student 1: I think that graphite belongs in the "other" category. It has carbon,
but it doesn't have oxygen, so according to the definition, it cannot be a
carbonate.
Student 2: But the word "carbonate" has the word "carbon" in it! I think that if
any mineral has carbon in its chemical formula, it must be a carbonate.
Both students

Question 5
5. Examine Rock 3 in the
Lab Rock Kit
. Which one of the geologist’s groups
of minerals mostly makes up this rock? What observation did you use to
make your interpretation?
iron-rich silicates, because it is mostly dark in color
iron-free silicates, because it is mostly light in color
other, because it has shiny pieces in it
