What do most mineral on Earth's surface contain?

Explanation:

shallow sea  

A shallow sea is best choice, although both are evaporites and would most likely be formed as either the sea evaporated, or in a playa setting (dry lake bed in a desert)

oxygen and silicon

"Nearly all (98.5%) of Earth’s crust is made up of only eight elements – oxygen, silicon, aluminum, iron, calcium, sodium, potassium, and magnesium – and these are the elements that make up most minerals."

Of available answers:

a) nitrogen and oxygen

b) sulfur and hydrogen

c) silicon and nitrogen

d) oxygen and silicon

Only oxygen and silicon are both included on the list

1. 1 mole of anything contains 6.022x10^23 pieces  

d  

2. a  

3. c, number  

5. 1.24x10^24atoms / 6.022x10^23atoms/mole = 2moles h2 atoms  

6. fe2br3 mass = 2moles x mass fe + 3 moles x mass br  

molar mass = grams / number of moles = g/mole  

to find moles = g / molar mass  

to find mass = g = molar mass / moles

answer: the rate of diffusion increases with increase in temperature.

increase in temperature, increases the molecular/particles speed (kinetic energy. diffusion means movement of particles through the material.

generally, the heavier the particle the more it interacts with the environment and more the temperature matters. so higher temperature results in higher diffusion.
