You are given five transparent objects: a calcite crystal, a diamond, a piece of window glass, a sample of quartz, and a piece of zircon. How would you go about identifying each sample?

Explanation:

The calcite Crystal can be identified by carrying out an acid test on it. This is done by bringing it in contact with a weak acid which cause crack in it structure. Hence a little of carbondioxide gas is released.

Since diamond is the hardest object,it can be identified on a Mohs scale. Likewise it can be tested by bringing it in contact with a newspaper, if the letters on the paper are not seen, that shows it is a pure diamond.

Window glass is identified by the code on it.

While Quartz Crystal is identified by scratch test. When it is used to scratch all other softer stones and metal, it leaves mark on them.

layer a is the exosphere and layer b is the thermosphere.   is the answer i think but i hope this .
