Use the information and picture to answer the following question. A student prepares two solutions as shown. The dots represent solute particles. The student wants to test the conductivity of each solution. Prior to carrying out the investigation, the student needs to identify the variables being controlled and the variables being changed between the two solutions. Which identification of the variables is correct?

answer is: naturally occurring solid, inorganic compound or element is mineral.

minerals usually have crystalline form, that means than crystal constituents (atoms, molecules or ions) are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions.

for example magnetite is a mineral of iron oxide (fe₂o₃).

calcite is a carbonate mineral and the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate (caco₃).

dolomite is an   carbonate mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate (camg(co₃)₂).
