1. Kevin had a small blue crystal of unknown composition and a large green anhydrous crystal of known composition. He heated both crystals over a laboratory burner. The green crystal did not
give off steam nor did it change physical appearance. The blue crystal, when heated, gave off
water vapor and became a powder. What can you conclude about the blue crystal? Explain.

answer and explanation;

composition refers to both the types of minerals within a rock and the overall chemical makeup of the rock while texture refers to the size and arrangement of the minerals or grains that make up a rock. both composition and texture can be used to classify rocks, such as igneous rocks. texture describes how the rock became solid or crystallized from liquid, melted rock. composition of a rock describes the minerals that make up a particular rock.
