I‘m doing an Earth project and cannot find the abundance of the mineral cinnabar or its chemical properties? HELP ME PLEASE!
Here's a driving tip I learned from Joe the Trucker: Just drive your own vehicle. There is enough going on then to worry about what a bunch of unlicensed drivers are doing (up to 50% of drivers in major cities of the US are unlicensed).
No I don't, I travel through this world to serve only you. I pay no attention to others. And since your perfect i have nothing to annoy me. Ok Lets get real, No I don't do this and really I don't care if anyone does this to THEIR car. I am amused though why something like this seems to have gotten under your skin. Maybe you need to take a vacation. (In a sunny place)
Almost all mercury that occurs in the crust is found as cinnabar (HgS). By weight, mercury represents 67 parts per billion of the crust, and by atoms it is 7 parts per billion. Now, if we take that information and pair it with the weight of sulphur, we can say that cinnabar makes up close to 77 parts per billion of the entire weight of the earth's crust. If you like percents, that's 7.7 millionths of a percent of the crust. You'll probably note the use of the words 'close to'. That's, of course, because I made an incorrect esitmate to get that figure. The incorrect estimate is that all the mercury is tied up in cinnabar, when it's not. Just MOST of it. So the degree of accuracy has to do with how most it is. By most indications I can find, it should actually be fairly close. As for what cinnabar itself is like, it's a lot like quartz: crystalline and prone to granularity. It also has the highest refractive index of any mineral, which is to say that no mineral naturally bends light more. Hope that helps!
