Very nice Kenneth. Please upload a video calculating the total iron. You are a very good teacher.

[@dbdiscoveries9534]

You are really good teaching!!! Amazing again. Thank you.

[@daniel.duane04]

Thank you so much
Great vid

would the oxygen factor not be 4/2.35 rather than 2.35/4?

[@SirAnsvin]

You are correct. 2.35/4 = 0.5875 and not 1.699 as shown in the video.

[@sin-taowu418]

You are correct😆

[@akisingh5832]

Thank you so much. Please upload more mineralogy numericals videos.

[@Niyi_Aden]

Great video. For the second example, what happens in a case where the mineral isn’t given by the professor?

[@kennethbefus]

that is the real life scenario. Have to use geologic intuition

[@MrK-tb9qi]

I love this

[@omarlux8690]

Very helpful!

[@annamariapellino2850]

Thank you for this useful video! What is the procedure if I have a mineral containing OH and H2O but that haven't been analysed?

[@stefan_popp]

This class could have benefited from a good justification for _why_ this is important. E.g. set up a tangible problem we actually want to solve. Math as a subject suffers badly from this issue.
