Q28

Brinell Hardness Number (BHN) for talc is approximately in the range of

A.
1-5
Answer
B.
20-30
C.
100-150
D.
200-250

Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
Brinell Hardness Number (BHN) is a measure of the hardness of materials, with higher values indicating harder materials.

Talc is a soft mineral, often used in cosmetics and as a lubricant.

The BHN of talc is very low, typically falling within the range of 1-5, indicating its softness compared to other materials.
