Answer:

Schist is not an example of sedimentary rocks.

Explanation:

Sedimentary rocks are formed by the continual deposition of small particles carried in rivers and deposited in lakes or oceans which are subsequently cemented over time due to pressure from the upper layers and presence of some minerals at the Earth's surface. They are majorly in layers and the three types are; organic, chemical and clastic. Common examples are; sandstone, limestone, and shale.

The answer is option B "schist." Schist is a metamorphic rock and metamorphic rocks are formed by intense heat and pressure. It wouldn't be options A, C, or D because these are indeed sedimentary rocks which are formed by deposition and compaction.

Hope this helps.

A. Explain, in terms of particles, why NaCl(s) does not conduct electricity.
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

Ionic bonds hold charged particles in solid NaCl together, such that they are unable to move or conduct electricity.

Explanation:

Consider an electric current that flows through a conductor: charge moves in a uniform direction from one end of the conductor towards the other.

Thus, there are two conditions for a substance to conduct electricity:

  • The substance shall contain charged particles, and
  • These charged particles shall be free to move across the substance.

A conductor of electricity shall meet both requirements.

Now, consider the structure of solid NaCl \rm NaCl\;(s). NaCl is an ionic compound. It contains an ocean of oppositely charged ions:

  • Positive \rm Na^{+} ions, and
  • Negative \rm Cl^{-} ions.

Ions carry charge. Thus, solid NaCl contains charged particles and satisfies the first condition.

Inside solid NaCl \rm NaCl\;(s), electrostatic attractions ("ionic bonds") between the oppositely charged ions hold these ions in rigid ionic lattices. These ions are unable to move relative to each other. As a result, they cannot flow through the solid to conduct electricity. Under solid state, NaCl is unable to satisfy the second condition.

As a side note, melting NaCl into a liquid breaks the ionic bonds and free the ions from the lattice. Liquid NaCl is a conductor of electricity.

Cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen, which have high levels of free energy, and releases carbon dioxide and water, whic
Alja [10]

Answer: Cellular respiration is spontaneous and exergonic. The energy released from the glucose is stored in ATP molelcules.

Explanation:

Spontaneous reactions have an increase in entropy (level of disorder) and a decrease in enthalpy (total energy). Cellular respiration goes from a more ordered state (one molecule of glucose) to a more disordered state (several molecules of CO2), and goes from a state with a lot of free energy to one with much less free energy. As a result, respiration is a spontaneous process.

As free energy from the glucose is released as ATP molecules during oxidation, the reaction is exergonic.

A lead sphere has a mass of 1.20 x 104 g, and its volume is 1.05 x 103 cm^3. Calculate the density of lead.
Hatshy [7]

Answer: The density of lead will be 11.42g/cm^3

Explanation:

Density is defined as the mass contained per unit volume.

Density=\frac{mass}{Volume}

Given : Mass of lead=1.20\times 10^4g

Volume of lead =1.05\times 10^3cm^3

Putting in the values we get:

Density=\frac{1.20\times 10^4}{1.05\times 10^3}=11.42g/cm^3

Thus density of lead will be 11.42g/cm^3
