Gneiss is a sedimentary rock and granite is a metamorphic rock.

<h3>What are rocks?</h3>

Rocks are geological hard materials that are made up of various types which include:

  • Sedimentary rocks: These are rocks that made up of various layers formed from sediments. Example is the gnesis.

  • Metamorphic rocks: These are rocks that are form from pre existing rocks that undergoes some transformation. Example is granite

Therefore, Gneiss is a sedimentary rock and granite is a metamorphic rock.

Which step would help a student find the molecular formula of a compound from the empirical formula
JulsSmile [24]
Find the mass of the empirical formula.
You must be given a sample of some kind to calculate the weight or know how many moles are present. Then you figure out what one mol would be. The key step is multiplying the empirical formula numbers by what it takes to make 1 mol.

It would be clearer if we were working from some choices.

What is the difference in concentration between a pH of 7 and 12?
Ratling [72]

Answer:

The pH of a solution is simply a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions,  

H

+

, which you'll often see referred to as hydronium cations,  

H

3

O

+

.

More specifically, the pH of the solution is calculated using the negative log base  

10

of the concentration of the hydronium cations.

Now, we use the negative log base  

10

because the concentration of hydronium cations is usually significantly smaller than  

1

.

As you know, every increase in the value of a log function corresponds to one order of magnitude.

If an element has 1 valence electrons, how many dots will be in the elements dot diagram?
gayaneshka [121]
The answer is one dot.

The number of dots an element has represented in the diagram, indicates how many valence eletrons( which is the number of electrons in the most exterior energy level of an atom or ion) the element has. So, 1 valence eletron equals one dot.
