the answer will there for be ironic
D. A broken piece of quartzite will break through, not around, quartz sand grains.
Quartzite and quartz sandstone have the <em>same chemical formula</em> (SiO_2)
Quartzite is a <em>metamorphic rock</em>. Heat and pressure have compressed the sand into a strong network of interlocking quartz grains.
Quartzite is so tough that it breaks through the sand grains rather than around them as in sandstone.
The half-life of the reaction is 50 minutes
Data;
- Time = 43 minutes
- Type of reaction = first order
- Amount of Completion = 45%
<h3>Reaction Constant</h3>
Let the initial concentration of the reaction be X
The reactant left = (1 - 0.45) X
= 0.55 X
= X
For a first order reaction

<h3>Half Life </h3>
The half-life of a reaction is said to be the time required for the initial amount of the reactant to reach half it's original size.

Substitute the values

The half-life of the reaction is 50 minutes
