Three main classifications of rocks are

sedimentary rock

metamorphic rock
igneous rock

Explanation:

Three main classifications of rocks are:

Sedimentary rocks are formed from the shells, sand particles and pebbles.

Example of Sedimentary rock limestone.

Igneous rocks are formed by the crystallization and solidification of magma.

Example of Igneous rock basalt.

Metamorphic rocks are formed when the igneous rock or sedimentary rock they are exposed to high temperature and pressure below the Earth's surface.

Example of Metamorphic rock is marble.

What functional group would be expected to be found in the major, and final, organic product upon completion of the reaction bet

taurus [48]

Answer:

Ketone

Explanation:

The reaction between 1-hexyne and mercuric sulphate in the presences of aqueous sulphuric acid is a reaction that leads to the formation of a product containing a carbonyl group(a ketone in this case).

This reaction occurs in alkynes but the product formed depends on the structure of the alkyne; an aldehyde or ketone may be formed depending on the structure of the alkyne.

Explain why a strong acid must have a weak conjugate base

mojhsa [17]

Explanation:

The specie produced when a strong acid is dissociated in water along with the proton is the conjugate base of that acid.

Consider a strong acid such as HCl which donates the proton so readily as it is a strong base and there is no tendency for conjugate base, which is $Cl^-$ to re accept that proton.

A strong base is the one which accepts proton and holds it firmly. Thus, the strong acid has weak conjugate base.
