Answer:

FALSE

Explanation:

Sedimentary rocks are defined as those rocks that are formed due to the combined effect of compaction and cementation process. In order to form sedimentary rocks, at first, the sediments that are transported from other places must be deposited. This deposited sediments over a due course of time, are subjected to high compaction due to the weight of the overlying weight. This results in the transformation of loose sediments into hard rocks. This how sedimentary rocks are formed which are comprised of sand-size particles.  For example, Shale, Sandstone, and Mudstone.

Thus, both the compaction and cementation processes are important for the formation of sedimentary rocks.

Hence, the above-given statement is False.

Answer:

B. a state in which the forward and reverse reactions are proceeding at equal rates

Explanation:

"Chemical equilibrium is the state of a chemical system at which a constant concentration of products and reagents is present. Reactions, which take place in homogeneous solutions, seem to have come to rest because no changes in concentrations of the participating substances can be determined. Substance turnover occurs only on the particle level, which is why chemical equilibrium is also referred to as dynamic equilibrium."

What is the volume of a sample if the density is 2.35 g/mL and the mass is 33.67 g?
lawyer [7]
  • Density=2.35g/mL
  • Mass=33.67g

\\ \star\sf\longmapsto Density=\dfrac{Mass}{Volume}

\\ \star\sf\longmapsto Volume=\dfrac{Mass}{Density}

\\ \star\sf\longmapsto Volume=\dfrac{33.67}{2.35}

\\ \star\sf\longmapsto Volume=14.32mL

Explain how the random motion of molecules produces a concentration gradient and a net movement of solute
mixer [17]

Random motion of molecules produces a concentration gradient and a net movement of solute as  random movement of molecules causes diffusion that causes movement of molecules from high concentration to low concentration . No ATP is required in this process. This causes movement of solute molecules and causes concentration gradient.
