A solution (in this experiment solution of NaNO₃) freezes at a lower temperature than does the pure solvent (deionized water). The higher the
solute concentration (sodium nitrate), freezing point depression of the solution will be greater.
Equation describing the change in freezing point:
ΔT = Kf · b · i.
ΔT - temperature change from pure solvent to solution.
Kf - the molal freezing point depression constant.
b - molality (moles of solute per kilogram of solvent).
i - Van’t Hoff Factor.
First measure freezing point of pure solvent (deionized water). Than make solutions of NaNO₃ with different molality and measure separately their freezing points. Use equation to calculate Kf.
Answer: The actions that must have affected the igneous rock in order to form the sedimentary rock is that (It must have been broken down into sediments).
Explanation:
Rocks are solid structures that occurs naturally which is made up of different minerals. There are three main types of rocks, these includes:
--> METAMORPHIC ROCKS: These are the type of rocks which are formed by temperature and pressure changes inside the Earth.
--> SEDIMENTARY ROCKS: these rocks are usually formed from pre-existing rocks through the process of weathering (breaking down) of rocks.
--> IGNEOUS ROCKS: these rocks are formed when molten magma cools beneath or above the earth surface.
The actions that must have affected the igneous rock in order to form the sedimentary rock is that the igneous rocks are broken down into smaller pieces by erosion and weathering processes. Sediments which are formed accumulates at the earth surface. Over a long period of time, these sediments builds successive layers on top of one another. The sediments near the base hardens to form sedimentary rocks. This justifies the statement as a correct option (It must have been broken down into sediments).
