Answer:

igneous rock CAN become sedimentary rock through a process called ROCK CYCLE.

Explanation:

Rocks can be defined as solid structures of minerals that are formed naturally over a period of time. They are grouped into three main types which includes the following:

- igneous rock

- sedimentary rocks and

- metamorphic rocks.

Rocks are capable of transforming from one type to another through a process known as rock cycle. There are two forces that brings about this process which includes:

- The internal force : this is the Earth’s internal heat engine, which moves material around in the core and the mantle and leads to slow but significant changes within the crust.

- The external force: this is the the hydrological cycle, which is the movement of water, ice, and air at the surface, and is powered by the sun.

Molten magma cools to form either extrusive igneous rock or intrusive igneous rock. With time they undergo weathering, eroded, transported, and then deposited as sediments which are being compressed and cemented into SEDIMENTARY ROCKS. Again through the above mentioned forces, different kinds of rocks are either uplifted, to be re-eroded, or buried deeper within the crust where they are heated up, squeezed, and changed into METAMORPHIC ROCK.

Therefore the material in this sedimentary rock found in Rhombus planet used to be in igneous rock deep in Rhombus's interior due to continuous rock cycling on the planet. I hope this helps, thanks.

A 3.0 g sample of a gas occupies a volume of 1.00L at 100C and 740 torr pressure. The molecular weight of the
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

94.2 g/mol

Explanation:

Ideal Gases Law can useful to solve this

P . V = n . R . T

We need to make some conversions

740 Torr . 1 atm/ 760 Torr = 0.974 atm

100°C + 273 = 373K

Let's replace the values

0.974 atm . 1 L = n . 0.082 L.atm/ mol.K . 373K

n will determine the number of moles

(0.974 atm . 1 L) / (0.082 L.atm/ mol.K . 373K)

n = 0.032 moles

This amount is the weigh for 3 g of gas. How many grams does 1 mol weighs?

Molecular weight → g/mol → 3 g/0.032 moles = 94.2 g/mol

explain why ionic compounds are not electrical conductors in the solid state, but conduct electricity when dissolved.
Alik [6]

Answer:

Hi !

Here is your answer !

Ionic compounds cannot conduct electricity when solid, as their ions are held in fixed positions and cannot move.

Explanation:

Ionic compounds conduct electricity when molten (liquid) or in aqueous solution (dissolved in water), because their ions are free to move from place to place.

Thank You !
