Answer:

The correct answer is option D, chemical sedimentary rock

Explanation:

Both stalactites and stalagmites are called drip stone as they are formed of the dripping water consisting of minerals. Both stalactites and stalagmites hang up from the ceiling of caves. These are also refereed to as Chemical sedimentary rocks formed by precipitation. The three major processes involved in the formation of these two rocks are –  

a) Physical weathering – which disintegrates the minerals contained in the igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic rock

b) Chemical weathering – which involves dissolution of weathered rock minerals

c) Precipitation of the dissolved minerals.

The right option is; chemical sedimentary rock

Chemical sedimentary rocks are rocks that are formed by precipitation of minerals from water. Chemical sedimentary rocks are also called evaporates and they are usually composed of the minerals halite (calcium chloride) and gypsum (calcium sulfate). Examples of chemical sedimentary rocks include stalactites, stalagmites, rock salt, flint, and some dolomites.

If you need to reverse the following reaction and multiply it by 2 in order for it to be an intermediate reaction in a Hess's la
jekas [21]
We have that the total enthalpy of the reaction changes with the quantity of the reactants and it is proportional to them. Also, the reverse of a reaction has the opposite enthalpy. Hence, since we need to multiply by 2, the reactants are double and thus the value of the enthalpy is 2 as big. Also, since we are using the inverse reaction, we must also invert the sign. Thus, for this reaction we must use the value H=572 kJ.
