Which process results in the formation of sedimentary rocks?

Chemistry
1 answer:
klio [65]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

A. Rock fragments are layered and pressurized over time.

Explanation:

Sedimentary rocks are derived from pre-existing rocks that have been subjected to agents of denudation, weathered, transported and deposited within a basin.

In the basin, the sediments are accumulated in their final resting position.

  • Sediments are accumulated as layers on top of one another.
  • The pressure of the sediment on top of another forces out water and presses the layers into sheets.
  • Over time, the compression leads to lithification of the rock.
  • During lithification, compaction and cementation occurs.

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

solar energy

Heat from the sun, or solar energy, powers the evaporation process. It soaks up moisture from soil in a garden, as well as the biggest oceans and lakes. The water level will decrease as it is exposed to the heat of the sun.

If an ice cube melts at 0ºC but water also freezes at 0ºC, what is the difference between melting and freezing in terms of…….
devlian [24]

Answer:

<em>8. When melting the energy of the ice cubes increases and when frezzing the energy of the water decreases.</em>

<em />

<em>9. When melting the otion of the particles speed up, when freezing the motion of the particles slow down.</em>

Explanation:

<em><u>8. The energy involved in the phase changes</u></em>

When an ice cube melts at 0ºC it must absorb or gain energy from the surroundings. This is an endothermic process, because the energy of the liquid water shall be higher than the energy of the starting ice cubes.

In conclusion, when melting the energy of the water increases.

On the other hand, when the liquid water freezes, also at 0ºC, the flow of heat energy is from the liquid water to the surroundings. This is an exothermic process because the water releases heat. At the end, the energy of the frozen water will be lower than the energy of the liquid water.

In conclusion, when freezing the enery of the water decreases.

<u><em>9. The motion of the particles of the substances during the phase changes</em></u>

<u><em /></u>

The particles of liquid substances are in constant motion, which is what allows them to flow. This is because the particles (molecules or atoms) are relatively distant from each other, with relatively low intermolecular forces.  Thus, they can slide on each other.

On the other hand, the solid substances have the particles in fixed position in structures called crystals. The particles vibrate but do not translation motion.

In conclusion, the difference is that the motion of the particles during melting increases and the motion of th particles during freezing decreases.

Small quantities of oxygen can be prepared in the laboratory by heating potassium chlorate, KClO3 ( is ) . The equation for the
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is  52.35 g of O₂

Explanation:

mass of oxygen = ?

mass of KClO₃ = 66.8 g

Chemical balanced reaction

              KClO₃   ⇒   2 KCl  +   3O₂

Process

1.- Calculate the molar mass of KClO₃ and Oxygen

KClO₃ = 39 + 35.5 + (16 x 3) = 122.5 g

O₂ = 16 x 6 = 96 g

2.- Write proportions to solve this problem

                     122.5 g of KClO₃ -----------------  96 g of O₂

                        66.8 g              -----------------  x

                        x = (66.8 x 96) / 122.5

                        x = 6412.8/122.5

                        x = 52.35 g of O₂
