Chemistry

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.

How do you Calculate the molarity of 250 ml of solution in which 2.7 g of MgCl2 are dissolved
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

Molar mass of MgCl2 is 95 g/mol

Mg = 24 g/mol and Cl = 35.5 ×2 = 71 g/mol

moles = mass given/ molar mass

= 2.7/95 = 0.028 mol

volume = 250/1000 = 0.25 dm3 (ml is the same as dm3)

molarity of MgCl2 = moles/volume

= 0.028/0.25

= 0.112 mol/dm3
