A clastic sedimentary rock is composed of silicate minerals and rock fragments. They are transported by moving fluids such as sedimentation due to gravity and are deposited in the area where it stays. They are composed mostly of feldspar, quartz, rock (lithic) fragments, clay minerals and mica.

Answer: Erosion

Explanation:

weathering and movement of the resulting sediments is called erosion. But sedimentary rock formation can begins from igneous, metamorphic and also other sedimentary rocks. When these rocks are exposed at the earth’s surface, they begin the long slow but unceasingly process of becoming sedimentary rock.

Also Sedimentation, burial and lithification are the processes that transform weathering products into sedimentary rocks.

Sediments and the environments in which they form are fundamentally divided into 2; which are clastic and chemical:

1. Clastic sediments are made of physically transported and deposited particles.

2. Chemical sediments are from solution, organically or inorganically; biochemical sediment more specifically refers to minerals grown from solution by organisms.

How many moles are there in 78.3g of CO2?

oksano4ka [1.4K]

The molar mass of CO2 can be calculated as follows;
CO2 — 12 + (16x2) = 12+ 32 = 44 g
Therefore molar mass of CO2 is 44 g/mol
In 44 g of CO2 there’s 1 mol of CO2
Then 1 g of CO2 there’s 1/44 mol of CO2
Therefore in 78.3 g of CO2 there’s — 1/44 x 78.3 =1.78 mol of CO2

Is insulating ability a chemical property or physical?

Maurinko [17]

The insulating ability of a substance is a physical characteristic and not a chemical one. A physical property is a characteristic that distinguishes one type of matter from the other and can be observed without changing the identity of the substance. A chemical property describes how one substance changes into another in a chemical reaction.
