Is halite an element or a compound?
Halite is a compound composed of two elements: sodium and chlorine. Sodium chloride (NaCl) is the chemical formula for halite, making it a compound.
What type of sedimentary rock is halite?
Halite is not a sedimentary rock, it is actually a mineral.
What minerals have the greatest chemical stability?
Minerals with a simple composition and strong bonding tend to have the greatest chemical stability. For example, minerals like quartz (SiO2) and diamond (C) have extremely stable chemical structures and are resistant to chemical weathering. Other stable minerals include halite (NaCl), calcite (CaCO3), and pyrite (FeS2).
What is the chemical representation for the mineral halite common salt?
NaClCommon salt is sodium chloride. The chemical formula for sodium chloride is NaCl, which means it contains one atom of sodium (Na) and one atom of chlorine (Cl).
What chemical classification group dose halite belong to?
Halite belongs to the mineral group halides.
Is halite dissolving in water mechanical wethering?
No, chemical because it involves water and water is a subject of Chemical Weathering not Mechanical.
What are the different types of weatheing?
There are two different types of weathering regarding rocks. Chemical weathering involves decomposition or dissolution of a rock. Examples of chemical weathering include halite being dissolved to form salt water and calcite decomposing to calcium and bicarbonate ions in aqueous solution. Physical, or mechanical, weathering can be cracking, scratching, crushing, abrasion, or other physical changes to rocks. Big rocks are weathered into broken pieces which can be further broken down into crystals and logs animal shells are reduced to peat and shell gravel.
What is the chemical symbol for halite?
Halite is sodium chloride, NaCl.
What is the chemical name of halite?
Halite is sodium chloride, NaCl.
What chemical classifacation does halite belong?
Halite is sodium chloride (NaCl).
Is halite clastic or chemical?
Halite (sodium chloride) is not a clastic mineral; it is an evaporite.
What minerals are susceptible to chemical weathering by dissolution?
Your question is somewhat odd, you use the words "chemical weathering" and "dissolution" together.Chemical weathering is usually a process of weathering by "solution" in which case the minerals susceptible to this would be:- Carbonates and halides.Dissolution means decomposition into fragments or parts, a disintegration or liquefaction. There are some minerals that will do this, for instance Iron Pyrites.
Why do halite and sodium chloride have the same chemical formula?
Because halite is also sodium chloride.
What is chemical name of rock salt?
halite
What is Rock salt chemical name?
halite
Whats the chemical name for 25 NaCi?
The chemical name for NaCi is Halite.
To which chemical classification group does halite belong?
Halides
