Halite (sodium chloride) is not a clastic mineral; it is an evaporite.
No, Silicate means containing Silica (Si). The formula for halite is NaCl, so it is non-silicate.
clastic
It is clastic
No, sedimentary rocks formed from fragments of other rocks are called clastic sedimentary rocks. Chemical sedimentary rocks form from minerals that are dissolved in water and precipitate out to form rocks like limestone or halite.
Halite is sodium chloride, NaCl.
Halite is sodium chloride, NaCl.
The chemical sedimentary rock will not be composed of cemented rock particles.
None of the above. These terms describe sedimentary rocks. Granite is igneous.
Clastic Sedimentary Rock- Sedimnetary rocks formed from fragments of rocks cemented together by minerals such as calcite.Chemical Sedimentary Rock- Sedimentary rocks formed from a solution of minerals (such as halite) and water.Organice Sedimentary Rocks- Sedimentary Rocks formed from the remaints of dead sea animals and seashells.
Halite is sodium chloride (NaCl).
It is none of these. Clastic, organic, and chemical are terms for classifying sedimentary rock. Rhyolite is igneous.
Halite dissolving in water is a chemical process. When halite (sodium chloride) comes into contact with water, it dissociates into its constituent ions (sodium and chloride) through a chemical reaction. This process alters the chemical composition of the halite, distinguishing it from mechanical processes, which do not change the chemical structure of materials.
