Is temperature a chemical change?
Temperature change is not a chemical change.
How does increasing the temperature effect a chemical reaction?
Raising the temperature makes chemical reactions faster.
What does lowering the temperature have on the speed of most chemical reactions?
The molecules will have less energy because temperature, especially heat, proviedes energy and the chemical reaction will take place in a lesser amount of time than with a chemical reaction under high temperature.
Does the change of temperature will slow or faster the chemical reaction?
No, an increase in temperature will speed up the reaction. This is because the heat energy is transferred into kinetic energy (movement energy) in the reactors and this increases their speed and so increases the rate at which they collide with each other, increasing the rate of the chemical reaction.
Is condensation a physical or chemical property?
Yes. It is the temperature at which a gas condenses into a liquid.
What is the chemical sediments?
Chemical sediments are mineral precipitate :)
What is compaction and cementation?
Compaction does not necessarily cause materials to stick together. Cementation is more like having a binding material between the layers. Even compaction CAN result in binding together of materials such as sandstone.
Compare and contrast clastic sediments with chemical sediments?

How do chemical sediments produce rock?
Chemical sediments, when conditions are right, precipitates to form chemical sediments. This precipitation occurs one of two ways, by physical processes, or by biochemical origin.
What is one product of chemical weathering?
the product of weathering issand clay and rock fragments
Chemical sediments and its example rocks?
what are the chemical sediments example? An example would be salt. As seawater evaporates from a surface, what is left is salt.
How do sediments form?
Firstly, sediments are solid fragments of inorganic or organic material. The bulk of sediment is formed from the weathering of rock, wherein the rock is broken into smaller and smaller pieces by a variety of chemical and mechanical processes, including acidic rainfall, freeze/thaw cycles, and the actions of organisms.
How many steps are there to create a clastic sedimentary rock?
# Weathering--the physical or chemical breakdown of rock into smaller particles. # Erosion--occurs when water, wind, ice, or gravity transport the rock particles. # Deposition-- the process by which sediment settles out of the water, wind, or ice carrying it. # Compaction- the process that presses sediments together, squeezing out air and fluids from spaces between particles. # Cementation- the process in which dissolved minerals crystalize and glue particles of sediment together. Note: it takes millions of years for compaction and cementation to transform loose sediments into solid sedimentary rock
What is the sedimentation?
Chemical sediments are mineral precipitate :)
What is the difference between siliciclastic and chemical or biochemical sedimentary rocks?
1) Chemical and biological sedimentary rocks are produced by chemical weathering instead of the siliciclastic sediments which are created by physical weathering. Because physical weathering is much more often than the chemical weathering there are 10 times more clastic sediments in the earth's crust than chemical and biological sediments.
Explain the difference between organized and unorganized sediments in urine?
Organized sediments are epithelial cells. pus cells (WBCs), RBCs and casts. Unorganized sediments are chemical substances that form crystals.
What processes do sediments have to go through to form sedimentary rocks?
Diagnesis. Diagnesis, can be defined as the combined process of gradual and contineous accumulation, stratification, compactation, sedimentation, cementation, and lithification of transported and deposited debrises, detrituses, regoliths and other earths disintegrated materials, to form sedimentary rocks over a long period of time.
