4) Describe how sedimentary rocks
are formed? (4)
Answer.
• Formed from layers of sediments
(silt, animals, plants).
• Over millions of years pressure
from layers above,
• squeezes out the water and
compresses them.
• Finally cemented together

in appearance between extrusive and
intrusive igneous rocks.
• Intrusive rock: Contain large
crystals
• Extrusive rocks: Contain small
crystals

16) Give some advantages of quarrying
limestone. (3)
Answer
• Provides products like houses, roads, paints and medicine.
• Used to neutralise acidic soil and water ways.
• Used in power station chimneys to neutralise acidic gases (SO2 which
causes acid rain).
• Brings money, jobs and local improvements (e.g roads) into the local
environment.

22) What are the balanced symbol
equation for the thermal
decomposition of
a) Copper Carbonate
b) Zinc Carbonate
Answer

b) ZnCO3 ----- ZnO + CO2
C1 TOPIC 2
M. Rahman
23) How is thermal stability of
different metal carbonates
determined? (3)
Answer (any of the three following point)
• Heat the carbonate in a boiling tube,
• Pipe off the gas given off (CO2) into limewater.
• The CO2 will turn the limewater milky.
• Least stable carbonate will decompose faster and
the lime water will turn milky more quickly.
