Which of the following describes the correct order for relative solubility of minerals in sedimentary rocks?

a. evaporate minerals, quartz, and calcite all have the same relative solubility.
b. evaporate minerals are more soluble than calcite and quartz.
c. evaporate minerals are more soluble than quartz and less soluble than calcite.
d. evaporate minerals are less soluble than quartz and calcite.

Evaporate minerals are more soluble than calcite and quartz.

Explanation:

Evaporate minerals are the water soluble minerals which at higher concentration precipitate out and crystallized forming rocks.

example of chemicals present are:

chlorides and sulphates.

Quartz is silica (very less soluble, or insoluble)

Calcite is calcium carbonate, again an insoluble salt.

Thus

Evaporate minerals are more soluble than calcite and quartz.

i think it is true since you can test the answer and can use observations to complete it.
