Answer:

The sedimentary rock limestone which contains carbonate mineral Calcite and the metamorphic rocks which contain carbonate mineral Aragonite are the examples of rocks which react strongly with hydrochloric acid.

Explanation:

Rocks are naturally occurring structures formed on the Earth's crust and are composed of aggregate minerals. Classification of rocks: Igneous rocks - formed by cooling of magma on Earth's crust or seabed (basalts, gabbros, granite, etc), sedimentary rocks - formed over time by the accumulation of sediments from the weathering of existing rocks or fragments of minerals and organisms (mudstone, sandstone, shale, limestone, dolostone, siltstone, etc) and metamorphic rocks - transformed rocks formed from the existing rocks that are subjected to large pressures and temperatures (schists, gneiss, marble, etc).

The carbonate minerals like calcite, dolomite, aragonite, etc react with hydrochloric acid and release carbon dioxide gas bubbles. Calcite (calcium carbonate), which is found in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks in a varying proportion reacts strongly with hydrochloric acid. So, the sedimentary rock Limestone which mainly contains calcite react strongly with the acid while Dolostone which mainly contains dolomite (calcium magnesium carbonate) reacts less vigorously. Another carbonate mineral aragonite, found in metamorphic rocks also reacts strongly with hydrochloric acid.

Design an experiment that answers this question: "how is stomach acid neutralized in the small intestine?"
Lelechka [254]
The stomach normally secretes acid that is essential in the digestive process and this helps in the breaking down of food during digestion.

Which of the following statements is not based on climate change denial
Doss [256]

The correct answer is A.The climate is changing rapidly but it will be too expensive to fix.

Explanation:

Climate change involves important long-term changes in climate patterns as well as other features on land and bodies of water. This phenomenon has occurred naturally during the history of Earth; however, nowadays climate change has accelerated due to human activities that produce global warming and therefore the increase in temperatures and changes in climate.

Despite this, some deny climate change, which is known as climate change denial; this includes stating climate change does not exist, it is an exaggeration or a hoax, or considering it is the result of natural cycles. According to this, the only statement that is not based on climate change denial is "The climate is changing rapidly but it will be too expensive to fix" because in this statement the speaker recognizes climate change is real and considers it is a serious issue that might be difficult to solve.
