What are two different kinds of rock that are easily weathered by carbonic acid?

1 answer:

8 0

Limestone and marble are the two rocks that are easily weathered by carbonic acid. Two kinds of weathering mostly affect the rocks. and they are physical weathering and chemical weathering. The above mentioned two rocks are highly affected by carbonic acid. The appeareance of these kind of rocks change their structure due to erosion very regularly. Caronation is the type of chemical weathering that affects the rocks limestone and marble. The carbonic acide is formed by the reaction of carbon dioxide in the air and water in the rivers. This carbonic acid results in weathering.

If the enthalpy change of a reaction in a flask is δh = +67 kj, what can be said about the reaction?

ziro4ka [17]

Answer : Normally in any chemical reaction, if the enthalpy change i.e. ΔH is positive which means it is greater than zero then it can be called as an Endothermic Reaction.

Whereas, the system under study is absorbing heat that is produced during the reaction. So if ΔH is found to be positive then it can be called as endothermic reaction.

Given below is the balanced equation for the combustion of decane. 2C10H22 (l) + 31O2 (g) --> 20CO2 (g) + 22H2O (g) What is t

Aleks [24]

Answer: The ratio of carbon dioxide molecules to oxygen molecules is 20 :31

Explanation:

Combustion is a chemical reaction in which hydrocarbons are burnt in the presence of oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water.

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

The balanced combustion reaction is,:

$2C_{10}H_{22}(l)+31O_2(g)\rightarrow 20CO_2(g)+22H_2O(g)$

Thus the ratio of carbon dioxide molecules to oxygen molecules is 20 : 31
