Rocks are made up of different compounds. Gases like nitrogen, oxygen and water vapour and some non-metallic oxides react with these compounds to form new compounds and then break down into fine particles, due to breaking of bonds between the atoms, caused by the reaction of gases.This leads to break down of rocks into fine particles

Some rocks are sedimental. They are soft. Rocks are made out of gases etc. So some of the gas in the air makes a reaction with the rock which helps break the rock down.

How glass tube filed with acidified potassium dichromate detect drunken driver
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The reaction between alcohol and acidified potassium dichromate  is a redox reaction. This reaction can be used to detect a drunken driver.

Alcohols can be oxidized to aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids depending on the structure of the alcohol. Primary alcohols yield adehydes and carboxylic acids while secondary alcohols are oxidized to ketones.

The colour of the acidified potassium dichromate turns from orange to green when exposed to alcohols from the breath of a drunken driver.
