Answer is 20. Since potassium has 19 electrons you know that it then has 19 protons because there is no charge change. So to get the number of neutrons, you take the average mass of 39 and subtract the number of protons and that leaves you with 20 neutrons.

Answer:

The terms used to describe the given process in <em><u>Chemical weathering.</u></em>

Explanation:

Weathering of rock is defined as breaking down of the rock into small pieces.

There are two types pf weathering :

Mechanical weathering : This weathering is due to change in physical parameters : temperature change, pressure change etc.

For example : When water soaked up in cracks or crevices of rocks freezes it expands and physically breaks the rock.

Chemical weathering : This weathering is decomposition of rocks due to action of chemicals.This type of weathering also changes chemical composition of rocks.

For example : when gases like carbon dioxide, sulfur oxide get dissolves in water present in rock to form weak acid which ease up the dissolving of rock in that weak acid.
