When atmospheric carbon dioxide reacts with water in the atmosphere, it forms carbonic acid. This acid can then react with some

forms of rock, weakening it and changing its chemical composition. What is this known as?

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.

Does temperature have an affect on a magnets strength
Vlad [161]
If magnets are heated to the Curie point, they lose their ability to be magnetic. ... Cooling causes the molecules in the magnet to have less kinetic energy. This means that there is less vibration in the magnet's molecules, allowing the magnetic field they create to be more consistently concentrated in a given direction.

This is not the best way to organize a periodic table because two elements might have similar atomic mass.

<h3>What is periodic table?</h3>

Periodic table is a chart in which arrangement of chemical elements are done.

In the early periodic table elements are arranged on the basis of their atomic masses, while after sometime Moseley arranged the periodic table on the basis of atomic number as he proposed that properties of an element is justified on the basis of number if electrons.

And mass of two substances may be same so it is difficult to differentiate between them.

Hence, two elements might have similar atomic mass.
