The atmospheric gas that forms a mild acid when dissolved in water is carbon dioxide. <span> The inscription on a marble gravestone to become harder and harder to read over time is caused by chemical weathering. Biological evolution is NOT a factor that affects the rate of weathering in rocks.</span>

The answers are;

  1. Carbon dioxide
  2. Chemical weathering
  3. Biological Evolution


1. Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere mixes with rainwater for form carbonic acid;

CO2 + H2O  H2CO3 (a reversible reaction)

It is a weak acid because it dissociates partly in water with a pH of about 5.



2. Chemical weathering on the marble gravestone is due to rain. The rain is slightly acid because it has to dissolve carbon dioxide to form carbonic acid. The carbonic acid dissolves marble  (composed of largely calcium carbonate);

H2CO3 + CaCO3  Ca(HCO3)2 aq (CaHCO2 is soluble)



3. Biological evolution does not affect weathering of rock. Climate does. The higher the temperatures the rainfall, the higher the rate of weathering. Soft rocks like limestone are easily eroded by rainwater that rocks like quartz. The higher the surface area of rock exposed to these elements the higher their rate of weathering.

The second meiotic division is essentially a mitotic division except for the fact that the cells produced are
Rashid [163]
Haploid. This means that the cells produced during the second meiotic division contains only one set of chromosomes. During mitotic division, the cells produced are diploid. This means that they contain two sets of chromosome. There is a pair of each chromosome. However, a haploid cell contains only one chromosome out of the pair. The production of haploid cells by the second meiotic division produces gametes or sex cells. It is essential that gametes have only one set of chromosomes since gametes combine during sexual reproduction. It then allows for the correct two sets of chromosomes to be found in the offspring.

According to Thorndike's law of effect,
blagie [28]

Thorndike's law of effect is described below.

Explanation:

  • Operant Conditioning. A form of associative learning in which the consequences of a behavior change the probability of the behavior's occurance. According to Thorndike's Law of Effect. Behaviors followed by bad results are less likely to occur and behaviors followed by good results are more likely to occur again.
  • The law of effect is a psychology principle advanced by Edward Thorndike in 1898 on the matter of behavioral conditioning (not then formulated as such) which states that "responses that produce a satisfying effect in a particular situation become more likely to occur again in that situation, and responses that produce
  • Thorndike's Law of Effect states that a response followed by a pleasant consequence is more likely to be repeated, whereas a response followed by an unpleasant consequence is more likely to be diminished. ... This special stimulus has the effect of increasing the behavior occurring just before the reinforcer.
  • Law of effect. Law of Effect. The law of effect states that if a response in the presence of a stimulus is followed by a satisfying event, the association between the stimulus and the response is strengthened.
