Answer:

Filling in the blank, this is an example of <u>chemical weathering</u> which happens <u>to rocks</u> overtime.

Explanation:

Chemical weathering occurs when rocks are disintegrated by chemicals.

Rain water becomes acid rain when it reacts with carbon dioxide in the atmosphere (to form carbonic acid, HCO3).

When acidic rainwater falls and stays on rocks, chemical reactions take place with the minerals present in the rock, causing the rock to weather.

Areas with immense carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide pollution increases rain water acidity, which in turn causes moisture in the atmosphere to dissolve these gases and produce acid rain.

Answer:

Chemical weathering; to exposed rock surfaces.

Explanation:

Weathering involves the process in which rocks are being broken down that is to say the wearing and dissolution of exposed rock surfaces. And one of the agents of weathering is acid. There are different types of weathering but the one that concerns this question is known as chemical weathering.

Chemical weathering occurs when Acidic gas such as Carbondioxide combines with water vapour in the atmosphere to produce acidic rain which is known as the carbonic acid. When this acidic rain react with limestone it can form caves.

A 0.175 m weak acid acid solution has ph of 3.25 find ka for the acid
Elenna [48]
The acid dissociation constant or Ka is a value used to measure the strength of a specific acid in solution. For a general dissociation of an acid solution,

HA = H+ + A-

we express Ka as follows:

Ka = [H+] [A-] / [HA]

Where the terms represents the concentrations of the acid and the ions. Assuming that the weak acid in the problem is HA, we first calculate for the concentration of H+ from the pH.

pH = - log [H+]
3.25 = - log [H+]
[H+] = 0.0005623 M

By the ICE table, we can calculate the equilibrium concentrations,
        HA      =      H+            +        A-
I      0.175           0                         0
C      -x               +x                      +x
 --------------------------------------------------
E  .174438    0.0005623       0.0005623

Ka = (0.0005623) (0.0005623) / .174438
Ka = 1.81x10^-6
