How can chemical weathering contribute to physical weathering?

Chemistry

5 0

A-leads to the abrasion of rocks and minerals

A-dense vegetation cover

True

Explanation:

Weathering is the physical disintegration and chemical decomposition of rocks to form sediments and soils.

Agent of weathering are wind, water and glacier.

Chemical weathering contributes to physical weathering in that it leads to the abrasion of rocks and minerals.

During chemical weathering, a rock chemically combines with materials in the environment and weakens it.

When physical weathering processes are induced, grains produced independently weakening of bonds in rocks grind against one another and wears each other off.

An area with a dense vegetation cover undergoes rapid chemical weathering:

  • Plant roots penetrates deep into the rock and increases the surface area of chemical action.
  • Plants produce chemicals that combines with rocks and causes them to decay.
  • Since the area is always moist, chemical action becomes more severe.

Buildings and statues made of stone are subjected to the same degree of weathering as rocks exposed naturally.

This is true.

Statues and buildings weather just like rocks we find in nature.

It is the same sunshine and rain that impacts rocks that also impacts buildings and statues.

So they degrade at the same rate except they are protected.

Which is denser 10g of shampoo or 10kg of the same shampoo? Please explain! Thanks!
docker41 [41]
They have the same density because a material, no matter how much of it there is, will always be a certain density. A 40g ball of iron has the same density as a 1g ball of iron.

A diatomic molecule shares three pairs of electrons. What type of bond is present in the molecule? A single covalent bond becaus
VMariaS [17]
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

A triple covalent bond because each atom requires three more electrons to complete its octet.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • A triple covalent bond is a covalent bond formed by atoms that share three pairs of electrons.
  • For example;<em><u> in a diatomic molecule such a nitrogen; A nitrogen atom has five valence electrons, which can be shown as one pair and three single electrons. </u></em>When combining with another nitrogen atom to form a diatomic molecule, the three single electrons on each atom combine to form three shared pairs of electrons.

Fe3+(aq) (yellow) + SCN-(aq) (colorless) FeSCN2+(aq) (blood-red) Chloride ions are colorless. Potassium ions are also colorless.
harina [27]

Explanation:

Fe^{3+}\text{(aq)(yellow)}+SCN^-\text{(aq)(colorless)}\rightleftharpoons FeSCN^{2+}\text{(aq)(blood-red)}

K^+\text{(aq)(colorless)}+Cl^-\text{(aq)(colorless)}\rightarrow KCl

The above two reactions xcan also be written in form of single chemcial equation:

FeCl_3+K(SCN)\rightleftharpoons KCl+[Fe(SCN)]Cl_2(blood-red)

1. Color of ferric chloride solution is yellow. This is due to presence of ferric ions which have yellow color in their aqueous solutions.

2. KSCN has the colorless solution. This due to potassium ion forms colorless aqueous solution.

3. On mixing, KSCN with FeCl_3 we will get blood red color solution of [FeSCN]Cl_2.
