How can acids cause chemical weathering

Chemistry

Acid rain slowly dissolves rocks due to chemical reactions between the acid and the minerals in the rock. Differential Weathering: Softer, less resistant rocks wear away at a faster rate than more weather resistant rocks. More exposure to acid rain results in more rapid weathering.

You have 100 mL of a 12M solution of HCl, and you need to dilute it to 1.5M for an experiment. How many liters will your new sol
sashaice [31]

Answer:

800.0 mL.

Explanation:

  • To solve this problem; we must mention the rule states the no. of millimoles of a substance before and after dilution is the same.

<em>(MV)before dilution of HCl = (MV)after dilution of HCl</em>

M before dilution = 12.0 M, V before dilution = 100.0 mL.

M after dilution = 1.5 M, V after dilution = ??? mL.

∵ (MV)before dilution of HCl = (MV)after dilution of HCl

∴ (12.0 M)(100.0 mL) = (1.5 M)(V after dilution of HCl)

<em>∴ V after dilution of HCl = (12.0 M)(100.0 mL)/(1`.5 M) = 800.0 mL.</em>

In acid rain, nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides from emissions cause a change in the normal pH level. Which of the following is
kow [346]

The pH levels of acid rain are very acidic; in the range of 2.0-3.0, is not true for acid rain.

Answer: D

Explanation

Acid rain is termed for the rain which contains acidic precipitations.

The precipitations of acids are generally made up of sulfuring and nitric acid.

The sulfuric and nitric acids were formed by the chemical reaction occurring between the water, oxygen and other chemicals present in the atmosphere with the sulfur-di-oxide and nitrous oxide emitted in the atmosphere due to burning of natural resources, fossil fuels, etc.

The chemical reaction of these oxides with water, oxygen and other chemicals leads to formation of acids.

Some of the oxides are emitted from burning of natural resources while the major emissions occur from burning of fossil fuels.

Also the oxides react in atmosphere to form acids.

So the options (A),(B) and (C) are true for acid rain.

But the option (D) is not true as the acid rain is not much acidic in nature, as it is getting dissolved in water so the range of acidity is 4.2-4.4 and not 2.0-3.0.
