The two main types of weathering are material and chemical.
Mechanical weathering is the disintegration of rock into smaller and smaller fragments.
Chemical weathering transforms the original material into a substance with a different composition and different physical characteristics.
Answer:
Rate depends on the rate constant. The rate constant depends on temperature and activation energy. If you have lower activation energy the rate will be higher. This is why catalysts are added since catalysts provide an alternate pathway that requires lower activation energy and catalysts are added to increase the rate of reaction.
Explanation:
This is only the answer if you were asking:
"Which corresponds to the faster rate: a mechanism with a small activation energy or one with a large activation energy?"
Thats what I understood about your question.
For this, we first calculate molecular weight of MgSiO₃:
Atomic masses:
Mg = 24
Si = 28
O = 16
Mr = 24 + 28 + 16 x 3
Mr = 100
moles = mass / Mr
moles = 237 / 100
moles = 2.37
Answer:
Decreases
Explanation:
The atmospheric pressure on the surface of the mercury pushes it up the evacuated tube until the downward pressure of the mercury equals the atmospheric pressure.
If the atmospheric pressure decreases, the mercury doesn't have to rise as high.
The mercury height decreases.
