Answer:O B. Weak acid breaks down minerals by reacting with them.

Explanation:

Chemical weathering is the process whereby rain water which sometimes can be acidic ( As rain falls down it reacts with CO2 in the atmosphere and form acid rain), This reacts with the minerals contained in rocks, dissolves and degrades them further to form entire new minerals.

An example of a rock that is greatly affected by overexposure of acid rain is limestone containing calcite which easily degrades by acid rain.

Other processes whereby Chemical weathering can occur are through reaction with water and oxygen.

The equations given in the problem introduction can be added together to give the following reaction: overall: N2O4→2NO2 However

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Reverse the $2 NO_2 \longrightarrow 2 NO + O_2$ reaction

Explanation:

Reactions:

$2 NO_2 \longrightarrow 2 NO + O_2$

$N_2O_4 \longrightarrow 2 NO + O_2$

Overall:

$N_2O_4 \longrightarrow 2 NO_2$

As can be seen, in the overall reaction we have $N_2O_4$ in the reactants like in the second reaction and $NO_2$ in the products. The $NO_2$ is in the first reaction but as a reactant so we need to reverse that reaction:

$2 NO + O_2 \longrightarrow 2 NO_2$

$N_2O_4 \longrightarrow 2 NO + O_2$

Combining:

$N_2O_4 + 2 NO + O_2\longrightarrow 2 NO + O_2 + 2 NO_2$

$N_2O_4 \longrightarrow 2 NO_2$

Which of the following statements is true about an endergonic reaction? ∆G is positive ∆G is negative ∆S is negative

Mazyrski [523]

The answer is the first option, ∆G is positive. Endergonic reaction is a chemical reaction where the Gibbs free of energy is positive and there is abosrption of energy. It is a nonspontaneous reaction or unfavorable reaction.
