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.

decomposition of hydrogen peroxide produce water and oxygen . calculate the volume of O2 formed from the decomposition of 150 mL

Ugo [173]

Explanation:

2H2O2 => 2H2O + O2

Moles of hydrogen peroxide = 0.150dm³ * (0.02mol/dm³) = 0.003mol .

Moles of oxygen = 0.0015mol.

Volume of oxygen = 0.0015mol * (22.4dm³/mol) = 0.0336dm³.

Which is true about the pH values of a 1.0 M solution of HCl (a strong acid) and a 1.0 M solution of HC2H3O2 (a weak acid)?

Neko [114]

Answer:

C. pH values are different because the $HC_2H_3O_2$ solution partially ionizes and the HCl solution ionizes 100 percent.

Explanation:

Strong acids are the acids which completely ionizes in the solution while weak acids are the acids which ionizes partially in the solution. They exists in equilibrium in the solution with their respective ions.

Thus, strong acids furnish greater concentration of protons as compared to weak acid when same concentration of both types are taken.

Also, pH is the negative of the logarithm of the hydrogen ions. Thus, hydrogen ion concentration for both acids are different and thus pH will be different.
