Answer:
b. the layer of oxide formed on statues made of metal
Explanation:
Chemical weathering is a process whereby rocks are disintegrated or weathered causing a chemical reaction thereby leading to change in the parent rock constituents .
In chemical weathering a new substance is usually formed after the weathering takes place.
From the question the layer of statue made by metal will likely form oxides of those metals. Example Silver will react with oxygen to form an entirely new substance like silver(i)oxide.
The methane molecule undergoes oxidation and the carbon is oxidized to carbon dioxide and hydrogen to water.
In this reaction there is cleavage of four C-H bonds and two O=O bonds
there will be formation of two C=O bonds and four O-H bonds.
Overall due to more bond cleavage energy there will be evolution of energy. thus combustion is an exothermic reaction.
