A small amount of carbon dioxide will dissolve in water to produce carbonic acid, a weak acid.
When carbonic acid reacts with calcite, the calcite dissolves completely. Unless the calcite is impure, no clay minerals should remain after the reaction.
The main agents for chemical weathering are water and weak acids formed in water, such as carbonic acid (H2CO3). These agents dissolve some rocks, loosen mineral grains, form clay mineral, and widen fractures.
Under pressure, carbon dioxide will dissolve in water to produce carbonic acid, H2CO3.
You can put contents of a can of Coca Cola into a load of wash to remove oily residue.
Carbonic acid can dissolve some components of granite.
Yes
carbonic acid weather rocks by changing the chemical composition of mineral in the rock.
Someone should not have placed carbonic acid in the mineral acid list. For your edification though, whether or not an acid is strong or weak has no bearing on whether or not it is a mineral acid or an organic acid. Mineral acid is any acid comprised of one or more inorganic compounds and dissociate into a hydrogen ion and conjugate base.
Yes, it can to form carbonic acid.
