How does carbon dioxide in the air weather rocks?
Carbonic acid reacts chemically with limestone, which is observed as weathering. As such, carbonic acid weathering is a chemical, not physical, change.
How does carbonation chemically weather rocks?
Ø Carbonation occurs on rocks which contain calcium carbonate such as limestone and chalk. Ø Carbon dioxide dissolved in rainwater forms weaker carbonic acid that reacts with insoluble calcium carbonate, changing it into soluble bicarbonate. This takes place when rain combines with carbon dioxide or an organic acid to form a weak carbonic acid which reacts with calcium carbonate (the limestone) and forms calcium bicarbonate. Ø The reactions as follows: Ø CO2 + H2O => H2CO3 Ø Carbon dioxide + water => carbonic acid Ø H2CO3 + CaCO3 => Ca (HCO3)2 Ø Carbonic acid + calcium carbonate => calcium bicarbonate
What rock is the most affected by acid rain?
Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) easily react with acids.
What is the breakdown of a rocks mineral by water oxygen and carbon dioxide?
This is a chemical weathering.
What is the role of living organisms in the carbon cycle?
Animal's role in the carbon cycle is the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen between plants. Plants need carbon dioxide for photosynthesis, and the byproduct is oxygen that all living things need to live. Then animals breath out carbon dioxide to be in taken by plants.

How is carbon dioxide released into the air by carbonate rocks?
When acid rain reacts with the carbonate rocks, carbon dioxide is usually released into the air.
What gas is given off when acid reacts with rocks?
The most common one would be carbon dioxide, which is given off when strong acids react with rocks containing carbonates.

Why Is Normal Rain Water Slightly Acidic?
Normal rain water is slightly acidic due to dissolved carbonic acid. Rainwater absorbs carbon dioxide from the air, leading to its slight acidity. When additional carbon dioxide or sulphur dioxide is released into the air, it is absorbed into clouds and makes rain more acidic.
How is carbon dioxide put into rocks?
Carbon dioxide can form carbonates when it react with a basic substance
Does the increase of carbon dioxide accelerate or slow down the rate of chemical weathering of the earths surface rocks?
The carbon dioxide accelerate the chemical weathering of rocks.
When pop rocks pop what comes out?
carbon dioxide
When Pop Rocks 'pop' what comes out?
carbon dioxide
How is the carbon dioxide from rocks released into the atmosphere?
by means of plants
