How chemical weathering turns some sandstones into a pile of sand?
Wiki User
∙ 14y ago
For chemical weathering to turn a sandstone into a pile of sand, the sandstone would have to have been cemented by a mineral that was easily attacked by weakly acidic rainfall, most likely calcite. The acidic rainfall would dissolve the cementing material through chemical reaction, leaving the chemically resistant sand grains behind.

What is the chemical equation for a moose?
A moose? A moose has the same chemical equations going on as any large herbivorous animal, and there are a pile of them.
Why does a pile of small rocks wear away more quickly than a single solid boulder of the same size?
There is more surface area available to attack from the processes of weathering.
What happens to the mass of a pile of dry leaves when they are burned?
The leaves turn into ash and carbon dioxide and water vapor but the mass remains the same (unless you are looking at this answer in relativistic terms, in which case, a very small amount of mass turns into energy).

Is a pile of CaCO3 a compound or a element or something else?
Calcium carbonate is a chemical compound.
Why is a compost pile an analogy for the mitrochondria?
The creation of energy is a reason for why a compost pile is an analogy for the mitochondria. A compost pile makes dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich organic matter by breaking down carbon- and nitrogen-rich recyclables through the interactions of air, heat, macro- and micro-organisms, and moisture. The mitochondria turns nutrients in animal and plant food into adrenosine triphosphate (ATP) to generate the chemical energy for sustaining life.

What type of heat energy does a compost pile release?
Chemical, microbial, physical, and solar sources are behind the type of heat energy which a compost pile releases. A compost pile's carbon- and nitrogen-rich recyclables interact with environmental oxygen and sunlight. Potential or stored energy is released by the temperature-coded feedings of macro- and micro-organisms within the pile, with chemical decomposition effected by actinomycetes and aerobic bacteria and fungi and physical by ants, beetles, centipedes, earthworms, flatworms, flies, millipedes, nematodes, rotifers, slugs, snails, sowbugs, spiders, and springtails.
Is a decaying compost pile an example of physical change?
No, a decaying compost pile is not an example of a physical change. The process of composting results in a different physical appearance or state -- which is physical change -- but it is not reversible and necessitates a change in structure -- which is chemical change.
What important discovery did Alessandro Volta make?
Allassandra Volta invented the first chemical cell battery, which was originally called a voltaic pile.
