Naturally formed acids can weather rocks. When water reacts with carbon dioxcide in the air or soil, a weak acid, called Carbonic acid, forms. Carbonic acid reacts wih minerals such as calcite, which is the main mineral that makes up limestone. This reaction causes he calcite to dissolve. Over many thousands of years, carbonic acid has weathered so much limestone that caves have formed.
Chemical weathering also occurs when naturally formed acids come in contact with other rocks. Over a long period of time, the mineral feldspar, which is found in granit, some types of sandstone, and other rocks, is broken down into clay mineral called KAILINITE. Kaolinite clay is common in some soils. Clay is an end product of weathering.
kaolinite is magnetic
Kaolinite is a 2 on the Mohs Hardness Scale.
Kaolinite
luster -++
Kaolinite has a hardness of approximately 2-2.5 on the Mohs Scale. This means it is relatively soft and can be easily scratched by harder minerals.
kaolinite is magnetic
Kaolinite is a 2 on the Mohs Hardness Scale.
kaolinite is found near rivers and near areas with clay material
Kaolinite is used for the creation of ceramics and filler for paint, rubber, and plastics.
Kaolinite is classified as a clay mineral and belongs to the phyllosilicate group. It is a layered silicate mineral composed of silicon, aluminum, and oxygen. Kaolinite is known for its softness, white color, and low shrink-swell capacity.

Kaolinite has many uses because it will never breakdown and it never absorbed water. It is used in Paint, makeup, pottery even ice cream
