Yes. Rust seen in a rock is an example of an iron bearing mineral oxidizing and chemically weathering the rock.

∙ 6y agoAs oxidation is the addition of free oxygen with mineral and reduction is the removal of oxygen sofree oxygen is move common near the earth surface it may react with minerals to change the oxidation state of mineral ions. this is common in Fe bearing mineral, since Fe can have several oxidation state Fe, Fe+2, Fe+3.. Deep earth the most common oxidation state of Fe is Fe+2.

Is this S8 8O2-8SO2 a precipation reaction?
It's an Oxidation-reduction
An iron nail will rust when it is left outside.what type of weathering is this?
This is an oxidation reaction.
What occurs at the cathode of a galvanic cell?
An oxidation half-reaction
What occurs in a half-cell?
Either oxidation or reduction but never both at the same time
What happens to redox reaction when it shown as half reactions?
The redox reaction is split into its oxidation part and its reduction part.
Oxidation cannot occur without?
reduction
Why must oxidation and reduction occur simultaneously?
Because for oxidation to take place the electrons lost by the substance that is oxidized must be accepted by atoms or ions of another substance. Also, for reduction to occur the electrons gained by the substance that is being reduced must be transferred from the atoms of ions of another substance. Therefore, oxidation and reduction are complementary processes: that is to say that oxidation cannot occur without reduction and visa versus.
Is it possible for oxidation to occur without reduction?
o it s not possible
What contribute to mechanical and chemical weathering?
Mechanical weathering includes abrading or crushing. Chemical weathering includes dissolution in water or acid rain. Oxidation and reduction reactions can also cause chemical weathering.
Do all oxidation-reduction reactions have in common?
They both occur simultaneously in a redox reaction.
Is oxidation mechanical or chemical weathering?
Oxidation is chemical weathering.
How the processes of oxidation and reduction related?
In a reaction where one reactant is being oxidised another reactant is necessarily being reduced. Reduction cannot occur without oxidation, and vice versa.
What type of weathering is hydrolysis?
Hydrolysis is a type of chemical weathering, which includes oxidation, reduction, carbonation, solution, and hydration. If water and a compound meet together, hydrolysis is the reaction that occurs.
Hydrolysis what type of weathering?
Hydrolysis is a type of chemical weathering, which includes oxidation, reduction, carbonation, solution, and hydration. If water and a compound meet together, hydrolysis is the reaction that occurs.
What is the relationship between oxidation and reduction?
Oxidation and Reduction reactions occur when electrons are transferred. The molecule that is oxidized loses an electron and the molecule that is reduced gains the electron that was lost by the oxidized molecule. Therefore, oxidation and reduction have to occur together.
What is the difference between oxidation and reduction?
AnswerOIL RIG is the simple answer for REDOX. It shows that oxidation is loss of electrons while reduction is the gain of electrons. It is also that they both occur simultaneously, this is a couple reaction where the electrons lost by a reductant has to be gained by an oxidant. Oxidation is also the increase in oxidation number of the element being acted upon and reduction results in the decrease of the oxidation number on the element being reduced.
What balances charges that may build up as reduction and oxidation occur in a voltaic cell?
The Zinc metal is oxidized, while the Copper ion is reduced. The reverse reaction, the oxidation of Copper and the reduction of Zinc ion, is not spontaneous.
