What effect will the increase in CO2 have on the rate of chemical weathering?

It will increase it. CO2 reacts with water to form small amounts of carbonic acid (H2CO3). The mildly acidic water that results can dissolve some minerals, particularly carbonates.

What effect would a warmer climate have on the rate of chemical weathering?
The rate would increase, assuming similar rate of precipitation.
Does the rate of chemical weathering increase or stay the same when the rocks becomes more mechanically weathered?
The rate of chemical weathering increases when a rock becomes more mechanically weathered, also called abrasion.
Climate does not effect the rate in which weathering can occur?
Nope
What do concentration surface area and temperature have in common?
They can all affect the rate of a chemical reaction.
How particle collisions that affect the rate of chemical reactions?
When the number of particle collisions increase the rate of chemical reactions also increase.
What effect would a warmer climate have on the rate of chemical weathering?
The rate would increase, assuming similar rate of precipitation.
Does the rate at which a rock undergoes chemical weathering increase or stay the same when the rock becomes more mechanically weathered why?
The rate will increase due to the increase in surface area available for attack by chemical weathering.
What are the factors that control the rate of chemical weathering and those that control the rate of physical weathering?
Temperature is another significant factor in chemical weathering because it influences the rate at which chemical interactions occur. Chemical reactions rates increase as temperatures increases. With all other factors being equal, the rate of chemical weathering reactions doubles with each 10C increase in temperature.
What do humans do to increase the rate of weathering?

As the temperature of an environment increases the rate of chemical weathering of its rocks will most likely?
Increase
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.
Does the rate of chemical weathering increase or stay the same when a rock becomes more mechanical weathered?
The rate of chemical weathering increases when a rock becomes more mechanically weathered, also called abrasion.
Does the rate of chemical weathering increase or stay the same when the rocks becomes more mechanically weathered?
The rate of chemical weathering increases when a rock becomes more mechanically weathered, also called abrasion.
How can physical weathering increase the rate of chemical weathering?
Physical weathering breaks rock down into much smaller pieces and gives the original rock a much greater surface area which, when exposed to chemical agents such as carbonic acid, reacts at a much faster rate than it would had the larger rock not undergone physical weathering.
Which long-term atmospheric changes would increase the rate of chemical weathering of surface bedrock?
increasing temperature and increasing precipitation
