What happens to the weight of sodium chloride when it is exposed to air?

When sodium chloride is exposed to air, it can absorb moisture from the air, causing it to become damp or dissolve slightly. This can increase its weight due to the addition of water molecules.


What would weather faster exposed limestone in southern Florida or exposed granite in northern Canada?

Limestone in southern Florida, because carbonic acid would make it weather faster. Another gas found in air, carbon dioxide, also causes chemical weathering. Carbon dioxide dissolves in rainwater and in water that sinks through air pockets in the soil. The result is a weak acid called carbonic acid. Carbonic acid easily weathers rocks such as marble and limestone.


Which kind of rock is most likely to form new compounds when it is exposed to air polluted with acids a gneiss b limestone c granite dschist?

Limestone is most likely to form new compounds when exposed to air polluted with acids because it contains calcium carbonate, which reacts with acids to form new compounds like calcium sulfate or calcium nitrate. Gneiss, granite, and schist are all composed of minerals that are less reactive to acids compared to limestone.


What element turns white when exposed to air?

Phosphorus is an element that turns white when exposed to air. When pure, it is a colorless and transparent waxy solid.


How do limestone quarries affect soil pH?

Limestone quarries can have a significant impact on soil pH by increasing alkalinity. When limestone is mined and exposed to air and water, it can react with these elements to release calcium carbonate, which raises pH levels and reduces soil acidity. This can have both positive and negative effects on plant growth, depending on the specific needs of the vegetation in the affected area.
