How can dolomite be chemically weathered by rain water?

Dolomite can be chemically weathered by rainwater through a process called carbonation. Rainwater, which is slightly acidic due to dissolved carbon dioxide, reacts with dolomite to form carbonic acid. This acid then reacts with the dolomite, dissolving it and releasing calcium and magnesium ions into the rainwater.

What is the name of the acid found within rainwater?

It's because there is already natural CO2 in the rain water (from the atmosphere), and CO2 is an acidic gas. In today's world, there is no such thing as unpolluted water. We have successfully polluted the atmosphere and our earth. Our water is full of hydrocarbons, pharmaceuticals, and a plethora of other toxins/pollutants.


What weak substance does carbon dissolve into in rainwater?

Carbon dissolves into carbonic acid when it interacts with rainwater. This occurs as carbon dioxide from the atmosphere mixes with water, forming carbonic acid, a weak acid. This process contributes to the natural acidity of rainwater, which can influence soil and water chemistry.
