What happens in chemical weathering?
Chemical Weathering occurs in warm and humid regions. it involves four major processes namely; a) Oxidation- the process in which the atmosperic oxygen reacts with the rock tp produce oxides. b) Carbonation- the process by which various types of carbonates ar formed, some of which are soluble in water. c) Hydration- the process by which water is absorbed by the minerals of the rock. d) Solution- the process in which some of the minerals get dissolved in water. They are therefore removed in solution.
Is compounds containing metals always soluble in water?
By soluble I presume you mean soluble in water and, in that case, the answer is, some are and some are not. For example, Ferric Oxide Fe2O3, usually known as rust, is not soluble in water, whereas Sodium Chloride NaCl, usually known as table salt, is soluble in water.
What are three common evaporite minerals?
Evaporite minerals are water-soluble mineral sediments that were formed from precipitation. The three common evaporite minerals are gypsum, anhydrite and halite.
In which is KNO3 soluble benzene hexane or water?
Potassium nitrate is soluble in water, as it is an ionic solid. When dissolved in water, potassium nitrate will form an aqueous solution of potassium and nitrate ions.
A mineral with a salty taste?
There are many minerals that taste salty. One example is halite, also known as rock salt. Minerals with taster are sometimes water soluble.
What happens to minerals in the soil before they can get into roots?
They have to be soluble in water - dissolved
Why must fertilizers be soluble in water?
Because plants take up water with the minerals they require dissolved in them.
Why are minerals that are highly water soluble difficult to find in large deposits or are found only in dry regions?
There is a lot of water on earth. A lot of it. And it is continually recycled. It has a tendency to wash anything that is water soluble into the ocean, where it remains dissolved as the water cycle continues. This has been happening for millions and millions of years, and a lot of water soluble minerals have been dissolved in seawater over that time.In contrast, we can find water soluble minerals in dry regions. In places where it is extremely arid, there is so little precipitation that the water soluble minerals haven't been dissolved and washed away like they have been in other regions.
What does in soluble mean?
Soluble means a substance can be dissolved. For example, salt is soluble in water. It is able to be dissolved.
Are minerals fat-soluble or water soluble?

How are soluble impurities removed during a recrystallization?
Soluble impurities are removed by a process of vacuum filtration
What impurity is removed during the recrystallization process?
Only those impurities can be removed which are soluble in solvent used.
Which term describe a substance that can be dissolved?
Soluble
Which term describes a substance that can be dissolved in a solution?
"soluble"
What is the name for a substance that can be dissolved?
soluble
Capable of being dissolved?
Solubility: The ability of one substance to dissolve in another at a given temperature and pressure
Notice that in the city waterworks slouble impurities are not removed from water why do you think is not necessary?
This is not nessesory because most of the soluble impurities are minarals and minerals are healthy for our body.This why the city waterworks allow the soluble impurities
