Does carbonic acid dissolve every mineral?
yes
What is formed when carbon dioxide is added to a water solution?
A small amount of carbon dioxide will dissolve in water to produce carbonic acid, a weak acid.
What is carbonic acid abd how does it effect chemical weathering process?
Carbonic acid is an acid formed by diluting co2 in water. It weathers calcite minerals by reaction with them (Lime stone)
When carbon dioxide dissolves in water what does it yield?
Under pressure, carbon dioxide will dissolve in water to produce carbonic acid, H2CO3.
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.
How does carbonic acid help to erode granite.?
Carbonic acid can dissolve some components of granite.
Can carbonic acid dissolve in water?
Yes
How does carbonic acid weather rocks?
Carbonic Acid can change the chemical composition of minerals and rocks.
Explain how carbonic acid weather rocks?
Carbonic Acid can change the chemical composition of minerals and rocks.
Does carbonic acid dissolve every mineral?
yes
What role of gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide in chemical weathering?
Oxygen causes oxidation reactions; carbon dioxide with water (as carbonic acid) dissolve minerals.
Does carbon dioxide dissolve into water?
Yes, it can to form carbonic acid.
What acids in coke dissolve your bone?
citric, phosphoric and carbonic acid by Geordi
