If you consider the options given, three imply that they include water! On answer B, frost is semi-frozen moisture. If your grass /lawn is dry and brown, you'll be unlikely to see frost develop because there is no moisture present. For answer C the prefix of the word is "hydro-" which means water. On D, a solution means liquid--while the solution might not specifically contain H2O or contain very much H20, it is still liquid based. So that brings us to A, oxidation. The prefix implies oxygen is present. Oxygen does not contain water. This thinking process is how you figure out the answer for these kinds of multiple choice questions.

Hydrolysis what type of weathering?
Hydrolysis is a type of chemical weathering, which includes oxidation, reduction, carbonation, solution, and hydration. If water and a compound meet together, hydrolysis is the reaction that occurs.
What is the differences between physical weathering and chemical weathering of granite?
Physical weathering is: frost, crystallization, exfoliation,, biological and pressure release. Chemcal weathering: anything with chemicals in it like carbonation, hydrolysis, solution, oxidation and hydration.
When is chemical weathering most rapid?
hot and wet
The reaction of NH4NO3 with water to form an acidic solution is called a oxidation b hydrolysis C electrolysis D reduction?
B
What type of chemical weathering is caused when rocks sit in a pool of saltwater?
Solution weathering is caused when rocks sit in a pool of saltwater.
What type of weathering is hydrolysis?
Hydrolysis is a type of chemical weathering, which includes oxidation, reduction, carbonation, solution, and hydration. If water and a compound meet together, hydrolysis is the reaction that occurs.

What are two types of physical weathering?
1. Oxidation. 2. Carbonation. 3. Hydration. 4. Solution. 5. Hydrolysis.
Is a type of weathering caused by chemical reaction with water?
yes, liquid water is a unit of chemical weathering. ice is a unit of physical weathering.
What cause chemical weathering?
Chemical weathering of rocks is caused by a chemical reaction. Factors such as dissolution, carbonation, oxidation, or hydrolysis of rocks are factors of chemical weathering.
When is chemical weathering most rapid?
hot and wet
The reaction of NH4NO3 with water to form an acidic solution is called a oxidation b hydrolysis C electrolysis D reduction?
B
What is the difference between acidic and alkaline hydrolysis?
Acidic hydrolysis: hydrolysis in an acid solution (pH under 7) Basic hydrolysis: hydrolysis in a basic solution (pH above 7)
What is the difference between oxidation and hydrolysis?
Oxidation is a reaction in which an atom, molecule or compound loses an electron. OIL = Oxidation Is Lost; RIG= Reduction Is Gain LEO = Lose Electron in Oxidation; GER = Gain Electron in Reduction (LEO the lion says GER) Hydrolysis is a reaction in which a molecule or compound is broken down, by the addition of a water molecule (it is NOT the breaking of a water molecule into oxygen and hydrogen - that is a different reaction called electrolysis). An example of hydrolysis is the breaking down of maltose into 2 glucose molecules. A molecule of water is added, usually with an acid to catalyse the reaction, into a solution of maltose. You can therefore say that hydrolysis is a type of oxidation reaction, being as maltose loses glucose molecule (hence losing the electrons in the atoms of glucose).
