What would happen to the oral cavity if the pH of saliva is acidic?
If the pH of saliva is acidic, it can lead to demineralization of the teeth, erosion of the enamel, and increased risk of dental caries. It can also cause irritation to the soft tissues in the mouth, leading to discomfort and potential issues such as mouth sores.
How do silicone and oxygen form sand?
Silicon and oxygen combine to form silicon dioxide (SiO2), which is the chemical compound found in sand. Sand is primarily made up of small particles of silicon dioxide that have been weathered and eroded from rocks over time.
Caverns form when rocks such as limestone are dissolved by a mixture of water and?
Limestone is made mostly of calcium carbonate and calcium sulfate. Limestone is eroded by water as the calcium carbonate and calcium sulfate of the stone disolves into running water. Also a factor: other things dissolved in the water. Carbon Dioxide disassociates in water becoming carbonic acid. This means that the more Carbon Dioxide in the water, the more acidic it is. The more acidic the water, the faster erosion can occur. When acidic ground water packed with lots of carbon dioxide is saturated with minerals - dissolved limestone - and that water enters an air filled chamber, the amount of mineral it can hold can suddenly change. This causes excess mineral to come out of solution as the water drips off the ceiling and onto the floor below into structures called Speleothem. .Think rock Icicle.
What is the difference between mechanical and chemical process?
I don't think so, mechanical change is when you use something to change the appearance of the object (your Jaw and food for example). Physical change can be caused bye a chemical substance and by and object ( mechanical change ) You welcome :)
What happens when a dilute solution of hydrochloric acid is poured on a limestone rock?
When hydrochloric acid is poured on limestone rock, a chemical reaction occurs where the acid dissolves the limestone, releasing carbon dioxide gas. This reaction forms calcium chloride and water as products. Over time, the limestone will be eroded by the acid.
Is Rocks are eroded to fine sand a chemical or physical change?
Physical
How do you clean eroded metal?
We can use: - mechanical polishing - chemical polishing
Can polluted air break down rocks?
Human pollution is generally acidic. Sometimes, the pollution can contaminate rainclouds or other sources of water, forming an acidic liquid. If a rock has contact with this substance, it could be eroded chemically.
Is Acid rain damaging a marble statue is a physical chane?
Yes, acid rain damaging a marble statue is considered a physical change. The chemical composition of the marble remains the same, but the surface of the statue is physically eroded by the acidic components in the rain, leading to visible changes on the surface.
Is a rock being eroded by the wind a physical change?
Yes, a rock being eroded by wind is just being broken down into smaller pieces. The chemical constituents of the rock remain the same.
What type of rock is most easily dissolved by slightly acidic groundwater?
Limestone is the type of rock that is most easily dissolved by slightly acidic groundwater. This is due to its high calcium carbonate content, which can be easily weathered and eroded by the acidic water, causing the rock to dissolve over time.
How long does it take for acidic water to erode rock?
The time it takes for acidic water to erode rock varies significantly depending on factors such as the rock type, the acidity level of the water, and environmental conditions. Generally, softer rocks like limestone can be eroded within a few years to decades by acidic water, while harder rocks like granite may take thousands to millions of years. The rate of erosion is also influenced by the flow rate of the water and the presence of other chemical agents.
What do mechanical and chemical weathering have in common?
What mechanical and chemical weathering have in common is they both break rocks down into smaller and smaller pieces. Eventually the weathered rock will be eroded.
Main tips of sedimentray rocks are?
Clastic--formed from eroded rock particles Chemical--formed from the precipitation of chemically saturated solutions.
How do you care for enamel?
Avoid acidic drinks, foods ( such as lemons). This erodes the enamel and enamel cannot be replaced once it is eroded. Also, Bulemics and Anorexics damage enamel due to the vomiting they do regularly.
How is feldspar eroded?
Feldspar can be eroded through physical weathering processes such as abrasion from wind-blown sand, ice wedging, and thermal expansion and contraction. Additionally, chemical weathering from water and acids can break down feldspar minerals into clay minerals.
How do rocks become sedimentary?
When sedimentary rock is weathered in nature by chemical or mechanical means, the particles that are produced can be eroded and deposited, becoming sediments.
