What else can I help you with?
Can powder dissolve?
Yes, If mixed with water!
Can granite dissolve slowly in acid water to form caves?
No, only limestone dissolves.
What role does carbon dioxide play when breaking down limestone?
Carbon dioxide reacts with water to form carbonic acid, which can dissolve limestone over time. This process is known as carbonation and results in the breakdown of limestone through chemical weathering.
When powdered salt is mixed with water it forms what?
When powdered salt is mixed with water, it forms a salt solution. The salt particles dissolve in the water, creating a homogeneous mixture.
Water often passes through beds of limestone because?
limestone is a permeable rock that allows water to flow through its cracks and pores. As water moves through limestone, it can dissolve the rock, creating caves, sinkholes, and underground rivers. This process is known as karstification.
Mass of limestone when mixed with water?
You need to specify the quantities of both the limestone and the water.
Can powder dissolve?
Yes, If mixed with water!
Does borax dissolve in water?
Yes, borax does dissolve in water. It forms a clear solution when mixed with water.
What can rain water do to rocks like limestone?
Rain water can gradually dissolve limestone rocks through a process called carbonation, where carbon dioxide from the air combines with water to form a weak acid. Over time, this acid can react with the minerals in limestone, causing it to break down and form cracks and cavities.
How is the effect of water of a sugar cube similar to groundwater eroding limestone?
sugar cubes dissolve faster than limestone
Can vinegar dissolve rocks?
Calcium acetate is reasonably soluble in water, so vinegar will dissolve limestone (calcium carbonate).
What happens when water is mixed with coffee granuls?
it do not dissolve
Can water dissolve salt?
Yes, water can dissolve salt. When salt is mixed with water, the water molecules surround the salt ions and break them apart, allowing the salt to dissolve into the water.
Can granite dissolve slowly in acid water to form caves?
No, only limestone dissolves.
What does groundwater naturally contain that allows it to dissolve limestone and from caverns?
Groundwater naturally contains carbon dioxide, which forms carbonic acid when mixed with water. This weak acid dissolves the limestone, creating cavities and caverns over time through a process called chemical weathering.
Why is water acidic when it reaches a limestone?
it the limestone is acidic
What does groundwater naturally contain that allows it to dissolve limestone and caverns?
Carbonic Acid
