Answer:
- 1. d. hydrolysis chemical reaction involving ions in water (OH⁻ and H⁺ )
- 2. e. oxidation chemical reaction in which minerals are weakened by oxygen
- 3. b. abrasion away or grinding by friction
- 4. a. weathering breakdown and change of rocks and minerals over time
- 5. c. dissolution process of dissolving
Step-by-step explanation:
a. Weathering is due to the reaction of rocks and minerals with the air, water and organisms, which cause the rocks and minerals to breakdown and change. This, normally, is a slow process that involves chemical and physical changes.
b. Abrasion is the wear caused by the friction of the materials.
c. Dissolution is the process of dissolving a solute in a solvent. For instance, salt in water.
d. Hydrolisys is the chemical reaction of a substance with water, being the ions H⁺ or OH⁻ from water the agents responsible for the reaction.
e. Oxidation is the chemical reaction of an element with oxygen. In such reactions, the element transform into a compound that, commonly is weaker than the element. For instance, oxygen oxidates iron producing iron oxide (rust) which is weaker than iron.
