Write a hypothesis about the effect of mineral composition, acidity, temperature, and surface area on the rate of weathering using the “If…then…because…” format. Be sure to answer the lab question, “What factors influence the rate of weathering?”

the sample response  they give is If the rate of weathering is dependent on factors such as mineral composition, temperature, acidity, and surface area, then the percentage of mass remaining for each rock sample will change because weathering can be a chemical process.
