A student is measuring the effect that surface area has on the rate of chemical weathering. He dissolves several 5-gram samples of calcite in acid. The samples range from a single rock, to several small pieces, to a fine powder. He observes that the 5 grams of powder dissolve the fastest, and the single 5-gram rock dissolves the slowest. Based on this information, how might mechanical weathering affect the rate of chemical weathering?

Listenbase your answer to the question on the information below.nuclear radiation is harmful to living cells, particularly to fast-growing cells, such as cancer cells and blood cells. an external beam of the radiation emitted from a radioisotope can be directed on a small area of a person to destroy cancer cells within the body.cobalt-60 is an artificially produced radioisotope that emits gamma rays and beta particles. one hospital keeps a 100.0-gram sample of cobalt-60 in an appropriate, secure storage container for future cancer treatment.which choice represents the correct product for the beta decay of the co-60? fe-60ni-60fe-61ni-61
