Suppose we have two rock samples, A and B. Rock A was subject to both physical and chemical weathering while rock B was subject to chemical weathering only. Which rock would experience more chemical weathering? Why? (2pts) (Hint: consider the effect of surface area on the rate of chemical weathering)

Rock A will have far more chemical weathering than Rock B due to the rise in area effect

Explanation:

Rock A undergoes both Physical and Chemical weathering. So, thanks to physical weathering there'll appear cracks within the rock, which can, in turn, increase the area of rock on which weathering is occurring. So, Chemical weathering will happen much faster now as there's a rise in the area. within the case of Rock B, there's only chemical weathering therefore the increase in the area won't be that very much like compared to Rock A.

the ideal gas law equation is as follows

pv = nrt

where p - pressure

v - volume

n - number of moles

r - universal gas constant

t - temperature

so if the pressure, volume and temperature are already known

we are left with n and r

since r is the universal gas constant that has a known fixed value then r too is known

so we are left with 'n'

once we know temperature volume and pressure

we can find the number of moles of gas present using the ideal gas law equation
