Chemical Weathering is the process of disintegration or decomposition of rocks due to chemical processes. It alters the intrinsic properties such as chemical structure‚ composition and density of the minerals that the rock is made up of. A rock’s susceptibility to Chemical Weathering depends on the stability of the minerals in it. Rock is composed of minerals that are generally quite stable at the time of formation. When there is variation in the surrounding environment‚ some minerals tend to

factor that could possibly make any distinguishable characteristic change to soil properties between the regions. Climate‚ as both temperature and rainfall‚ has major effects on organic matter‚ chemical composition‚ base saturation and contents of carbonates and soluble salts (Young‚ 1976). The tropics of Australia consistently experience warmer annual temperatures. Warm temperatures coupled with high moisture‚ will increase the rate of reactions in the soil and therefore increases the weathering process

STEWARDSHIP INFORMATION SERIES Hardness in Groundwater February 2007 What is water hardness? Water hardness is primarily the amount of calcium and magnesium‚ and to a lesser extent‚ iron in the water. Water hardness is measured by adding up the concentrations of calcium‚ magnesium and converting this value to an equivalent concentration of calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ) in milligrams per litre (mg/L) of water. The Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality Hardness divide hardness into

production of the substance. Causes- The parathyroid glands help to use‚ monitor and remove calcium from the body. This occurs thanks to the production of parathyroid hormone‚ or PTH. PTH helps control the calcium‚ phosphorus and vitamin D levels in the blood and bones. People with the Pseudohypoparathyroidism produce the right amount of PTH‚ but the body is "resistant" to its effect. This causes calcium levels in the blood are low and those of high phosphate. The Pseudohypoparathyroidism is caused

Survey of the Sciences Unit 4: The Science of Fireworks 7-7-14/7-14-14 What is a firework? An explosive or combustible used for display. In the 19th century the introduction of new ingredients such as magnesium and aluminum greatly heightened the brilliance of such displays. There are two main classes of fireworks‚ force-and-spark and flame. In force and spark compositions‚ potassium nitrate‚ sulfur‚ and finely ground charcoal are used‚ with additional ingredients that produce various types

Objective: The purpose of the lab is to learn filtering techniques. Specifically‚ to form and filter a calcium carbonate precipitate using a Buchner funnel. Procedure: a.) Prepared a mixture of .5 M calcium nitrate (45 mL) and .01 M sodium carbonate by combining and stirring the two liquids in a beaker. Allow the mixture to stand. b.) Prepare the filtration assembly. The assembly consists of a tapered flask with a buchner funnel inserted in the top. The funnel has a rubber stopper attached

During the experiment‚ anhydrous calcium chloride was provided as a drying agent to ensure that pure cyclohexene was obtained‚ calcium chloride works by binding itself to the water molecule thus removing it in the process. After the dehydrating process was completed‚ a few tests using Potassium Permanganate solution and Bromine which
