how is oxidation different from carbonation and hydration
Answers
Hydrolysis is the chemical breakdown of a substance when combined with water. The most common example of hydrolysis is feldspar in granite rocks changing to clay. Oxidation is the reaction of a substance with oxygen. ... Carbonation is the mixing of water with carbon dioxide to make carbonic acid.
Answer:
Hydration, Carbonation and Oxidation - Consequences of Weathering - The nature of rocks is not permanent; it keeps on changing constantly. Rocks are formed by the movement in the interior of the earth and produced by various processes. The changes in the nature of the rocks are brought about by weathering and erosion. These processes mainly depend on the climate of the respective region, as these processes operate on the surface of the earth, they are called exogenous processes. There are various types of weathering, it may be mechanical weathering due to rise and fall in temperature, it may be biological weathering or it may be chemical weathering. Chemical weathering happens after physical weather.
Decomposition of constituent minerals in a rock is called a chemical weathering. These chemical reactions take place through the medium of water; therefore chemical weathering is faster in areas of high rainfall. Further it depends upon the properties of the rock. As the rocks get decomposed its properties also change. The 3 major types of chemical reactions are: Hydration, Carbonation and Oxidation.
