Answer:

C. Hydrolysis

Explanation:

Hydrolysis is the process of breaking down of substance when combined with water. The hydrogen coming from the water reacts from the minerals of the rocks. The rock becomes clay because instead of dissolving the rocks, the water combines with the rock.

Some rocks can absorb water that makes them bigger that can also lead to its chemical change since there is an increase with the volume of minerals coming from the water. The minerals lose their luster and becomes soft. Igneous rocks are the most common with this type of chemical reaction.

Answer:

Which of the following occurs when acidic water caused the rocks to break producing

A.Carbonation

B.Erosion

C. Hydrolysis

D.Oxidation

☞︎︎︎ Hydrolysis is basically a reaction with a water molecule that breaks large molecules into smaller ones and involves catalysis by proton or hydroxide (and sometimes inorganic ions such as phosphate ions) present in the aquatic environment that play a role in general acid-base catalysis.
