Distinguish between Oxidation and Hydration? |
|
Answer» The rain water with oxygen reacts on rocks containing iron and produce oxides. This chemical reaction is known as Oxidation. The rock minerals take up water, the increased volume creates physical stress within the rock. As a result certain minerals like feldspar and gypsum are reduced into powder. This process is ‘ called “Hydration”. |
