Which of the following is an example of chemical weathering? O A. Water freezes in cracks in a rock, breaking the rock apart.
O B. Weak acid breaks down minerals by reacting with them.
O C. Plant roots grow and split rock into pieces.
O D. An animal kicks a rock down a hill where it hits another rock and shatters.

O B. Weak acid breaks down minerals by reacting with them.

Explanation:

Chemical weathering is the process whereby rain water which sometimes can be acidic ( As rain falls down it reacts with CO2 in the atmosphere and form acid rain), This  reacts  with the minerals contained in rocks, dissolves and degrades  them further to form entire  new minerals.

An example of a rock that is greatly affected by overexposure of  acid rain is  limestone containing calcite  which easily degrades by acid rain.

Other processes whereby Chemical weathering can occur are through reaction with water and oxygen.

chemical properties are the characteristic of matter which can only be observed by changing the chemical identity of a sample like flammability reactivity and toxicity.
