17 extractive question-and-answer pairs built from the source document, published by agritech.tnau.ac.in. Every answer is a verbatim span of text the source prints, and each row carries the passage it sits in, its offset in that passage, the source quote, the page and the location in the document, so any row can be checked against the original. 12 of the 17 pairs (70.6%) are explanatory questions and 5 restate a figure. 100.00% of rows pass the corpus quality gate.

Many anhydrous minerals undergo hy dration when they come in contact with water. face and edges of mineral grains, but may per vade the entire structure in simple salts. Some examples of hydration reactions are given in Equations (1) and (2): (Anhydrite) (Hemihydrate} CaSO, + (Anhydrite) (Gypsum) The characteristics of hy- drated minerals are different from those of their anhydrated counterparts. The hydrated minerals are usually soft and are readily weatherable.

| What are some examples of minerals formed as secondary products during chemical weathering? | kaolinite, vermiculite, hy- drous oxides, etc. | These agents commonly act in a synergis- tic manner to convert primary minerals feldspars, micas, amphiboles, etc.) into second- ary minerals (e.g., kaolinite, vermiculite, hy- drous oxides, etc.) with release of water soluble ions. The principal processes of chemical weathering are described below. For a clear understanding of individual processes, these have been described separately, but in nature they mostly simultaneously. J, at solved carbon dioxide, organic and inorganic acids or salts in it, Most of the minerals are affected by the solubilizing action of water, though by varying degrees. Some minerals such as halite (NaCl) dissolve readily im water, whereas the solubility of some silicates such as quartz in water is very low. Solution helps in the removal of weathered mate- tials but the total removal by simple solubilizing action is very limited.
