special properties: stable\nhardness: 3\nbreakage: cleavage\nstreak: clear\nspecial properties: reacts to acids\nuse 2 pieces of evidence from the chart to explain your answer above. must choose two (2) answers below.\n□ calcite dissolves more easily than quartz in acid rain\n□ calcite is a harder rock than quartz\n□ quartz is a harder rock than calcite\n□ quartz breaks more easily than calcite when hit
Answer
# Brief Explanations:
1. The chart shows calcite reacts to acids, so it is reasonable that calcite dissolves more easily than quartz in acid - rain.
2. The hardness of calcite is 3. Generally, quartz has a higher hardness (7 on the Mohs scale), so quartz is a harder rock than calcite.
# Answer:
Calcite dissolves more easily than Quartz in acid rain, Quartz is a harder rock than Calcite
