Question:medium

Match List I with List II
List I (Weathering Reaction):
A. $\text{CaSO}_4 + 2\text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{CaSO}_4 \cdot 2\text{H}_2\text{O}$
B. $2\text{Fe}_2\text{O}_3 \rightarrow 4\text{FeO} + \text{O}_2$
C. $\text{KAlSi}_3\text{O}_8 + \text{HOH} \rightarrow \text{HAlSi}_3\text{O}_8 + \text{KOH}$
D. $4\text{FeO} + \text{O}_2 \rightarrow 2\text{Fe}_2\text{O}_3$

List II (Weathering process):
I. Oxidation
II. Hydration
III. Reduction
IV. Hydrolysis

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Show Hint

To easily identify weathering reactions:
Addition of water molecule $\rightarrow$ Hydration.
Reaction involving ionic split of water ($H^+$ replacement) $\rightarrow$ Hydrolysis.
Gain of oxygen electron loss $\rightarrow$ Oxidation.
Loss of oxygen electron gain $\rightarrow$ Reduction.
