Weathering of soft mudstone in nature, characterized by the presence of an oxidized zone and an underlying dissolved zone, was simulated in the laboratory in 15 °C water with a pH of 3–7 and dissolved oxygen contents of 4–16 mg/L under stresses up to 0.49 MPa for as long as 70 days. When the water is acid, hydrogen ions diffuse from the rock–water interface through the rock and attack acid-labile calcite in mudstone preferentially and easily at a well-defined dissolution front, leaving a dissolved zone behind the front. Density decreases, porosity increases, ultrasonic P-wave velocity decreases, and shear strength decreases in the dissolved zone. The dissolution front migrates toward unreacted rock, and the migration rate is controlled by the diffusion of hydrogen ions in the reacted dissolved zone, so the rate is influenced by the stress exerted on the rocks; the effective diffusivity becomes smaller when the rock is stressed. Oxygen also diffuses through the rock to a well-defined oxidation front and ch...
