Answer: Yes! you're all good. Alkali metals in group 1 are the most metallic :)
Answer:different elements have different number of electrons and shells/orbits thatswhy it have different atomic mass and size.
Explanation:
I believe the answer is D. loess. The loess soil is a predominantly silt-sized sediment formed by accumulation of wind blown dust. This soil is highly porous, homogeneous, pale yellow and friable. One way of forming loess is from glaciers and that is why they contain glacially ground flour like clay and silt.
Missing in your question :
Ksp of(CaCO3)= 4.5 x 10 -9
Ka1 for (H2CO3) = 4.7 x 10^-7
Ka2 for (H2CO3) = 5.6 x 10 ^-11
1) equation 1 for Ksp = 4.5 x 10^-9
CaCO3(s)→ Ca +2(aq) + CO3-2(aq)
2) equation 2 for Ka1 = 4.7 x 10^-7
H2CO3 + H2O → HCO3- + H3O+
3) equation 3 for Ka2 = 5.6 x 10^-11
HCO3-(aq) + H2O(l) → CO3-2 (aq) + H3O+(aq)
so, form equation 1& 2&3 we can get the overall equation:
CaCO3(s) + H+(aq) → Ca2+(aq) + HCO3-(aq)
note: you could get the overall equation by adding equation 1 to the inverse of equation 3 as the following:
when the inverse of equation 3 is :
CO3-2 (aq) + H3O+ (aq) ↔ HCO3- (aq) + H2O(l) Ka2^-1 = 1.79 x 10^10
when we add it to equation 1
CaCO3(s) ↔ Ca2+(aq) + CO3-2(aq) Ksp = 4.5 x 10^-9
∴ the overall equation will be as we have mentioned before:
when H3O+ = H+
CaCO3(s) + H+(aq) ↔ Ca2+ (aq) + HCO3-(aq) K= 80.55
from the overall equation:
∴K = [Ca2+][HCO3-] / [H+]
when we have [Ca2+] = [HCO3-] so we can assume both = X
∴K = X^2 / [H+]
when we have the PH = 5.6 so we can get [H+]
PH = - ㏒[H+]
5.6 = -㏒[H]
∴[H] = 2.5 x 10^-6
so, by substitution on K expression:
∴ 80.55 = X^2 / (2.5 x10^-6)
∴X = 0.0142
∴[Ca2+] = X = 0.0142
