Answer: Limestone is a sedimentary rock containing carbonates, which gets dissolve when comes in contact with water. It is very prone to weathering, and undergoes chemical weathering.

Limestones when undergoes weathering, it develops certain features such as caves with stalagtites and stalagmites, karst topography, sinkholes and sometimes springs are also formed.

Limestone is easily weathered by acid rain. When rain mixes with gases such as sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, acid rain is formed (sulfuric acid and carbonic acid respectively). When the rain precipitates and meets with limestone which is CaCO3, it is weathered a shown by the formulae; 2CaCO₃ (s) + H₂CO₃ → 2CaHCO3 (aq)

Geographical features formed as a result of weathering of limestone in rocks are caves, stalactites, and stalagmites.

there are several ways of producing electrical energy (coal,hydrpower,nuclear power,solar,wind,geothermal,etc.)but which way is
dlinn [17]
Well, that depends on cost, maintenance, and power output most of the time. Geothermal seems to be best because you could heat up water, and the heat from said water can be used to create electricity. Making it extremely eco-friendly, which makes it the best in that regard.

What mass of iron is needed to react with sulfur in order to produce 96 grams of
Setler79 [48]

The balanced equation for the reaction is as follows;

2Fe + 3S ---> Fe₂S₃

molar ratio of Fe to Fe₂S₃ is 2:1

mass of Fe₂S₃ to be produced is - 96 g

therefore number of moles of Fe₂S₃ to be produced is - 96 g / 208 g/mol

number of Fe₂S₃ moles = 0.46 mol

according to the molar ratio

when 2 mol of Fe reacts with 3 mol of sulfur then 1 mol of Fe₂S₃ is produced

that for 1 mol of Fe₂S₃ to be produced - 2 mol of Fe should react

therefore for 0.46 mol of Fe₂S₃ to be produced - 2 x 0.46  = 0.92 mol of Fe is required

mass of Fe required - 0.92 mol x 56 g/mol  = 51.5 g

mass of Fe required is - 51.5 g

What is the average kinetic energy of 1 mole of a gas that is at 100 degrees Celsius?
Paha777 [63]
The average kinetic energy of an ideal gas is calculated as 

KE_avg = 3/2 kT

where T is the temperature in Kelvin and k=R/N_A; R is the universal gas constant and N_A is the number of moles.

Thus, upon substitution we get

KE_avg = 3/2(8.314/1)(100+273)
KE_avg = 3/2(8.314)(373)
KE_avg = 4651.683

The average kinetic energy of 1 mole of a gas at 100 degree Celsius is 4651.683 J.
