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.

The ksp of cadmium hydroxide, cd(oh)2, is 7.20 × 10-15. calculate the solubility of this compound in g/l.
olga nikolaevna [1]
When the solubility is the amount of solute that dissolved in a unit volume of the solvent.

and when the balanced reaction equation is:

so, by using the ICE table:

            Cd(OH)2(s) ↔  Cd2+  +  2OH- 

initial                               0             0

change                          +X           +2X

Equ                                  X             2X

so the Ksp expression = [Cd2+] [OH-]^2 

and we have Ksp = 7.2 x 10^-15

and when we assume the solubility = X
  
by substitution:

7.2 x 10^-15 = (X) (2X)^2

7.2 x 10^-15 = X*4X^2

7.2 x 10^-15 = 4X^3

∴X = ∛(7.2x10^-15)/4

      = 1.22 x 10^-5 M

∴ the solubility = X = 1.22 x 10^-5 M

What can you infer about the size of sugar particles that are dissolved in a mixture of sugar and water?
laiz [17]
You can infer that the size of sugar particles that are dissolved in a mixture of sugar and water are very small since you cannot see the sugar particles. Sugar is an organic compound which is held by covalent bonding. When we dissolve sugar in water, it does not ionizes or dissociates rather it stays as a sugar molecule dissolved in the solvent which is water. These particles are very which is impossible to be seen by the naked eye. Dissolution involves the solute particles and solvent particles interacting and attracting each other forming a solution. Sugar molecules are attracted to water since it is a polar molecule.

A mole, which is a unit in chemistry, contains 6.02 x 1023 atoms or particles. How many zeroes follow the 2 when this number is
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

A) 21.

Explanation:

  • Avogadro's number is the number of the atoms or elements that present in one mole of the substance or the element.
  • It is equal 6.02 x 10²³.
  • If it is written in standard form it will have 21 zero following 2.
  • 60200000000000000000000.

Draw the structures of the two monomers that react together to form this polyurethane polymer
matrenka [14]

The monomers that react together to form polyurethane polymer are diisocyanate and diol.

<h3>What are polymers?</h3>
  • Polymers are a class of natural or synthetic substances
  • It is made up of small units called monomers arranged in a repeated pattern to form large molecules called macromolecules
  • Cellulose and resins are examples of natural polymers
  • Polyethylene and polychloroprene are examples of synthetic polymers.

Polyurethane polymer is made up of monomers diisocyanate and diol. It is mostly used in home furnishing in flexible form. The structures of monomers are as follows:
