Hard water deposits (calcium carbonate) have built up around your bathroom sink. which of these substances would be most effecti

ve in dissolving the deposits

The answer would be: <span> vinegar (acetic acid).

To dissolve deposit that calcified, you need to dissolve the calcium. Calcium is one of the metal that makes base pH. It will react with acid compound and produce a molecule of water. Ammonia, bleach, lye </span><span>, and baking soda are all base and won't react with the </span><span>calcium carbonate. Vinegar is acid and will react to it.

Hello!

Vinegar would be most effective in dissolving the deposits of Hard Water.

Vinegar (CH₃COOH) is a weak acid, while Calcium Carbonate (CaCO₃), being the salt of a weak acid, will be a weak base. These two compounds will react together in the following way:

2CH₃COOH + CaCO₃ → (CH₃COO)₂Ca + H₂CO₃

H₂CO₃ reacts further to yield Water and CO₂

H₂CO₃ → H₂O + CO₂(g)

So, vinegar would be effective at dissolving CaCO₃, and we should see bubbles as a proof that a reaction has occurred.

Have a nice day!

Which of the following is a difference between electromagnetic waves and sound waves?
-BARSIC- [3]

Sound waves are longitudinal waves that is, are transmitted in the same direction of oscillation of the particles in the medium. Electromagnetic waves are transverse ie, the electric and magnetic fields, which are perpendicular to each other, oscillate perpendicularly to the direction of wave propagation.

Which of the followings is true about G0'? A. G0' can be determined using Keq' B. G0' indicates if a reaction can occur under no
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

A and D are true , while B and F statements are false.

Explanation:

A) True.  Since the standard gibbs free energy is

ΔG = ΔG⁰ + RT*ln Q

where Q= [P1]ᵃ.../([R1]ᵇ...) , representing the ratio of the product of concentration of chemical reaction products P and the product of concentration of chemical reaction reactants R

when the system reaches equilibrium ΔG=0 and Q=Keq

0 = ΔG⁰ + RT*ln Q → ΔG⁰ = (-RT*ln Keq)

therefore the first equation also can be expressed as

ΔG = RT*ln (Q/Keq)

thus the standard gibbs free energy can be determined using Keq

B) False. ΔG⁰ represents the change of free energy under standard conditions . Nevertheless , it will give us a clue about the ΔG around the standard conditions .For example if ΔG⁰>>0 then is likely that ΔG>0 ( from the first equation) if the temperature or concentration changes are not very distant from the standard conditions

C) False. From the equation presented

ΔG⁰ = (-RT*ln Keq)

ΔG⁰>0 if Keq<1 and ΔG⁰<0 if Keq>1

for example, for a reversible reaction  ΔG⁰ will be <0 for forward or reverse reaction and the ΔG⁰ will be >0 for the other one ( reverse or forward reaction)

D) True. Standard conditions refer to

T= 298 K

pH= 7

P= 1 atm

C= 1 M for all reactants

Water = 55.6 M

The pH of a solution can be calculated using which formula?
VikaD [51]

Answer:

The formula for calculating pH is pH=−log[H_3O+ ]

pH is the negative logarithm (to base 10) of hydronium ion concentration

The pH Formula can also be expressed as

PH= - log[H+ ]
