Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When calcium carbonate is added to an acid then the reaction will be as follows.

           CaCO_{3} + MH \rightarrow HCO^{-}_{3} + MCa

The HCO^{-}_{3} formed is easily soluble in water.

Therefore, when we crush calcium carbonate the surface area of particles will increase. As a result more number of molecules will be dispersed in the acid, hence more is the number of calcium carbonate particles more readily the reaction will occur.

Thus, we can conclude that the rate of this reaction increases when we crush the lime stone or calcium carbonate.

. Write the following isotope in nuclide notation (e.g., “ ”): copper-70
vekshin1

Answer:

{\boxed{\text{$_{29}^{70}${Cu}}}

Explanation:

The atomic number (Z) of copper is 29 and this isotope has an atomic mass (A) of 70.

The general symbol for an isotope E is _{Z}^{A}\text{E}.

The atomic number is a left subscript, and the atomic mass is a left superscript.

\rm {\text{The nuclide notation for copper-70 is }}{\boxed{\textbf{$_{29}^{70}${Cu}}}
