Limestone is calcium carbonate Ca(Co3) it's dissociation equation is as follows: Ca(CO3) <----> Ca+2 + CO3-2 

but the solubility is very small in the presence of acid by LeChatlier's Principle you can shift to the right by adding acid 

H+ + CO3-2 <-----> H+CO3- (the bicarbonate ion which is really soluble) 

The system will pull more and more limestone out into solution as acid is added and neutralize the acid coming from the rain.

What volume (in liters) of a solution contains 0.14 mol of KCl?
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 0.078 \ L }}

Explanation:

We are asked to find the volume of a solution given the moles of solute and molarity.

Molarity is a measure of concentration in moles per liter. It is calculated using the following formula:

molarity= \frac{moles \ of \ solute}{liters \ of \ solution}

We know there are 0.14 moles of potassium chloride (KCl), which is the solute. The molarity of the solution is 1.8 molar or 1.8 moles of potassium chloride per liter.

  • moles of solute = 0.14 mol KCl
  • molarity= 1.8 mol KCl/ L
  • liters of solution=x

Substitute these values/variables into the formula.

1.8 \ mol \ KCl/ L = \frac { 0.14 \ mol \ KCl}{x}

We are solving for x, so we must isolate the variable. First, cross multiply. Multiply the first numerator and second denominator, then the first denominator and second numerator.

\frac {1.8 \ mol \ KCl/L}{1} = \frac{0.14 \ mol \ KCl}{x}

1.8 \ mol \ KCl/ L *x = 1*0.14 \ mol \ KCl

1.8 \ mol \ KCl/ L *x = 0.14 \ mol \ KCl

Now x is being multiplied by 1.8 moles of potassium chloride per liter. The inverse operation of multiplication is division, so we divide both sides by 1.8 mol KCl/L.

\frac {1.8 \ mol \ KCl/ L *x}{1.8 \ mol \ KCl/L} = \frac{0.14 \ mol \ KCl}{1.8 \ mol \ KCl/L}

x= \frac{0.14 \ mol \ KCl}{1.8 \ mol \ KCl/L}

The units of moles of potassium chloride cancel.

x= \frac{0.14 }{1.8 L}

x=0.07777777778 \ L

The original measurements of moles and molarity have 2 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we found, that is the thousandth place. The 7 in the ten-thousandth place tells us to round the 7 up to a 8.

x \approx 0.078 \ L

There are approximately <u>0.078 liters of solution.</u>

Why do a planets speed change in orbit
gayaneshka [121]

According to Kepler's  second law of orbital motion, a plane's orbital speed changes , depending on how far it is from the sun. The closer a planet is to the sun, the stronger the sun's gravitational pull on it, and the faster the planet moves.  The farther away from the sun, the weaker the sun's gravitational pull and the slower it moves in its orbit.

The orbit of a planet around the sun is not  a perfect circle, but  an ellipse - a flattened circle.

Calculate how many grams of the first reactant are necessary to completely react with 17.3 g of the second reactant. the reactio
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Taking into account the reaction stoichiometry, 16.611 grams of Na₂CO₃ are necessary to completely react with 17.3 g of CuCl₂.

<h3>Reaction stoichiometry</h3>

In first place, the balanced reaction is:

Na₂CO₃ + CuCl₂  → CuCO₃ + 2 NaCl

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:

  • Na₂CO₃: 1 mole
  • CuCl₂: 1 mole
  • CuCO₃: 1 mole
  • NaCl: 2 moles

The molar mass of the compounds is:

  • Na₂CO₃: 129 g/mole
  • CuCl₂: 134.45 g/mole
  • CuCO₃: 123.55 g/mole
  • NaCl: 58.45 g/mole

Then, by reaction stoichiometry, the following mass quantities of each compound participate in the reaction:

  • Na₂CO₃: 1 mole ×129 g/mole= 129 grams
  • CuCl₂: 1 mole ×134.45 g/mole= 134.45 grams
  • CuCO₃: 1 mole ×123.55 g/mole= 123.55 grams
  • NaCl: 2 mole ×58.45 g/mole=116.9 grams

<h3>Mass of CuCl₂ required</h3>

The following rule of three can be applied: If by reaction stoichiometry 134.35 grams of CuCl₂ react with 129 grams of Na₂CO₃, 17.3 grams of CuCl₂ react with how much mass of Na₂CO₃?

mass of Na₂CO₃= (17.3 grams of CuCl₂× 129 grams of Na₂CO₃)÷ 134.35 grams of CuCl₂

<u><em>mass of Na₂CO₃= 16.611 grams</em></u>

Finally, 16.611 grams of Na₂CO₃ is required.

What geometric shape is the carbon dioxide molecule? The Lewis structure for CO2 contains two double bonds.
Greeley [361]

The answer would be Linear. in Carbon Dioxide, the two double bonds count as two pairs of electrons around the carbon atom, predicting linear geometry.
