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.

A chemist prepares a solution of magnesium chloride MgCl2 by measuring out 49.mg of MgCl2 into a 100.mL volumetric flask and fil
Flura [38]

Answer:  Molarity of Cl^- anions in the chemist's solution is 0.0104 M

Explanation:

Molarity : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present per liter of the solution.

Formula used :

Molarity=\frac{n\times 1000}{V_s}

where,

n= moles of solute

Moles=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}=\frac{0.049g}{95g/mol}=5.2\times 10^{-4}moles  

V_s = volume of solution in ml = 100 ml

Now put all the given values in the formula of molarity, we get

Molarity=\frac{5.2\times 10^{-4}moles\times 1000}{100ml}=5.2\times 10^{-3}mole/L

Therefore, the molarity of solution will be 5.2\times 10^{-3}mole/L

MgCl_2\rightarrow Mg^{2+}+2Cl^-

As 1 mole of MgCl_2 gives 2 moles of Cl^-

Thus 5.2\times 10^{-3}  moles of MgCl_2 gives =\frac{2}{1}\times 5.2\times 10^{-3}=0.0104

Thus the molarity of Cl^- anions in the chemist's solution is 0.0104 M

Why is gold considered matter?
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

All matter is made up of substances called elements, which have specific chemical and physical properties and can't be broken down into other substances through ordinary chemical reactions. Gold, in this case, is an element so, therefore, it is considered matter.

Hope it helped :)

To what volume would you need to dilute 200 mL of a 5.85M solution of Ca(OH)2 to make it a 1.95M solution?
Blizzard [7]

Answer: 600 mL

Explanation:

Given that;

M₁ = 5.85 m

M₂ = 1.95 m

V₁ = 200 mL

V₂ = ?

Now from the dilution law;

M₁V₁ = M₂V₂

so we substitute

5.85 × 200 = 1.95 × V₂

1170 = 1.95V₂

V₂ = 1170 / 1.95

V₂ = 600 mL

Therefore final volume is 600 mL
