5. Some areas of the nation have limestone in the soil and lake bottoms. Explain how the presence of this mineral acts as a natu

ral buffer against acid rain.

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.

When Aluminum oxide is heated with iron no reaction takes place?
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

Explanation:

That's correct. Once Aluminum becomes an ion, it is very hard to force it to take back its electrons. Only a few elements can do it. Iron is not one of them.

If you can do this for me that would be great thank you!​

Answer:

Mass is both a property of a physical body and a measure of its resistance to acceleration when a net force is applied. An object's mass also determines the strength of its gravitational attraction to other bodies. The basic SI unit of mass is the kilogram.

Gravity, or gravitation, is a natural phenomenon by which all things with mass or energy—including planets, stars, galaxies, and even light—are brought toward one another. On Earth, gravity gives weight to physical objects, and the Moon's gravity causes the ocean tides.

When dealing with the force of gravity between two objects, there are only two things that are important – mass, and distance. The force of gravity depends directly upon the masses of the two objects, and inversely on the square of the distance between them.

Gravitational energy or gravitational potential energy is the potential energy a massive object has in relation to another massive object due to gravity. It is the potential energy associated with the gravitational field, which is released when the objects fall towards each other.

In science and engineering, the weight of an object is the force acting on the object due to gravity. Some standard textbooks define weight as a vector quantity, the gravitational force acting on the object. Others define weight as a scalar quantity, the magnitude of the gravitational force

Newton's law of universal gravitation is usually stated as that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.
