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.

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!<br> Calculate the bond for CO2
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

Bonding Order = number of bonding electrons – number of antibonding electrons/2.

So for CO2, there is a total of 16 electrons, 8 of which are antibonding electrons.

So 16 – 8 = 8; divided by 2 = 4. So, 4 is the bonding order of CO2. The molecular structure of CO2 looks like this:

What is the molarity of the solution formed by dissolving 80. G of NAOH(s) into water to give a total volume of 4.00 l
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

0.5 M

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of NaOH = 80 g

Volume of solution = 4 L

Molarity =?

Next, we shall determine the number of mole in 80 g of NaOH. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of NaOH = 80 g

Molar mass of NaOH = 23 + 16 + 1

= 40 g/mol

Mole of NaOH =?

Mole = mass / molar mass

Mole of NaOH = 80 / 40

Mole of NaOH = 2 moles

Finally, we shall determine the molarity of the solution. This can be obtained as follow:

Mole of NaOH = 2 moles

Volume of solution = 4 L

Molarity =?

Molarity = mole / Volume

Molarity = 2/4

Molarity = 0.5 M

Therefore, the molarity of the solution is 0.5 M.

Which of the following is NOT true about "yield"? a. The value of the actual yield must be given in order for the percent yield
Snowcat [4.5K]
<span>Which of the following is NOT true about "yield"? a. The value of the actual yield must be given in order for the percent yield to be calculated. b. The percent yield is the ratio of the actual yield to the theoretical yield. c. The actual yield may be different from the theoretical yield because reactions do not always go to completion. d. The actual yield may be different from the theoretical yield because insufficient limiting reagent was used.

The correct answer is:
</span><span> d. The actual yield may be different from the theoretical yield because insufficient limiting reagent was used.</span>
