Carbonic acid dissolves limestone and other rocks. This is an example of chemical erosion. An example is in the caves. Caves are formed where rainwater as it falls through the atmosphere absorbs carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide makes the rain acidic to react it with the limestone bedrock. The rainwater is absorbed by the soil into the ground. Then as it enters through the soil, the rainwater will absorb more carbon dioxide that is produced by the decomposers. The carbon dioxide with water reacts to form carbonic acid. The carbonic acid will react to limestone and dissolves it slowly. As the space become larger, water can enter into it.

What volume (in liters, at 703 k and 2.04 atm) of chlorine gas is required to react with 3.39 g of p?

Natali5045456 [20]

The volume of chlorine required is 7.71 L.

The reaction between phosphorus and chlorine is:

2P + 5Cl₂→ 5PCl₅

Therefore, 2 moles of P requires 5 moles of chlorine to react with it.

Given mass of P =3.39 g

Molar mass of P=30.97 g/mol

No. of moles of P = given mass/ molar mass = 3.39 / 30.97 = 0.109 moles

2 moles of P requires 5 moles of chlorine
