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.

A 17.6-g sample of ammonium carbonate contains ________ mol of ammonium ions.
postnew [5]
These problems are a bit interesting. :)

First let's write the molecular formula for ammonium carbonate. 

NH4CO3 (Note! The 4 and 3 are subscripts, and not coefficients)

17.6 gNH4CO3

Now to convert to mol of one of our substances we take the percent composition of that particular part of the molecule and multiply it by our starting mass. This is what it looks like using dimensional analyse. 

17.6 gNH4CO3 * (Molar Mass of NH4 / Molar Mass of NH4CO3)

Grab a periodic table (or look one up) and find the molar masses for these molecules! Well. In this case I'll do it for you. (Note: I round the molar masses off to two decimal places)

NH4 = 14.01 + 4*1.01 = 18.05 g/mol
NH4CO3 = 14.01 + 4*1.01 + 12.01 + 3*16.00 = 78.06 g/mol


17.6 gNH4CO3 * (18.05 molNH4 / 78.06 molNH4CO3)
= 4.07 gNH4

Now just take the molar mass we found to convert that amount into moles!

4.07 gNH4 * (1 molNH4 / 18.05 gNH4) = 0.225 molNH4

Determine the mass of a ball with a wavelength of 3.45 × 10-34 m and a velocity of 6.55 m/s
Yuki888 [10]
<span>293 grams The formula for the wavelength of a massive particle is λ = h/p where λ = wavelength h = Plank constant (6.626070040Ă—10^â’34 J*s) p = momentum (mass times velocity) So let's solve for momentum and from there get the mass λ = h/p λp = h p = h/λ Substitute known values and solve p = 6.626070040Ă—10^â’34 J*s/3.45Ă—10^-34 m p = 1.92 J*s/m Since momentum is the product of mass and velocity, we have p = M * V p/V = M So substitute again, and solve. p/V = M 1.92 J*s/m / 6.55 m/s = M 1.92 kg*m/s / 6.55 m/s = M 1.92 kg*m/s / 6.55 m/s = M 0.293 kg = M So the mass is 293 grams</span>
