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.

How many pounds of ice are required to absorb 4900 kJ of heat as the ice melts? The heat of fusion of water is 0.334 kJ/g.
Goshia [24]

Answer:

m = 32.34 pounds of ice.

Explanation:

In this case we need to use the following expression of heat:

q = m * ΔHf   (1)

Where:

q: heat absorbed in J or kJ

m: mass of the compound in g

ΔHf: heat of fusion of the water in kJ/g

We are asked to look for the mass of ice in pounds, so after we get the grams, we need to convert the grams to pounds, using the following conversion:

1 pound --------> 453.59 g   (2)

So, we have the heat and heat of fusion, from (1) let's solve for the mass, and then, using (2) the conversion to pounds:

q = m * ΔHf  

m =  q / ΔHf

m = 4900 / 0.334 = 14,670.66 g of ice

Now, the conversion to pounds:

m = 14,670.66 g * 1 pound/453.59 g

<h2>m = 32.34 pounds of ice.</h2>

Answer questions a-c about the Bronsted acid-base reaction below using the identifying letters A-D below each structure. The pKa
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

a  H2CO3 b HCO3- and c H+ and HCO3-

Explanation:

As the pKa value of phenol is more than that of carbonic acid(H2CO3), the carbonic acid will have high Ka value than that of phenol.

  The acid that contain high Ka value act as stong acid.From that point of view H2CO3 is a strong acid than phenol as the Ka value of carbonic acid is greater than that of phenol.

  The conjugate base of H2CO3 is bicarbonate ion(HCO3-)

c The species that predorminates at equilibrium are H+ and HCO3-
