1. Acids rains are rains which have acidic components such as sulfuric acid, nitric acid and carbonic acid. Those acids are made by dissolving the components in water which are from oxidation of the gases such as  SO₂, NO₂ and CO₂. The marble has CaCO₃ as the major component. The acids in acid rains can react with CaCO₃ by producing soluble salts. That's why <span>acid rain dissolves statues made of marble.

2. The reaction between CaCO</span>₃ and H₂SO₄ acid is
      CaCO₃(s) + H₂SO₄(aq) → CaSO₄(aq) + CO₂(g) + H₂O(l)

CaSO
₄ is slightly soluble in water. But the solubility of CaSO₄ compared to CaCO₃ is very high. Hence, due to the acid rains, <span>degradation of </span>statues made of marble (CaCO₃) is higher than in normal situations.

How many grams of CaCl2 should be dissolved in 445.2 mL of water to make a 0.19 M solution of CaCl2?
maksim [4K]

In order to solve this, you will need to know how many moles of CaCl2 you will need, and to do so, you must look at the concentration of the solution.

You are told that the concentration of the solution is 0.19M, meaning that there is 0.19 moles of CaCl2 for every 1 liter of solution. However, you don't have 1 liter of solution, you have 445.2 mL. You must convert this to liters by dividing by 1000.

445.2 mL *  (1 L / 1000 mL) = 0.4452 L

Now, you can solve for how many moles the solution must have. Since M = mol / L and you are given M and L, you can set up an equality as follows:

0.19M = mol / 0.4452 L

Now, in order to find the number of moles, you multiply both sides by 0.4452L

0.19M * 0.4452 L = moles = 0.084588mol  

Now, you must calculate the molar mass of CaCl2 by using the periodic table

MM Ca = 40.078 g/mol

MM Cl = 35.452 g/mol

40.078 + (35.452 * 2) = 110.982 g/mol

Now you multiply the number of moles in the solution you calculated by the molar mass.

0.084588mol * 110.982 g/mol = 9.387 g CaCl2

A team of scientists is conducting tests to measure the boiling point of a liquid using a thermometer in the liquid. The team is
NISA [10]

The most reasonable step to take will be to check the calibration of the

thermometer to ensure that it is giving accurate readings.

Experiments which are done to be give the same results under standard

conditions. Common causes of incorrect results during the analysis of

boiling point of substances include heating the substance too rapidly or

the thermometer not being properly calibrated.

The thermometer is used to measure the temperature and so must be

properly calibrated to give accurate readings.
