Missing in your question :

Ksp of(CaCO3)= 4.5 x 10 -9

Ka1 for (H2CO3) =  4.7 x 10^-7

Ka2 for (H2CO3) = 5.6 x 10 ^-11

1) equation 1 for Ksp = 4.5 x 10^-9 

CaCO3(s)→ Ca +2(aq)    +  CO3-2(aq)  

2) equation 2 for Ka1 = 4.7 x 10^-7

 H2CO3 + H2O → HCO3- + H3O+

3) equation 3 for Ka2 = 5.6 x 10^-11

 HCO3-(aq) + H2O(l) → CO3-2 (aq)  + H3O+(aq)

so, form equation 1& 2&3 we can get the overall equation:
CaCO3(s)  +  H+(aq)  → Ca2+(aq)   + HCO3-(aq)

note: you could get the overall equation by adding equation 1 to the inverse of equation 3 as the following:
when the inverse of equation 3 is :

CO3-2 (aq) + H3O+ (aq) ↔ HCO3- (aq) + H2O(l)  Ka2^-1 = 1.79 x 10^10
when we add it to equation 1
CaCO3(s) ↔ Ca2+(aq)  +  CO3-2(aq)   Ksp = 4.5 x 10^-9

∴ the overall equation will be as we have mentioned before:
when H3O+ = H+

CaCO3(s) + H+(aq)  ↔ Ca2+ (aq) + HCO3-(aq)   K= 80.55

from the overall equation:

∴K = [Ca2+][HCO3-] / [H+]

when we have [Ca2+] = [HCO3-] so we can assume both = X

∴K = X^2 / [H+]

when we have the PH = 5.6 so we can get [H+]

PH = - ㏒[H+]
5.6 = -㏒[H]
∴[H] = 2.5 x 10^-6

so, by substitution on K expression:

∴ 80.55 = X^2 / (2.5 x10^-6)

∴X = 0.0142

∴[Ca2+] = X = 0.0142

if a and b are directly proportional and the value of a becomes 1/4 as much ,what happens to the value of b
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

Becomes 1/4 as much

Explanation:

If a and b are directly proportional, this means we may write an equality between them if some proportionality constant, k, is included, so that:

a=kb

The equation shows that:

k=\frac{a}{b}

And since k is a constant, this would imply that increasing a by some fraction would also require b to increase by the same fraction.

In the context of this problem, we're given that a becomes 1/4 as much, meaning b should also become 1/4 as much to keep the same proportionality constant, k.

How did Mendeleev feel about Russian science education when he came back from Germany
krok68 [10]

As he began to teach inorganic chemistry, Mendeleev could not find a textbook that met his needs. Since he had already published a textbook on organic chemistry in 1861 that had been awarded the prestigious Demidov Prize, he set out to write another one. The result was Osnovy khimii (1868–71; The Principles of Chemistry), which became a classic, running through many editions and many translations. When Mendeleev began to compose the chapter on the halogen elements (chlorine and its analogs) at the end of the first volume, he compared the properties of this group of elements to those of the group of alkali metals such as sodium. Within these two groups of dissimilar elements, he discovered similarities in the progression of atomic weights, and he wondered if other groups of elements exhibited similar properties. After studying the alkaline earths, Mendeleev established that the order of atomic weights could be used not only to arrange the elements within each group but also to arrange the groups themselves. Thus, in his effort to make sense of the extensive knowledge that already existed of the chemical and physical properties of the chemical elements and their compounds, Mendeleev discovered the periodic law.

Potassium (needs to lose 1 electron) responds with Iodine (needs to pick up 1 electron) to fulfill both component's octet, shaping a salt, potassium iodide 
This is a similar case for NaCl, simply unique components. Trust this made a difference.

What cause the ratio of PV/RT to drop below 1 when 1 mole of
pentagon [3]

Answer:

pressure and temperature are directly proportional.

Explanation:

At constant temperature and pressure the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles of gas. Also given a constant temperature and volume the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles of gas.

This means that if V is constant then

P = n (RT/V) then n= PV/RT. As P is increased, T is also increased thereby decreasing the value of n since pressure and temperature are directly proportional.
