. Marble is a rock that is composed primarily of the carbonate minerals calcite (CaCO3) and dolomite (Ca,Mg(CO3)2). In Exercise

2, you saw the way carbonate minerals react to a drop of acetic acid. Based on this observation, why do you think people who care for monuments and sculptures made of marble are concerned about acid rain?

Answer:

Explanation:

People who use marble to carve monuments and sculptures are always concerned because it can easily chemically weather.

Marble is a metamorphic rock derieved from limestone. The minerals that makes up limestone are calcite and dolomite. When a metamorphic transformation occurs, the rock is subjected to intense temperature and pressure. Marble is made of calcite and dolomite minerals.

Rain water dissolves carbon dioxide to form weak carbonic acid. This weak carbonic acid can easily dissolve marble thereby defacing the monument and the sculpture.

Which ionic compound is soluble in water pbbr2, fe (oh)3,ca(no3)2, baso4?
Anton [14]

Ionic compound are those compounds which are made up of ions. The ion which has tendency to loose electrons is said to cation (positive charge) such as metals whereas ion which has tendency to gain electrons is said to anion (negative charge) such as non-metals.

Calcium nitrate is quite soluble in water due to very low lattice enthalpy in comparison to other ionic compound. With lower lattice enthalpy, less energy is required for the dissociation of calcium nitrate and it get dissolves in water than other three compounds. Moreover, hydration energy is higher for calcium nitrate which make its solubility higher in water than other ionic species.

Thus, Ca(NO_{3})_{2} is correct answer.

Use the particle theory to explain,liquid to soild process
hjlf

The liquid to solid process  using the particle theory is as below


  • The process  that involve  change    of liquid to solid  is known as  Freezing
  • It involve  change from a high energy state to lower energy
  • The constant  temperature at  which  a liquid change to solid by giving  out heat energy is called freezing point  of the liquid
  • when  liquid are cooled  the thermal energy  of  particles  decrease.
  • The cohesive forces  between  the  particles strengthen  to such extent  that particles  can have relative motion with each other and they occupy the fixed position, thus liquid is converted to solid
