From the given pH, we calculate the concentration of H+:
     [H+] = 10^-pH = 10^-5.5
We then use the volume to solve for the number of moles of H+:
     moles H+ = 10^-5.5M * 4.3x10^9 L =  13598 moles
From the balanced equation of the neutralization of hydrogen ion by limestone written as
     CaCO3(s) + 2H+(aq)  → Ca2+(aq) + H2CO3(aq)
we use the mole ratio of limestone CaCO3 and H+ from their coefficients, which is 1 mole of CaCO3 is to react with 2 moles of H+, to compute for the mass of the limestone:
     mass CaCO3 = 13598mol H+(1mol CaCO3/2mol H+)
                               (100.0869g CaCO3/1mol CaCO3)(1kg/1000g) 
                            = 680 kg

What is the solution called in the buret during a titration? g?
Paul [167]
The solution inside the buret during a titration is called the titrant. The titrant is the solution of known concentration and is made to react with the analyte or the solution with the unknown concentration. A colored indicator is added to the analyte and when the color changes upon addition of the titrant, it is said that the endpoint has been reached.

three moles of sodium carbonate are mixed with two moles of lead nitrate in aqueous solution, leading to formation of a solid pr
aleksandrvk [35]

There are 4 moles of spectator ions that remain in solution.

The equation of the reaction is;

Na2CO3(aq) + Pb(NO3)2(aq) -------> PbCO3(s) + 2NaNO3(aq)

We have to determine the limiting reactant. This is the reactant that yields the least amount of product. Note that the spectator ions are Na^+ and NO3^- that form NaNO3.

For Na2CO3

1 mole of Na2CO3 yields 2 moles of NaNO3

3 moles of Na2CO3 yields  3 × 2/1 = 6 moles of NaNO3

For Pb(NO3)2

1 mole of Pb(NO3)2 yields 2 moles of NaNO3

2 moles of Pb(NO3)2 yields 2 × 2/1 = 4 moles of NaNO3

We can see that Pb(NO3)2 is the limiting reactant.

Since [NaNO3] = [Na^+] = [NO3^-], it follows that there are 4 moles of spectator ions that remain in solution.
