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

Water has a boiling point of 100.0°C and a Kb of 0.512°C/m. What is the boiling
Reil [10]

Answer:

The boiling  point of a 8.5 m solution of Mg3(PO4)2 in water is<u> 394.91 K.</u>

Explanation:

The formula for molal boiling Point elevation is :

\Delta T_{b} = iK_{b}m

\Delta T_{b} = elevation in boiling Point

K_{b} = Boiling point constant( ebullioscopic constant)

m = molality of the solution

<em>i =</em> Van't Hoff Factor

Van't Hoff Factor = It takes into accounts,The abnormal values of Temperature change due to association and dissociation .

In solution Mg3(PO4)2 dissociates as follow :

Mg_{3}(PO_{4})_{2}\rightarrow 3Mg^{2+} + 2 PO_{4}^{3-}

Total ions after dissociation in solution :

= 3 ions of Mg + 2 ions of phosphate

Total ions = 5

<em>i =</em> Van't Hoff Factor = 5

m = 8.5 m

K_{b} = 0.512 °C/m

Insert the values and calculate temperature change:

\Delta T_{b} = iK_{b}m

\Delta T_{b} = 5\times 0.512\times 8.5

\Delta T_{b} = 21.76 K

Boiling point of pure water = 100°C = 273.15 +100 = 373.15 K

\Delta T_{b} = T_{b} - T_{b}_{pure}

T_{b}_{pure} = 373.15 K[/tex]

21.76 = T - 373.15

T = 373.15 + 21.76

T =394.91 K

Which part of the periodic would contain an element with a partially filled f sublevel
noname [10]

Answer: Lanthanide and actinide series

Explanation: The elements with partially or fully filled f orbitals belong to f block elements.

f block elements include lanthanides and actinides. They are called so the lanthanides contain the first element named as lanthanum and actinides contain first element named as actinium. They are also called as inner transition elements.

All of them have general electronic configuration:

(n-2)f^{1-14}(n-1)d^{0-10}ns^2, where n = 6-7

Which best discribe a role of animal in the water cycle
77julia77 [94]
Animals contribute water mainly through breathing, perspiration and urination. ... When droplets of sweat evaporate from the surface of an animal's skin, they take a bit of the animal's body heat with them. They also turn into water vapor and enter the water cycle, just like water evaporating from plant leaves.
