Argon is a noble gas. Argon has a full outer shell. This makes it so that it does not need to react with any of the other elements to be stable.
With Rubidium and Cobalt its a whole different story.
I hope that helps!
Answer:
a)
is the mass of 1 mole of bricks.
b)
moles of bricks have a mass equal to the mass of the Earth.
Explanation:
a) Mass of brick = 4.0 kg
1 mole =
particles/ atoms/molecules
Mass of
bricks :

is the mass of 1 mole of bricks.
b)
Mass of the Earth = M = 
Mass of 1 mole of brick = m=
Let the moles of brick with equal mass of the Earth be x.


moles of bricks have a mass equal to the mass of the Earth.
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
