The given above pretty much states already that with the presence of the calcium carbonate which acts as the buffer will allow the solution to withstand changes in acidity. The greater the amount, the higher chances that it will be able to withstand the said changes. Therefore, if Lake X had greater ppm of CaCO3 then, it will be able to withstand greater amount of acid rain.
From the calculation, the standard free energy of the system is -359kJ.
<h3>What is the standard free-energy?</h3>
The standard free-energy is the energy present in the system. We have to first obtain the cell potential using the formula;
Ereduction - E oxidation = 0.96 V - 0.34 V = 0.62 V
Using the formula;
ΔG = -nFEcell
ΔG =-(6 * 96500 * 0.62)
ΔG =-359kJ
