CaCO₃ partially dissociates in water as Ca²⁺ and CO₃²⁻. The balanced equation is,
CaCO₃(s) ⇄ Ca²⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq)
Initial Y - -
Change -X +X +X
Equilibrium Y-X X X
Ksp for the CaCO₃(s) is 3.36 x 10⁻⁹ M²
Ksp = [Ca²⁺(aq)][CO₃²⁻(aq)]
3.36 x 10⁻⁹ M² = X * X
3.36 x 10⁻⁹ M² = X²
X = 5.79 x 10⁻⁵ M
Hence the solubility of CaCO₃(s) = 5.79 x 10⁻⁵ M
= 5.79 x 10⁻⁵ mol/L
Molar mass of CaCO₃ = 100 g mol⁻¹
Hence the solubility of CaCO₃ = 5.79 x 10⁻⁵ mol/L x 100 g mol⁻¹
= 5.79 x 10⁻³ g/L

To solve this problem, we must assume ideal gas behaviour so
that we can use Graham’s law:
vA / vB = sqrt (MW_B / MW_A)
where,
<span>vA = speed of diffusion of A (HBR)</span>
vB = speed of diffusion of B (unknown)
MW_B = molecular weight of B (unkown)
MW_A = molar weight of HBr = 80.91 amu
We know from the given that:
vA / vB = 1 / 1.49
So,
1/1.49 = sqrt (MW_B / 80.91)
MW_B = 36.44 g/mol
Since this unknown is also hydrogen halide, therefore this
must be in the form of HX.
HX = 36.44 g/mol , therefore:
x = 35.44 g/mol
From the Periodic Table, Chlorine (Cl) has a molar mass of
35.44 g/mol. Therefore the hydrogen halide is:
HCl
