North of Kingston you discover a hidden mountain and name it Mt. Kevinmanjaro, which weighs 1x1012 kg and is made entirely of CaCO3(s) (MW = 100 g/mol, Ksp = 3.3×10–9). Each year the mountain received approximately 1×106 L of rainfall, which flow from the mountain completely saturated with Ca2+(aq). How many years will it take to entirely dissolve Mt. Kevinmanjaro? 226 million years 226 billion years 174 billion years 199 billion years 300 million years
