- Actually, the carbon in CO2(g) is thermodynamically unstable with respect to the carbon in calcium carbonate(limestone). Verify this by determining the standardGibbs free energy change for the reaction of lime,CaO(s), with CO2(g) to make CaCO3(s).arrow_forwardThe pH of an aqueous solution of 3.91×10-2 M potassium fluoride, KF (aq), is ? And it is acidic, nuetral or basic.arrow_forwardExpress the concentration in % w/v that is equivalent to 0.5 M NaOHsolution.arrow_forward
- The molar solubility of Ag2C2O4 increases when it is dissolved in 0.5 M HClO4 (aq) instead of neutral distilled water. Write a balanced, net-ionic equation for the process that occurs between species in solution that contributes to the increased solubility of Ag2C2O4 (aq) in HClO4 (aq).arrow_forwardIf the equilibrium constant for the reaction A+ B ⇌ C is reported as 0.432, what would be the equilibrium constant for the reaction written as C ⇌ A+ B?arrow_forwardThe equilibruim constant for the formation of calcium carbonate from the ions in solution is 2.2 x 108 according to the reaction: Ca2+(aq) + CO32- (aq) = CaCO3(s) What is the value of the equilibrium constant for the reverse of this reaction?arrow_forward
