Concept explainers
Marble is almost pure CaCO3. Acid rain has a devastating effect on marble statuary left outdoors. Assume that the reaction which occurs is
Neglecting all other competing equilibria and using Tables 15.1 and 13.2, calculate
(a) K for the reaction.
(b) the molar solubility of CaCO3 in pure water.
