The solubility of limestone, CaCO3, at 25˚C is 0.00067 g/100 mL. Write the chemical equation for the solubility equilibrium of this sparingly soluble salt in water. Then compute the molar solubility and the solubility product constant Ksp for CaCO3 at 25˚C.

4.5 × 10⁻⁹

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the reaction for the solution of CaCO₃

CaCO₃(s) ⇄ Ca²⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq)

Step 2: Convert the solubility of CaCO₃ from g/L to mol/L

We will use the following conversion factors:

Step 3: Calculate the solubility product constant (Ksp)

To relate Ksp and the molar solubility (S), we need to make an ICE chart.

        CaCO₃(s) ⇄ Ca²⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq)

I                               0                0

C                            +S               +S

E                              S                 S

The solubility product constant is:

Ksp = [Ca²⁺].[CO₃²⁻] = S² = (6.7 × 10⁻⁵)² = 4.5 × 10⁻⁹

in cartography, a contour line (often just called a "contour") joins points of equal elevation (height) above a given level, such as mean sea level. a contour map is a map illustrated with contour lines, for example a topographic map, which thus shows valleys and hills, and the steepness or gentleness of slopes.
