QUESTION:
A 2.0-L kettle contains 116 g of boiler scale \(\left(\mathrm{CaCO}_{3}\right)\). How many times would the kettle have to be completely filled with distilled water to remove all of the deposit?
ANSWER:Step 1 of 5
Given data:
The volume of the kettle is 2.0 L.
The mass of calcium carbonate \(\left(\mathrm{CaCO}_{3}\right)\) is 116 g.
The molar mass of calcium carbonate is 100.1 g/mol.
The solubility product constant \(({K_{sp}})\) of calcium carbonate at \({25^{\rm{o}}}\;{\rm{C}}\) is \(8.7 \times {10^{ - 9}}\).
