(choose chapter or problem)

The creation of shells by mollusk species is a fascinating process. By utilizing the Ca21 in their food and aqueous environment, as well as some complex equilibrium processes, a hard calcium carbonate shell can be produced. One important equilibrium reaction in this complex process is HCO3 2 1aq2mH1 1aq2 1 CO3 22 1aq2 K 5 5.6 3 10211 If 0.16 mole of HCO3 2 is placed into 1.00 L of solution, what will be the equilibrium concentration of CO3 2 2?
