Would it be possible to estimate the calcium carbonate content of an antacid tablet by precipitation with an ion other than carbonate? explain your answer.

Hey there!:

The answer for this question is no.

It’s not possible.  

Reason: Precipitation reaction depends on the ions in the aqueous phase reacts and form precipitation.  Buts actually calcium carbonate is insoluble water so it will not form ions and no any ions will be there in the solution from calcium carbonate. If there is no any ions in the solution we can not calculated moles of calcium carbonate.

Hope that helps!

acid rain does not usually kill trees directly. instead, it is more likely to weaken the trees by damaging their leaves, limiting the nutrients available to them, or poisoning them with toxic substances slowly released from the soil. the main atmospheric pollutants that affect trees are nitrates and sulphates.

a 20-cm-long, cylindrical graphite (pure carbon) rod is inserted into an oxidizing atmosphere at 1145 k and 1.013 x 105 pa pressure. the oxidizing process is limited by the diffu- sion of oxygen counterflow to the carbon monoxide that is formed on the cylindrical surface.
