Question- One method for neutralizing streams that are polluted by acid mine drainage (acids that drain out of abandoned mines) is to treat the polluted streams with limestone, CaC)3. The Net Iconic equation is:
2H^+1 + CO3^-2 -----> CO2 + H2O
If the average hydrogen ion concentration in a polluted stream is 8.15*10^-4 moles per liter of stream solution, how many liters of the stream solution can be neutralized per ton of limestone that is 95% pure? (1 ton = 908 kg, molecular weight of CaCO3 is 100 g/mole) Assume the reaction goes to completion
Anyone can tell me how to solve it step by step so that I will be able to understand what is going on?
