Chapter 20, Problem 29E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The molar solubility of calcium carbonate ( ${\text{CaCO}}_{\text{3}}$) in water should be identified.

Concept introduction:

Molar solubility is the number of moles of a substance (the solute) that can be dissolved per liter of solution before the solution becomes saturated.  It can be calculated from a substance's solubility product constant $\left({\text{K}}_{\text{sp}}\right)$ and stoichiometry.
