The following chart shows the solubility of various ionic compounds in water at 1 atm pressure and room temperature (approx. 25 °C, 298.15 K). "Soluble" means the ionic compound doesn't precipitate, while "slightly soluble" and "insoluble" mean that a solid will precipitate; "slightly soluble" compounds like calcium sulfate may require heat to precipitate.
The tables below provides information on the variation of solubility of different substances (mostly inorganic compounds) in water with temperature, at one atmosphere pressure. Units of solubility are given in grams of substance per 100 millilitres of water (g/(100 mL)), unless shown otherwise. The substances are listed in alphabetical order.
The reaction of calcium carbide with water, producing acetylene and calcium hydroxide, [5] was discovered by Friedrich Wöhler in 1862. CaC 2 ( s ) + 2H 2 O ( l ) → C 2 H 2 ( g ) + Ca(OH) 2 (aq) This reaction was the basis of the industrial manufacture of acetylene , and is the major industrial use of calcium carbide.
Calcium carbonate reacts with water that is saturated with carbon dioxide to form the soluble calcium bicarbonate. CaCO 3 (s) + CO 2 (g) + H 2 O(l) → Ca(HCO 3) 2 (aq) This reaction is important in the erosion of carbonate rock, forming caverns, and leads to hard water in many regions. An unusual form of calcium carbonate is the hexahydrate ...
The aquatic inorganic carbon system is composed of the various ionic, dissolved, solid, and/or gaseous forms of carbon dioxide in water. These species include dissolved carbon dioxide, carbonic acid, bicarbonate anion, carbonate anion, calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, and others. The relative amounts of each species in a body of water ...
Carbon dioxide is soluble in water and is found in groundwater, lakes, ice caps, and seawater. It is a trace gas in Earth's atmosphere at 421 parts per million (ppm) [ a ] , or about 0.042% (as of May 2022) having risen from pre-industrial levels of 280 ppm or about 0.028%.
As the groundwater enters the cave, the excess carbon dioxide is released from the solution of the bicarbonate, causing the much less soluble calcium carbonate to be deposited. In the reverse process, dissolved carbon dioxide (CO 2) in rainwater (H 2 O) reacts with limestone calcium carbonate (CaCO 3) to form soluble calcium bicarbonate (Ca(HCO ...
The exact value of the CCD depends on the solubility of calcium carbonate which is determined by temperature, pressure and the chemical composition of the water – in particular the amount of dissolved CO 2 in the water. Calcium carbonate is more soluble at lower temperatures and at higher pressures.
