The chief compound in marble is CaCO3. However, marble is readily attacked by acids.
[Ca2+] in normal rainwater of pH 5.0 = 0.024 M
a) Determine the molar solubility of marble (that is, [Ca2+] in a saturated solution).
b) Determine the equilibrium constant for the overall reaction that occurs when marble reacts with acid
CaCO3 (s) + H3O+ ↔ Ca2+ (aq) + HCO3- (aq) + H2O (l)
My problem is that I have been given no more information other than what is written above. I'm not sure how to go about solving it with this amount of information.

A steel sample weighing 1.000 g is dissolved in acids and treated with persulfate and periodate to oxidize Mn to MnO4- and Cr to Cr2O7-. The solution is finally diluted to 100.00 mL in a volumetric flask. An aliquot placed in a 1.00-cm cuvette yielded an absorbance of 0.113 at 440 nm and of 1.304 at 545 nm. The absorbance for a reagent blank was 0.005 at 440 nm and 0.008 at 545 nm. Calculate the percentages (m/m) of Cr and Mn in the steel. The molar absorptivity of Cr2O7- is 369 M-1cm-1 at 440 nm and 11 M-1cm-1 at 545 nm whereas that of MnO4- is 95 M-1cm-1 at 440 nm and 2350 M-1cm-1 at 545 nm. The molar mass of Mn is 54.94 g/mol and that of Cr is 52.00 g/mol.
