The rare mineral nesquehonite contains MgCO3, together with hydration water (MgCO3.xH2O). A sample containing 21.7 g of nesquehonite is acidified and heated, and 3.51 L of CO2(g) at 0oC and 1 atm are produced. Assuming all the carbonate has reacted to form CO2(g), what is the chemical formula of nesquehonite? Write a chemical equation and the equilibrium constant (solubility product) expression for the dissolution of magnesite in water
