[Ca2+] in normal rainwater of pH 5.0 = 0.024 M

a) Determine the molar solubility of marble (that is, [Ca2+] ina saturated solution).

b) Determine the equilibrium constant for the overall reactionthat 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 otherthan what is written above. I'm not sure how to go about solving itwith this amount of information.
