Explain in detail how acid rain is formed

Biology
1 answer:
Strike441 [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: Acid rain is a product of the <u>chemical reaction of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide that is released with water, oxygen, and other chemicals into the atmosphere.</u> <u>Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide dissolve in water and can be carried several miles by the wind</u>. After traveling for a long distance,<u> the two compounds become part of rain, sleet, snow or fog.</u> <u>Power plants emit sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide when fossil fuels such as coal are burned to produce electricity.</u> Aswell as <u>the exhaust from cars, trucks, and buses releases sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide into the air.</u>

Which of the following best explains why a structural formula of a chemical compound is more useful than a molecular formula?
Fittoniya [83]

Answer: Both formulas identify the specific atoms in a particular compound. However, a structural formula also shows how the atoms in a compound are bonded together.

Explanation:

Molecular formula is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.  

Empirical formula is the simplest chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

Structural formula is the formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound by showing the bonding between the atoms.

Lewis structures show the valence electrons around each atom present in the compound.

How does the Richter scale measure an earthquake?
USPshnik [31]

Richter's original magnitude scale (ML) was extended to observations of earthquakes of any distance and of focal depths ranging between 0 and 700 km. Because earthquakes excite both body waves, which travel into and through the Earth, and surface waves, which are constrained to follow the natural waveguide of the Earth's uppermost layers, two magnitude scales evolved - the MB and MS scales.

The standard body-wave magnitude formula is

MB = log10(A/T) + Q(D,h) ,

where A is the amplitude of ground motion (in microns); T is the corresponding period (in seconds); and Q(D,h) is a correction factor that is a function of distance, D (degrees), between epicenter and station and focal depth, h (in kilometers), of the earthquake. The standard surface-wave formula is

MS = log10 (A/T) + 1.66 log10 (D) + 3.30 .

There are many variations of these formulas that take into account effects of specific geographic regions so that the final computed magnitude is reasonably consistent with Richter's original definition of ML. Negative magnitude values are permissible.
