3 0

Answer:

D. sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides dissolve in rainwater

Explanation:

Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are by products of fossil fuel combustion. The bulk of these gases are released into the atmosphere. When these gases gets to the atmosphere, they combine with rain water to form acid rain.

The oxides, sulfur dioxde and nitrogen oxides are non-metallic oxides. They are acid oxides that combines with water to produce an acid.

Burning of fossil fuels release these gases and they combine with rain water to form acid rain.

Acid rain is very corrosive and greatly affects the ecosystem.

How many grams of oxygen gas are there in a 2.3L tank at 7.5 atm and 24° C?
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

22.656 grams of oxygen gas are there in a 2.3L tank at 7.5 atm and 24° C

Explanation:

An ideal gas is characterized by three state variables: absolute pressure (P), volume (V), and absolute temperature (T). The relationship between them constitutes the ideal gas law:

P * V = n * R * T

where R is the molar constant of the gases and n the number of moles.

In this case you know:

  • P= 7.5 atm
  • V= 2.3 L
  • n= ?
  • R= 0.082 \frac{atm*L}{mol*K}
  • T= 24 °C= 297 °K (being 0°C=273°K)

Replacing:

7.5 atm* 2.3 L=n*0.082 \frac{atm*L}{mol*K} *297K

Solving:

n=\frac{7.5 atm* 2.3 L}{0.082 \frac{atm*L}{mol*K} *297K}

n=0.708 moles

Knowing that oxygen gas is a diatomic gas of molecular form O₂ and its mass is 32 g / mole, you can apply the following rule of three: if 1 mole contains 32 grams, 0.708 moles, how much mass will it have?

mass=\frac{0.708 moles*32 grams}{1mole}

mass= 22.656 grams

<u><em>22.656 grams of oxygen gas are there in a 2.3L tank at 7.5 atm and 24° C</em></u>

Which chemical equation represents a precipitation reaction?
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:- D.  Li_2CO_3(aq)+FeCl_2(aq)\rightarrow 2LiCl(aq)+FeCO_3(s)

Explanations:- In chemical equations, (aq) stands for aqueous, (l) stands for liquid, (g) stands for gas and (s) stands for solid. In double replacement reactions, (aq) means soluble and (s) means insoluble that is precipitate.

Looking at all the equations, it is only the last equation that has a solid product and so this is the only precipitation reaction. A precipitate for Iron(II)carbonate is formed in it.
