Chemistry
1 answer:
mote1985 [20]3 years ago
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.

Suppose you have a 0.10 M solution of AlBr3. What is the concentration of each ion? A. 0.10 M Al3+ ions and 0.30 M Br- ions B. 0
podryga [215]

<u>Answer:</u> The concentration of Al^{3+} ions is 0.10 M and that of Br^- ions is 0.30 M

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Concentration of AlBr_3 = 0.10 M

The chemical equation for the ionization of aluminium bromide follows:

AlBr_3\rightarrow Al^{3+}+3Br^-

1 mole of aluminium bromide produces 1 mole of aluminium ions and 3 moles of bromide ions

So, concentration of aluminium ions = 0.10 M

Concentration of bromide ions = [(3\times 0.1)]=0.3M

Hence, the concentration of Al^{3+} ions is 0.10 M and that of Br^- ions is 0.30 M

MrRa [10]
Mass =70 ( Mass of protons=1 ,Mass of neutrons =1, Mass of electron =0.0005(can be ignored))
Therefore, 40 +30=70
Charge= -2 ( it is taking in/attracting electrons to its shell) base on the proton number you are able to identify if it is attracting or releasing an electron, if the electron number is more than proton number then it is attracting therefore resulting in a negative charge vice versa for releasing an electron.
