The correct answer choice is CO₂ (B)

Rainwater naturally contains acids derived from carbon dioxide in the air and reacts with water vapor to form weak acids

H₂O + CO₂ ---> H₂CO₃

<h3><em>Further Explanation</em></h3>

Rainwater can cause damage to buildings, animals or plants due to acid rain

Acid rain occurs because other gases in the air mix with toxic gases to form acids

Rainwater naturally contains acids derived from carbon dioxide in the air and reacts with water vapor to form weak acids

H₂O + CO₂ ---> H₂CO₃

However, due to exhaust gases from industry, motor vehicles, or power plants that use fossil fuels containing sulfur to produce sulfur dioxide gas which will produce sulfuric acid

Sulfur combustion from fossil fuels

S + O₂ ----> SO₂

SO₂ produced from this exhaust gas reacts with O₂ oxygen which oxidizes SO₂ to SO₃

SO₂ + O₂ ----> SO₃

SO3 formed reacts with water vapor in the air to produce sulfuric acid as acid rain

SO₃ + H₂O ---> H₂SO₄

To reduce the pollution from this fossil fuel, various studies are now carried out as substitute energy that is more environmentally friendly such as solar energy and so on

Answer:

SO₂

Explanation:

Acid rain is due to SO₂.

SO₂ + ½ O₂ + H2O = H₂SO₄

H₂SO₄= 2H⁺ + SO₄²⁻

Harmful pollutant in the air such as sulfur dioxide creates acid rain. SO₂ reacts with water vapor and oxygen to form sulfuric acid, which makes the rain acidic. H₂SO₄ releases H⁺ which decreases the pH of rain water. At acidic pH rainwater is harmful to both living beings and architectural objects.

S + O2 → SO2
<span>z / (32.0655 g S/mol) x (1 mol SO2 / 1 mol S) x (64.0638 g SO2/mol) = (1.9979 z) g SO2 </span>

<span>C + O2 → CO2 </span>
<span>(9.0-z) / (12.01078 g C/mol) x (1 mol CO2 / 1 mol C) x (44.00964 g CO2/mol) = (32.9776 - 3.66418 z) g CO2 </span>

<span>Add the two masses of SO2 and CO2 and set them equal to the amount given in the problem: </span>
<span>(1.9979 z) + (32.9776 - 3.66418 z) = 27.9 </span>

Type the correct answer in each box.

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

5SiO2 + 2CaC2 = 5Si + 2CaO + 4CO2

Explanation:

balancing equations is a lot of trial and error. My strategy to approaching this equation was to get the O's balanced. After trying several combonations I found that I needed 10 O's on each side of the equation for the other elements to match up. After I balanced the O's, I balanced my C's to 4 on each side. Then I balanced my Ca's to have 2 on each side. And last but not least I balanced my Si to have 5 on each side.

What is the mass in grams of 358 mL of ethylene glycol?

frez [133]

The density of ethylene glycol is: D = 1.11 g/mL
D = m / V
and V = 358 mL
m = D * V
m = 1.11 g/mL * 358 mL
m = 397.38 g
Answer:
Mass is 397.38 g.

Given the following balanced chemical reaction:

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

according to balance chemical equation

3 A2 moles produced 2 moles of A3B

so 12 moles A2 will produced moles of A3B= 12*2/3=24/3= 8

therefore 12 moles of A2 produced 8 moles of A3B
