Answer: Acid rain.
Explanation:
According to some experts, acid precipitation can lead to acid rain. Acid rain is a product of chemical reactions caused by the release of compounds such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides into the air. These substances can form in the atmosphere itself and react with water, oxygen, and other chemicals to form more acidic pollutants, known as acid rain.
There are specific theories that nitrogen oxides cause acid rain, in other sulfur oxides, which are produced by the combustion of coal or petroleum products, for example, in thermal power plants, automobile engines, and plants for the production and purification of metals. With water vapor, they produce nitric or sulfuric acid, respectively. This natural disaster is very bad for flora and fauna, it has a particular negative reflection on forests and the aquatic world, especially fish.
Answer and Explanation:
The explanation given in the problem is correct but not totally encompassing.
Van der waals interactions are a type of hydrophobic interaction, in which they do not interact with the polar water molecule. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms of relatively similar electronegativities, and are most often too strong to disrupt by polar molecules of water. Therefore, covalent bonds and van der waals forces have an Intrinsic bond strength value that is independent of the environment.
However, either the partial negative oxygen atom or the partial positive hydrogen atoms in water molecules disrupt hydrogen or ionic bonds. Water is known to form hydrogen bonds with other polar or charged molecules, thus reducing the strength of interaction these molecules would normally have in the absence of water. Basically, these compounds with Hydrogen or Ionic bonds ionize, whether partially or fully in water, thereby leading to a decrease in bond strength in water.

<u>Answer:</u> The change in enthalpy for the given system is -642.8 kJ/mol
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the change in enthalpy for given Gibbs free energy, we use the equation:
where,
= Gibbs free energy = -717.5 kJ/mol = -717500 J/mol (Conversion factor: 1 kJ = 1000 J)
= change in enthalpy = ?
T = temperature = 337 K
= change in entropy = 221.7 J/mol.K
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the change in enthalpy for the given system is -642.8 kJ/mol
