True

Carbon monoxide is a primary pollutant which no odor results from incomplete combustion of fuel. The man sources are gasoline and burning of biomass.

Depending on the source of emission, pollutants can be classified into two groups that is primary and secondary pollutants.

A primary pollutant is emitted in the atmosphere directly from a source. It can be either natural sch as volcanic eruptions, sandstorms or man-made that is due to industrial and vehicle emissions. Examples of primary pollutants are nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and particulate matter.

Secondary pollutant is due to interactions between primary and secondary pollutants. These can be chemical or physical interactions. Examples are photo-chemical oxidants and secondary particulate matter.

Therefore, carbon monoxide CO is a primary pollutant.

How many moles of sodium hydroxide would react with 1 Mole of sulphuric acid?

Paul [167]

Answer:

Two moles.

Explanation:

Sulphuric (sulfuric) acid $\rm H_2SO_4$ is a diprotic acid. When one mole of $\rm H_2SO_4$ molecules dissolve in water, two moles of $\rm H^{+}$ ions would be produced.

$\rm H_2SO_4 \to 2\, H^{+} + {SO_4}^{2-}$ .

On the other hand, sodium hydroxide $\rm NaOH$ is a monoprotic base. When one mole of $\rm NaOH$ formula units dissolve in water, only one mole of hydroxide ions $\rm OH^{-}$ would be produced.

$\rm NaOH \to Na^{+} + OH^{-}$ .

Note that $\rm H^{+}$ and $\rm OH^{-}$ react at a one-to-one ratio:

$\rm H^{+} + OH^{-} \to H_2O$ .

As a result, it would take $2\; \rm mol$ of $\rm OH^{-}$ to react with the $\rm 2\; mol$ of $\rm H^{+}$ that was released when $1\; \rm mol$ of $\rm H_2SO_4$ is dissolved in water. Since one mole of $\rm NaOH$ formula units could produce only one mole of $\rm OH^{-}$ , it would take $\rm 2\; mol$ of $\rm NaOH$ formula units to produce that $2\; \rm mol$ of $\rm OH^{-}$ for reacting with $1\; \rm mol$ of $\rm H_2SO_4$ .

How are the parts of a wave related? Describe it and include the formula

KonstantinChe [14]

Different parts of wave include Amplitude,wavelength,period,frequency,time-period,speed,velocity .

Explanation:

Waves are one way in which energy may be transferred. Both mechanical and electromagnetic waves will transfer energy.

When a wave is drawn on a graph the vertical axis is the amplitude of the wave while the horizontal axis can be either distance or time.

The highest point on the graph of the wave is called the crest and the lowest point is called the trough.The line through the center of the wave is the resting position of the medium if there was no wave passing through.

The different properties of a wave include:

Amplitude,wavelength,period,frequency,time-period,speed,velocity etc..

The wavelength of a wave is the distance between two two crests of a wave or two troughs of a wave. The wavelength is usually represented in physics by the Greek letter lambda (λ).

The frequency of a wave is the number of times per second that the wave cycles. Frequency is measured in Hertz or cycles per second and often represented by the lower case "f."

The period of the wave is the time between wave crests. The period is measured in time units such as seconds and is usually represented by the upper case "T".

The period and frequency are closely related to each other. The period equals 1 over the frequency and the frequency is equal to one over the period. They are reciprocals of each other as shown in the following formulas.

period = 1/frequency or T = 1/f

frequency = 1/period or f = 1/T

Another important property of a wave is the speed of propagation. This is how fast the disturbance of the wave is moving. The speed of mechanical waves depends on the medium that the wave is traveling through. For example, sound will travel at a different speed in water than in air.

The velocity of a wave is usually represented by the letter "v". The velocity can be calculated by multiplying the frequency by the wavelength.

velocity = frequency * wavelength or v = f * λ
