What is the connection between the rising concentration of SO2 And NO2x , And The Acid Rain Pollution Alert?
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Acid rain refers to the rain which acidic in nature having a form of precipitation and elevated levels of hydrogen ions (low pH). The normal pH of rain is around 5.6

Rising concentration of Sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) in atmosphere is one of the cause of acid rain. Sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) are released by vehicles, fossil-fuel power plants and oil refineries.

When a sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides released in air they mix with oxygen, water and other chemicals in the air and form sulfuric and nitric acids. sulfuric and nitric acids mix with precipitation and its pH level is about 5.2 or below.

Hence, rising concentration of SO2 And NO2x is one of the biggest reason of acid which damages agriculture, buildings and wildlife et-cetra.

What do catalytic converters do?
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

a catalytic converter is device made up from metals like metals like palladium and rhodium to reduce the toxic gases emitted in the environment

Explanation:

Catalytic converter is an exhaust emission controlling device. It was made to reduce pollutants in air. Almost every automobile has a catalytic converter. It is present to completely remove the fuel that was not combusted and other toxic/dangerous compounds before they are let out in the environment.

If the catalytic converters are not used then the harmful compounds are released in the air and thus increasing air pollution and also decreasing the air quality for breathing in the surrounding environment.

3A- Negative feedback occurs when some function of the output of a system, process, or mechanism is fed back in a manner that tends to reduce the fluctuations in the output, whether caused by changes in the input or by other disturbances.

3B- Negative feedback loops are used to maintain homeostasis and achieve the set point within a system. Negative feedback loops are characterized by their ability to either increase or decrease a stimulus, inhibiting the ability of the stimulus to continue as it did prior to sensing of the receptor.

Hope I’ve helped ;)

What is true about the relationship of adenine and thymine?
MAXImum [283]
<span>DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. The deoxy- in the DNA is a short term for deoxyribose. The nucleic acid molecule has three parts; sugar, phosphate and a base. The phosphate in the DNA acts as a backbone of the molecule. It is also responsible for the DNA’s ‘double-helix’ structure. The base has four codes namely adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine. Adenine and thymine are bse pairs whereas cytosine and guanine are base pairs. They are not to be interchanged. Resulting in one cause mutation in the gene. </span>
