Fossil fuel combustion increases the acidity of rain because the sulfur dioxide is produced.
Because of fuel combustion, sulfur dioxide goes up into the atmosphere as the hot gases rise, than it reacts with water and oxygen in the air and form sulfuric <span>acid:
</span>Balanced chemical reaction: SO₂(g) + 2O₂(g) + 2H₂O → 2H₂SO₄.
<span>According to octet rule, atoms with an atomic number less than 20 tend to combine with other atom such that both of these atoms have eight electrons in their valence shells, which gives them the same electronic configuration as that of noble gas.
However, there are few compound that donot obey octel rule. Among the elements mentioned above i.e. oxygen and helium obeys octet rule.
In case of nitrogen, oxide of nitrogen (like NO and NO2) have incomplete octet.
While there are few compounds of Br wherein Br has expanded octet. For example, in BrF5, Br has 12 electrons in valence shell. </span>
Answer:
0.6743 M
Explanation:
HC₂H₃O₂ + NaOH → NaC₂H₃O₂ + H₂O
First we <u>calculate how many NaOH moles reacted</u>, using the <em>definition of molarity</em>:
- Molarity = moles / volume
- moles = Molarity * volume
- 0.4293 M * 39.27 mL = 16.86 mmol NaOH
<em>One NaOH moles reacts with one acetic acid mole</em>, so <u>the vinegar sample contains 16.86 mmoles of acetic acid as well</u>.
Finally we <u>calculate the concentration (molarity) of acetic acid</u>:
- 16.86 mmol HC₂H₃O₂ / 25.00 mL = 0.6743 M
