Answer:

The acid will be neutralized overtime

Explanation:

The presence of the pyrites leads to the leaching of large amounts of sulphuric acid, however the basic carbonates neutralizes the acid according to the reaction equation;

CaCO3 + H2SO4 ---> CaSO4 + CO2 + H2O.

This will prevent all the deleterious consequences associated with the leaching of the acid in the abandoned coal mine.

When sodium peroxide is added to water, sodium hydroxide and oxygen gas is produced.
lukranit [14]

Answer:

The reaction combines the sodium with the hydrogen and oxygen in water to form sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas, and you get a lot of energy released as heat as well. This heat actually melts any remaining sodium that has not reacted yet, and ignites the hydrogen gas, so you get the bang and the flash.

The answer is (4) at the cathode, where reduction occurs. The Na+ gains one electron and become Na(l). So the reaction occurs at cathode and is reduction reaction.
