Answer:
Most acid precipitation results from the combination of <u>Sulfur Oxides and Nitrogen Oxides</u> with water in the atmosphere, forming strong acids that fall with rain or snow.
Explanation:
Acid rain is said to be that rain which contains high concentration of H⁺ ions. The main source of acid rain is the elimination of NOₓ (Nitrogen Oxides) and SOₓ (Sulfur Oxides) from different means in industries and other combustion processes on earth.
Examples:
SO₂ + H₂O → H₂SO₄
NO₂ + OH° → HNO₃
From above examples it can be seen that the sulfur and nitrogen oxides when reacted with water forms strong acids. These acids come along with rain water and causes different problems to living organisms and non living objects like buildings.
Answer:
pH = 4.09
Explanation:
molarity of oxalic acid in the solution
= 0.1 x 25 / (25 + 35)
= 0.0417 M
molarity of NaOH in the solution
= 0.1 x 35 / (25 +35)
= 0.0583 M
H2C2O4 + NaOH -------------------> NaHC2O4 + H2O
0.0417 0.0583 0 0
0 0.0166 0.0417
now second acid -base titration
NaHC2O4 + NaOH -------------------> Na2C2O4 + H2O
0.0417 0.0166 0 0
0.0251 0 0.0166 ---
now
pH = pKa2 + log [Na2C2O4 / NaHC2O4]
pH = 4.27 + log (0.0166 / 0.0251)
pH = 4.09
Answer:
64.52 mg.
Explanation:
The following data were obtained from the question:
Half life (t½) = 1590 years
Initial amount (N₀) = 100 mg
Time (t) = 1000 years.
Final amount (N) =.?
Next, we shall determine the rate constant (K).
This is illustrated below:
Half life (t½) = 1590 years
Rate/decay constant (K) =?
K = 0.693 / t½
K = 0.693/1590
K = 4.36×10¯⁴ / year.
Finally, we shall determine the amount that will remain after 1000 years as follow:
Half life (t½) = 1590 years
Initial amount (N₀) = 100 mg
Time (t) = 1000 years.
Rate constant = 4.36×10¯⁴ / year.
Final amount (N) =.?
Log (N₀/N) = kt/2.3
Log (100/N) = 4.36×10¯⁴ × 1000/2.3
Log (100/N) = 0.436/2.3
Log (100/N) = 0.1896
Take the antilog
100/N = antilog (0.1896)
100/N = 1.55
Cross multiply
N x 1.55 = 100
Divide both side by 1.55
N = 100/1.55
N = 64.52 mg
Therefore, the amount that remained after 1000 years is 64.52 mg
