Answer:

In the case of Mount Pinatubo, the result was a measurable cooling of the Earth's surface for a period of almost two years. Because they scatter and absorb incoming sunlight, aerosol particles exert a cooling effect on the Earth's surface.

Answer: 10.2 grams

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction is :

$CaH_2(s)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow Ca(OH)_2(aq)+2H_2(g)$

According to the ideal gas equation:

$PV=nRT$

P = Pressure of the gas = 740 torr = 0.97 atm (760torr=1atm)

V= Volume of the gas = 12.0 L

T= Temperature of the gas = 19°C = 292 K $0^0C=273K$

R= Gas constant = 0.0821 atmL/K mol

n= moles of gas

$n=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{0.97\times 12.0}{0.0821\times 292}$

$n=0.48$

According to stoichiometry:

2 moles of hydrogen are generated by = 1 mole of $CaH_2$

Thus 0.48 moles of hydrogen are generated by = $\frac{1}{2}\times 0.48=0.24$ moles of $CaH_2$

Mass of $CaH_2=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.24mol\times 42g/mol=10.2g$

Thus 10.2 grams of $CaH_2$ are needed to generate 12.0 L of hydrogen gas if the pressure of hydrogen is 740. torr at 19°C
