Which substance found in fossil fuels can form a harmful acid when the fuel is burned?

Answer is: sulfur.

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 acid:  

Balanced chemical reaction: SO₂(g) + 2O₂(g) + 2H₂O → 2H₂SO₄.  

pH (potential of hydrogen) is a numeric scale used to specify the acidity or basicity an aqueous solution.

When pH is less than seven (pH<7), solution is acidic.

<span>fossil fuels are mainly organic compounds.Combustion of fossil fuels also produces other air pollutants, such as nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, volatile organic compounds and heavy metals.so,substances which contain sulphur cause to form harmful acids like sulphuric and sulphurus acids</span>

Three mixtures were prepared from three very narrow molar mass distribution polystyrene samples with molar masses of 10,000, 30,
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

(a). 46,666.7 g/mol; 78,571.4 g/mol

(b). 86950g/mol; 46,666.7 g/mol.

(c). 86950g/mol; 43,333.33 g/mol

Explanation:

So, we are given the molar masses for the three samples as: 10,000, 30,000 and 100,000 g mol−1.

Thus, the equal number of molecule in each sample = ( 10,000 + 30,000 + 100,000 ) / 3 = 46,666.7 g/mol.

The average molar mass = [ ( 10,000)^2 + (30,000)^2 + 100,000)^2] ÷ 10,000 + 30,000 + 100,000 = 78,571. 4 g/mol.

(b). The equal masses of each sample = 3/[ ( 1/ 10,000) + (1/30,000 ) + (1/100,000) ] = 20930.23 g/mol.

Average molar mass = ( 10,000 + 30,000 + 100,000 ) / 3 = 46,666.7 g/mol.

(c). Equal masses of the two samples = (0.145 × 10,000) + (0.855 × 100,000)/ 0.145 + 0.855 = 86950g/mol.

The weight average molar mass = 1.7 + 10,000 + 100,000/ 1.7 + 1 = 43,333.33 g/mol.
