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>

How do you convert from grams to moles?
ludmilkaskok [199]

Each element or compound has a molar mass, which is calculated by multiplying the atomic mass of each element by the amount of atoms of that element, and summing the results of each element. The molar mass is measured in g/mol. So you divide the mass in grams by the molar mass to get the amount of moles.

Example:

There are 5g of water.

Calculate the amount of moles.

The water's formula is H2O, so the molar mass of it is

2 \times 1 + 1 \times 16 = 18

g/mol.

The amount of moles is:

5g ÷ 18g/mol ~ 0.28mol

forsale [732]

The characteristics of wave are amplitude, speed , frequency and wavelength.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Amplitude is defined as the distance covered by the particles or molecules moving in a wave nature. So the maximum positive and negative peak position is termed as amplitude of the wave.

Every wave forms a series of crests and trough regions. The crest region is the positive amplitude while the trough region is the negative amplitude. The distance between two successive crests and troughs are termed as wavelength.

A single crest and trough forms a complete cycle. So the number of times a cycle is repeated for a given time is known as frequency. Speed is defined as the product of frequency and wavelength of the wave. In other words, speed of a wave is the rate at which the particles are moving a given area per unit time.
