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>

A hiker seals a plastic bag that contains dried fruit before the climbs a mountain. What will most likely happen to the plastic
romanna [79]

From the ideal gas equation,

PV = nRT

where n is number of moles, R is Universal gas constant, P is pressure, V is volume,  and T is temperature of the gas.

The pressure and volume are inversely proportional to each other at constant temperature and number of moles.

Hence, on decreasing the pressure, the volume will increase.

As the hiker reaches a height of a mountain, the pressure would decrease which results in the reestablishment of equilibrium between gas molecules thus resulting in pushing of bag outwards.

Hence, the bag will expand as the hiker reaches the top of the mountain.

Consider two gases, A and B, are in a container at room temperature. What effect will the following changes have on the rate of
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

B: increase.

Explanation:

When we are considering two gases A and B in a container at room temperature .

We have to find the change on  rate of reaction when the number of molecules of gases A is doubled

Let [A]=a and [B]=b

A+B\rightarrow product

Rate of reaction

R_1=k[A][B]=kab

We know that concentration is increases with increase in number of moles

When the number of molecules of gases A is doubled then concentration of gases A increases.

Therefore ,[A]=2a

Rate of reaction

R_2=k(2a)(b)=2kab

R_2=2R_1

Hence, the rate of reaction is  2 times the initial rate of reaction.Therefore, the rate of reaction will increase when the number of molecules of gases A is doubled.

Answer: B: increase.
