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.

antoniya [11.8K]

Product

Explanation:

Water in this reaction is called the product of the reaction.

The product is the new kind of matter formed as a result of a chemical change. They are produced from the combination of reactants.

                          2H₂  +   O₂        →        2H₂O

                           Reactants              Products

A chemical reaction involves the combination of chemical species to form a product. The type of reaction above is a called synthesis reaction.

What’s the reaction type of aqueous magnesium sulfate + aqueous sodium carbonate?
IrinaK [193]

Answer: Double displacement reaction

Explanation:

Double displacement reaction is defined as the reaction where exchange of ions takes place.

The salts which are soluble in water are designated by symbol (aq) and those which are insoluble in water and remain in solid form are represented by (s) after their chemical formulas.

The chemical reaction between aqueous magnesium sulfate and aqueous sodium carbonate is represented as:

MgSO_4(aq)+Na_2CO_3(aq)\rightarrow Na_2SO_4(aq)+MgCO_3(s)
