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

Chemistry

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>

An unknown diprotic acid (H2A) requires 44.391 mL of 0.111 M NaOH to completely neutralize a 0.58 g sample. Calculate the approx
Anna [14]

Answer:

M=235.42g/mol

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, given this is an acid-base neutralization and we are considering a diprotic acid, we can write the following mole-mole relationship:

2n_{acid}=n_{base}

It means that the moles of acid can be computed given the volume and concentration of NaOH:

n_{acid}=\frac{M_{base}V_{base}}{2} =\frac{0.044391L*0.111mol/L}{2} \\\\n_{acid}=2.46x10^{-4}mol

It means that the approximate molar mass of the acid is:

M=\frac{m_{acid}}{n_{acid}} \\\\M=\frac{m_{acid}}{n_{acid}} =\frac{0.58g}{2.46x10^{-3}mol}\\\\M=235.42g/mol

Best regards!

Why ammonium is not a molecular ion
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Ammonium (NH_{4}^+) is not a molecular ion because it is just a poly-atomic ion. A molecular ion has a "negative or positive charge" as a whole but the positive charge on here is not on the whole. So, it is a poly-atomic ion and not molecular ion.
