Fossil fuel combustion increases the acidity of rain because _____.

1 answer:

4 0

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.

Liquid hexane

maks197457 [2]

Answer: The mass of $H_2O$ produced is 2.52 g

Explanation:

The number of moles is defined as the ratio of the mass of a substance to its molar mass. The equation used is:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ ......(1)

For hexane:

Given mass of hexane = 1.72 g

Molar mass of hexane = 86.18 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of hexane}=\frac{1.72g}{86.18g/mol}=0.020mol$

For oxygen gas:

Given mass of oxygen gas = 8.0 g

Molar mass of oxygen gas= 32 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of water}=\frac{8.0g}{32g/mol}=0.25mol$

The chemical equation for the combustion of hexane follows:

$2C_6H_{14}+19O_2\rightarrow 12CO_2+14H_2O$

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

If 2 moles of hexane reacts with 19 moles of oxygen gas

So, 0.020 moles of hexane will react with = $\frac{19}{2}\times 0.020=0.19mol$ of oxygen gas

As the given amount of oxygen gas is more than the required amount. Thus, it is present in excess and is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, hexane is considered a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of the product.

By the stoichiometry of the reaction:

If 2 moles of hexane produces 14 moles of $H_2O$

So, 0.020 moles of hexane will produce = $\frac{14}{2}\times 0.020=0.14mol$ of $H_2O$

We know, molar mass of $H_2O$ = 18 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Mass of }H_2O=(0.14mol\times 18g/mol)=2.52g$

Hence, the mass of $H_2O$ produced is 2.52 g

How many moles is 3.85 x 1025 atoms of gold?

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

64.17 Moles of Au

Explanation:

(atoms and particles are the same)

3.85 x 10 ^25 x (1 mol

/6.02 x 10^23)

3.85 / 6 = .64166

.6416 x 10^2 = 64.166

If you round up the answer you will get 64.17

64.17 moles of Au

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

butylphenyl ether.

Explanation:

The formula of the compound is:

CH₃ - CH₂ - CH₂ - CH₂ - O - C₆H₅

1. The functional group is of the kind R - O - R', i.e. two alkyl groups each attached to one end of the oxygen atom. That means that the compound is an ether.

2. One group attached to the oxygen group is CH₃ - CH₂ - CH₂ - CH₂ - which has 4 carbons and is named butyl group.

3. The other group attached to the oxygen atom is C₆H₅ - which is derived from ciclohexane as is known as phenyl group.

4. Using the rule of naming the subtituents in alphabetical order, you name butyl first and phenyl second, so it is butylphenyl ether.
