Fossil fuel combustion increases the acidity of rain because _____.

Chemistry

aleksley [76]4 years ago
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 <span>acid:
</span>Balanced chemical reaction: SO₂(g) + 2O₂(g) + 2H₂O → 2H₂SO₄.

Four modes of sediment transport are:
netineya [11]
Here is 5


Dissolved Load - elements dissolved in solution

Suspended Load - very fine grained sediment such as clay and silt carried in suspension. The size grains that can be carried in suspension are dependent on the current velocity

Wash Load - a subset of the suspension load, extremely small particles (clay) that will remain in suspension independent of turbulence in the river

Saltation Load - particles that are temporarily carried in suspension but move by bouncing along the bottom
 
<span>Bed Load - sediment that moves by rolling or sliding along the bottom. These are generally the coarser grained sediments such as sand and gravel.</span>

A doorknob makes it easier for you to open doors because it is what type of simple machine?
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer: Wheel and Axle

Both of these work together to form a simple machine. You can't have one without the other.

If you try to turn just the axle itself, then you'll find it takes a lot of work. This is because the inertia of the axle wants to keep the object at rest. Also, you won't have a lot of torque due to the small radius compared to what a doorknob can offer.

Using a doorknob is like putting a (steering) wheel on an axle. This increases the radius and therefore increases the torque. You put in less work into the system and get more out of it.

What is the total number of hydrogen atoms contained in one molecule of (NH4)2C204?
Ber [7]

Answer:

=8 atoms

Explanation:

In (NH4)2C2O4 there are four moles of Hydrogen in the compound (NH4), but there two molecules of (NH4) in this compound.  That's what the 2 in (NH4)2 means, so multiply 4 x 2 = 8.

Hope this helps (:

(a) Given that Ka for acetic acid is 1.8 X 10^-5 and that for hypochlorous acid is 3.0 X 10^-8, which is the stronger acid? (b)
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

HOAc is stronger acid than HClO

ClO⁻ is stronger conjugate base than OAc⁻

Kb(OAc⁻) = 5.5 x 10⁻¹⁰

Kb(ClO⁻) = 3.3 x 10⁻⁷

Explanation:

Assume 0.10M HOAc => H⁺ + OAc⁻  with Ka = 1.8 x 10⁻⁵

=> [H⁺] = √Ka·[Acid] =√(1.8 x 10⁻⁵)(0.10) M = 1.3 x 10⁻³M H⁺

Assume 0.10M HClO => H⁺ + ClO⁻ with Ka = 3 x 10⁻⁸

=> [H⁺] = √(3 x 10⁻⁸)(0.10)M = 5.47 x 10⁻⁵M H⁺

HOAc delivers more H⁺ than HClO and is more acidic.

Kb = Kw/Ka, Kw = 1 x 10⁻¹⁴

Kb(OAc⁻) = 5.5 x 10⁻¹⁰

Kb(ClO⁻) = 3.3 x 10⁻⁷

The Kp for the reaction below is 1.49 × 108 at 100.0°C:
Anna007 [38]
Kp= (COCl2)/[(CO)(Cl2)]= 1.49 x 10^8

1.49 x 10^8= (COCl2/((2.22x10-4)(2.22x10-4))

COCl2= 1.49x10^8 x ((2.22x10-4)(2.22x10-4))= 7.34 atm
