Where does acid rain occur?

Chemistry
1 answer:
vlabodo [156]4 years ago

<span>Acid rain is precipitation that contains high levels of nitric or sulfuric acid. Natural and industrial sources can release sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide into the atmosphere, leading them to combine chemically with oxygen and water to form their respective acidic molecules. These acids are then deposited through rain or dust depending on the climate of the region. While acid rain can occur anywhere in the world, it is prevalent in regions that have high industrial activity.</span>

What is the most significant chemical difference between triacylglycerols and glycerophospholipids that leads to their different
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

Triacylglycerols (triglycerides) are non-polar or hydrophobic molecules

Glycerophospholipids (phosphoglycerides) are polar or hydrophilic

Explanation:

Triacylglycerides (TGs) are esters synthesized by the esterification of three molecules of glycerol and fatty acid, and this is essentially by the replacement of the three hydroxyl groups on glycerol with three fatty acids. This removes the hydrophilic property from the glycerol molecule hence TGs are only soluble in non-polar solvents like alcohol and benzene, and TGs are therefore the storage forms of fats in adipose tissues.

Glycerophospholipids are formed by the addition of two hydrophobic fatty acid groups and one phosphoric acid (phosphate group) to glycerol (alcohol) leaving a hydrophilic head (phosphate end) and a hydrophobic tail (fatty acid ends). This amphipathic property of this molecule makes it a suitable molecule for membrane structures, especially of cells (lipid bi-layer), with an arrangement where the hydrophilic side interacts with the aqueous environment, while the hydrophobic side makes contact with the non-aqueous environment.

How many grams are in 0.5 moles of C10H16?<br><br>Please show your work for marked brainliest!​
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

68 g

Explanation:

Molar mass (C10H16) = 10*12.0 g/mol + 16*1.0 g/mol = (120+16)g/mol =

= 136 g/mol

m (C10H16) = n(C10H16)*M(C10H16) = 0.5 mol*136 g/mol = 68 g

n(C10H16) - number of moles of C10H16

M(C10H16) - molar mass of C10H16

The combustion of propane (C3H8) produces CO₂ and H₂O:
fomenos

Answer:

4.4 moles of water

Explanation:

Propane is C3H8. Is the chemical equation, you wrote C2H8 which is wrong. Type everything properly and give a check before finally posting the question.

The chemical equation that is given, is not properly balanced. The BALANCED equation would be

C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O

From this balanced chemical equation, we see that 5 moles of oxygen produce 4 moles of water.

5 moles of Oxygen → 4 moles of water

1mole of oxygen → \frac{4}{5} moles of water

5.5 moles of oxygen → (\frac{4}{5} × 5.5) moles of water = 4.4 moles of water

∴ The reaction of 5.5 mol of O2 will produce <u>4.4</u> mol of H2O. [Answer:]
