Answer:

Explanation:

Natural Rain:

"Normal" rainfall is slightly acidic because of the presence of dissolved carbonic acid. ... The gases of sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides are chemically converted into sulfuric and nitric acids. The non-metal oxide gases react with water to produce acids (ammonia produces a base).Natural Rain:

If 125 ml of o2 gas exerts a pressure of 1.0 atm inside a cylinder, what will the pressure be if the cylinder compressed the vol

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: The new pressure is 1.67 atm.

From the statement, we know that the temperature remains constant and the gas volume is changing, meaning that the new pressure will be different than the first pressure.

Since the temperature remains constant, we can calculate the new pressure using the Boyle's Law.

The Boyle's Law states that:

$P_{1}V_{1}=P_{2}V_{2}$

Where,

P is the pressure of the gas.

V is the volume of the gas.

Then, the given information is:

$V_{1}=125ml=0.125L\\P_{1}=1atm\\V_{2}=75ml=0.075L$

Remember, 1 L is equal to 1000 mL.

So,

$125mL*\frac{1L}{1000mL}=\frac{125mL*1L}{1000mL}=0.125L\\\\75mL*\frac{1L}{1000mL}=\frac{75mL*1L}{1000mL}=0.075L$

So, calculating the new volume, we have:

$P_{1}V_{1}=P_{2}V_{2}\\\\1atm*0.125L=P_{2}*0.075L\\\\P_{2}=\frac{1atm*0.125L}{0.075l}=1.67atm$

Hence, the new pressure is 1.67 atm.

Have a nice day!

The rate of a reaction is measured by how fast a reactant is used up to how fast a product is formed.

bezimeni [28]

A. True.

Very true. The quicker or slower the reactants are used up the faster or slower the rate of reaction, and the faster or slower the products are formed, the faster or slower the rate of reaction.
