THE RAIN OR PRECIPITATION WHICH IS ACIDIC IN NATURE IS CALLED ACID RAIN. WET AND DRY DEPOSITIONS ARE THE TWO TYPES OF ACID RAINS.UNIVERSAL INDICATOR IS USED TO DETERMINE COLOUR CHANGE AND HOW ACIDIC AND BASIC IS THE SOLUTION.

Explanation:

The rain which is acidic in nature is called acid rain. It is a precipitated form that contains acidic components such as sulphuric acid or nitric acid. The acid rain is of two types i.)wet deposition ii.)dry deposition

Wet deposition means the acid rain will be of wet form. Dry deposition means the acid rain contains dust,gasses, rain, snow, fog and hail.

Sulphuric dioxide and nitric oxides mix with water, oxygen and other chemicals in the air and becomes sulphuric acid and nitric acids that mix with precipitation and fall on to the ground.the precipitation is said to be acidic when its ph is below 5.2.

The different polyatomic ions that form acids are H+ and SO4-2 and H+ cation and NO3- anions.

A universal indicator is a mixture of indicators which show a colour change in a solution, which interprets how acidic or basic a solution is. A universal indicator can be in paper form or present in a form of a solution.The colours from yellow to red indicate an acidic solution, colours blue to violet indicate bases and green colour indicates that a solution is neutral.

When electrolyzing copper (ll) chloride, what reaction takes place at the anode? What reaction takes place at the cathode?
klemol [59]

Answer:

Copper ions are reduced into copper atoms.

Cu²⁺₍aq₎ + 2e⁻ →  Cu₍s₎

Explanation:

During electrolysis,  the positive H⁺ and Cu⁺ ions move to the negative cathode and negative OH⁻ and Cl⁻ ions move to the positive anode.

At cathode, copper ions are preferentially discharged due to the low electromotive force required to discharge them compared to the hydrogen ion. The copper ions gain the two electrons lost by the chloride ions when the are discharged. (2 Cl⁻₍aq₎ → Cl₂₍g₎ + 2e⁻)

Thus the half equation is as follows:

Cu²⁺₍aq₎ + 2e⁻ →  Cu₍s₎

Aluminum, silicon, and oxygen form minerals known as aluminosilicates. How many moles of aluminum are in 0.900 moles of pyrophyl
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

There are 1.8 moles of aluminum.

Explanation:

To solve this problem we need to convert moles of pyrophillite (Al₂Si₄O₁₀(OH)) into moles of aluminum (Al):

  • In one mol of Al₂Si₄O₁₀(OH) there are two moles of Al.

With the above information in mind we can now <u>do the conversion</u>:

  • 0.900 moles Al₂Si₄O₁₀(OH) * \frac{2molAl}{1molAl_2Si_4O_{10}(OH)}= 1.8 mol Al

Thus the answer is that there are 1.8 moles of aluminum.
