Explain how the combustion of coal results in acid rain

Chemistry

Explanation:

When coal is burned the sulfur combines with oxygen and the sulfur oxides are released to the atmosphere. Sulfur dioxide (SO2) becomes sulfur trioxide (SO3) when reacting with oxygen in the air. This reacts with water molecules in the atmosphere to form sulfuric acid, a strong mineral acid. This makes rain acidic.

Calculate a reasonable amount (mass in g) of your unknown acid to use for a titration. You will want about 30 mL of titrant to g

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

"0.60 g" is the appropriate solution.

Explanation:

The given values are:

Volume of base,

= 30 ml

Molarity of base,

= 0.05 m

Molar mass of acid,

= 400 g/mol

As we know,

⇒ $Molarity=\frac{Number \ of \ moles \ of \ base}{Number \ of \ solution}$

On substituting the values, we get

⇒ $0.05=\frac{Number \ of \ moles \ of \ base}{30\times 10^{-3}}$

⇒ $Number \ of \ moles \ of \ base=0.05\times 30\times 10^{-3}$

⇒ $=1.5\times 10^{-3}$

hence,

⇒ $Moles \ of \ acid=\frac{Mass \ of \ acid}{Molar \ mass \ of \ acid}$

On substituting the values, we get

⇒ $1.5\times 10^{-3}=\frac{Mass \ of \ acid}{400}$

⇒ $Mass \ of \ acid=1.5\times 10^{-3}\times 400$

⇒ $=0.60 \ g$

How many moles are found in a 100.0-g sample of CuF2?

ivolga24 [154]

To determine the amount of a substance in units of moles from units of grams, we need to determine the molar mass of the substance. The molar mass is the mass of a given chemical element or chemical compound (g) divided by the amount of substance (mol). For CuF2, the molar mass 101.543 g/mol. We calculate as follows:

100.0 g CuF2 ( 1 mol / 101.543 g) = 0.98 mol CuF2
