Explain how the combustion of coal results in acid rain

Chemistry
1 answer:
kupik [55]3 years ago
6 0

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.

Which methods would be suitable for determining the concentration of an aqueous solution of KMnO4? I. Visible spectrophotometry
Elodia [21]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Since the solution have an observable color, that means that it absorbs light in the visible region hence it can be determined by colorimetry. Secondly, KMnO4 is a reducing agent which can be titrated against an oxidizing agent and it's concentration accurately determined.

two people start out 100 meters apart from each other and start moving towards each other at the same time. One person is moving
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

1.332 meters per second. // 2.664 meters per second.

Explanation:

the slower person moved 33.3 meters, and the faster person moved 66.6 meters.

the slower person is moving 33.3 meters in 25 seconds, while the other person is moving 66.6 meters in 25 seconds

slower person moved 33.3/25 = 1.332 meters per second.

faster person moved 66.6/25 = 2.664 meters per second.

The process of fermentation involves chemical reactions that convert solid glucose (C6H12O6) into aqueous ethanol and carbon dio
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

C6H12O6 —> 2C2H5OH + 2CO2

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction is given below:

C6H12O6 —> C2H5OH + CO2

We can balance the equation above as follow:

There are 12 atoms of H on the left side and 6 atoms of the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of C2H5OH as shown below:

C6H12O6 —> 2C2H5OH + CO2

There are 6 atoms of C on the left side and 5 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of CO2 as shown below:

C6H12O6 —> 2C2H5OH + 2CO2

Now the equation is balanced.

Ascorbic acid, or vitamin C (C6H8O6, molar mass = 176 g/mol), is a naturally occurring organic compound with antioxidant propert
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

The quantity of ascorbic acid found in sweet lime of 49.6 mg does not meet the daily requirement.

Explanation:

To determine the mass of ascorbic acid knowing the number of moles we use the following formula:

number of moles = mass / molecular weight

mass = number of moles × molecular weight

mass of ascorbic acid = 2.82 × 10⁻⁴ × 176

mass of ascorbic acid = 496 × 10⁻⁴ g = 0.0496 g = 49.6 mg

daily requirement of ascorbic acid = 70 - 90 mg

The quantity of ascorbic acid found in sweet lime of 49.6 mg does not meet the daily requirement.
