Explain how the combustion of coal results in acid rain

1 answer:

kupik [55]3 years ago

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.

All the substances listed below are fertilizers that contribute nitrogen to the soil.

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Ammonia is the richest source of nitrogen on a mass percentage basis because it has 82.35% of nitrogen by mass.

Explanation:

Percentage of element in compound :

$=\frac{\text{number of atoms}\times text{Atomic mass}}{\text{molar mas of compound}}\times 100$

(a) Urea, $(NH_2)_2CO$

Molar mass of urea = 60 g/mol

Atomic mass of nitrogen = 14 g/mol

Number of nitrogen atoms = 2

$N\%=\frac{2\times 14 g/mol}{60 g/mol}\times 100=46.67\%$

(b) Ammonium nitrate, $NH_4NO_3$

Molar mass of ammonium nitrate = 80 g/mol

Atomic mass of nitrogen = 14 g/mol

Number of nitrogen atoms = 2

$N\%=\frac{2\times 14 g/mol}{80 g/mol}\times 100=35.00\%$

(c) Nitric oxide, NO

Molar mass of nitric oxide = 30 g/mol

Atomic mass of nitrogen = 14 g/mol

Number of nitrogen atoms = 1

$N\%=\frac{1\times 14 g/mol}{30 g/mol}\times 100=46.67\%$

(d) Ammonia, $NH_3$

Molar mass of ammona = 17 g/mol

Atomic mass of nitrogen = 14 g/mol

Number of nitrogen atoms = 1

$N\%=\frac{1\times 14 g/mol}{17 g/mol}\times 100=82.35\%$

Ammonia is the richest source of nitrogen on a mass percentage basis because it has 82.35% of nitrogen by mass.
