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.

CO is a primary pollutant.
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

True

Carbon monoxide is a primary pollutant which no odor results from incomplete combustion of fuel. The man sources are gasoline and burning of biomass.

Depending on the source of emission, pollutants can be classified into two groups that is primary and secondary pollutants.

A primary pollutant is emitted in the atmosphere directly from a source. It can be either natural sch as volcanic eruptions, sandstorms or man-made that is due to industrial and vehicle emissions.  Examples of primary pollutants are nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and particulate matter.

Secondary pollutant is due to interactions between primary and secondary pollutants. These can be chemical or physical interactions. Examples are photo-chemical oxidants and secondary particulate matter.

Therefore, carbon monoxide CO is a primary pollutant.

Which option defines kinetic energy?(1 point)
MAVERICK [17]

The option which accurately defines kinetic energy from the choices above is:

the energy an object has because of its motion

The correct answer choice is option c

In order words, kinetic energy is that type of energy which a body or an object posess due to its relative motion.

<h3>What is energy?</h3>

Energy can simply be defined as the capacity of doing work.

Energy is a derived quantity; meaning that it is obtained from the combination of fundamental quantities.

The unit of energy joules.

Other examples of derived quantities just like energy too are:

  • Volume
  • Speed
  • Acceleration
  • Density.
  • Upthrust
  • Momentum
  • Momentum
  • Power
  • Pressure
  • Force

Below are some few forms of energy; these are:

  • Kinetic energy
  • Potential energy
  • Mechanical energy
  • Solar energy
  • Light energy
  • Chemical energy

So therefore, the option which accurately defines kinetic energy from the choices above is:

the energy an object has because of its motion
