anastassius [24]4 years ago
5 0
<h3>Answer</h3>

The chemicals that acid rain contains can have damaging effects on objects like buildings, monuments, statues, and cars.

Its components can make paint to be peel, stone construction appears old, worn down which reduces the architectural value and beauty.

<h2>Explanation</h2>

Depending on how acidic the rain is, it can obliterate these constructions to a brutal degree.

First, components like sulfurous, sulfuric and nitric acids mix with air and rain. Then they react with calcite or calcium-based compounds in marble and limestone and dissolve calcite. 

The dry depositions of acidic particles contribute severely to the corrosion of construction materials, building paints, stones like marble, limestones and various type of granites.

Acid rains aggravate the life value of buildings and architectural structures.

If an individual proton has mass 1.007825 amu, and an individual neutron has mass 1.008665 amu, what's the calculated mass of a
german

Answer:

C) 237.96682 amu

Explanation:

The symbol for neptunium-236 is given as;

²³⁶₉₃Np

This element has 93 protons and (236 - 93 = 143) neutrons.

Mass Number =Total mass of Protons + Total mass of neutrons

Total Mass pf protons = 93 * 1.007825 amu, = 93.727725 amu

Total mass of Neutrons = 143 * 1.008665 amu = 144.239095 amu

Mass = 144.239095 + 93.727725  = 237.96682 amu

Correct option is option C.

The given potentials are observed for a calomel electrode: E ° = 0.268 V and E ( saturated KCl ) = 0.241 V . Use this informatio
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer: The E for Silver-silver Chloride electrode = 0.287 V

Explanation:

Silver/Silver Chloride (Ag/AgCl) with a value for E° that is actually +0.222 V or approximately 0.23 V has the actual potential of the half-cell prepared in this way as +0.197 V vs SHE, (Standard Hydrogen Electrode) which arises because in addition to KCl, there is the contribuion of AgCl to the chloride activity, which isn't exactly unity.

Therefore, the E for the Ag/AgCl electrode would approximately equal 0.287 V

Discuss electrochemical principle about rusting of iron​
Levart [38]

Answer:

The electrochemical phenomenon of rusting of iron can be described as : At Anode: Fe (s) undergoes oxidation to releases electrons. Electrons released at anode move to another metal and reduce oxygen in presence of H+. It is available from H2CO3 formed from the dissolution of CO2 from air into water.
