Answer:
Most acid precipitation results from the combination of <u>Sulfur Oxides and Nitrogen Oxides</u> with water in the atmosphere, forming strong acids that fall with rain or snow.
Explanation:
Acid rain is said to be that rain which contains high concentration of H⁺ ions. The main source of acid rain is the elimination of NOₓ (Nitrogen Oxides) and SOₓ (Sulfur Oxides) from different means in industries and other combustion processes on earth.
Examples:
SO₂ + H₂O → H₂SO₄
NO₂ + OH° → HNO₃
From above examples it can be seen that the sulfur and nitrogen oxides when reacted with water forms strong acids. These acids come along with rain water and causes different problems to living organisms and non living objects like buildings.
Answer:
The main advantage would be that with the pouring temperature being much higher, there is very little chance that the metal will solidify in the mould while busy pouring. This will allow for moulds that are quite intricate to still be fully filled. The drawbacks, though, include an increased chance defects forming which relates to shrinkage (cold shots, shrinkage pores, etc). Another drawback includes entrained air being present, due to the viscosity of the metal being low because of the high pouring temperature.
In order to solve this, we need to know the standard cell potentials of the half reaction from the given overall reaction.
The half reactions with their standard cell potentials are:
<span>2ClO−3(aq) + 12H+(aq) + 10e- = Cl2(g) + 6H2O(l)
</span><span>E = +1.47
</span>
<span>Br(l) + 2e- = 2Br-
</span><span>E = +1.065
</span>
We solve for the standard emf by subtracting the standard emf of the oxidation from the reducation, so:
1.47 - 1.065 = 0.405 V
