Answer is (A) - Acid precipitation.


Precipitation is falling down of condensed atmospheric water to the ground. The form of precipitation can be rain, snow and fog.


Acid precipitation means the falling down of condensed atmospheric water with acids. The pH of acid precipitation is lower than 5.5. Sulfuric dioxide and nitrogen oxides react with water vapor and cause acid rain precipitations.


SO₂(g) + H₂O(g) → H₂SO₃(aq)


2NO₂(g) + H₂O(g) → HNO₂(aq) + HNO₃(aq)

Power plants release sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere, where they combine with water vapor to form A) acid precipitation.
Acid precipitation is usually rain which is acidic from high levels of hydrogen ions (low pH).

It takes 60 mL of 0.20 M of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to neutralize 25 mL of carbonic acid (H2CO3) for the following chemical reac
Rashid [163]

It requires 60 mL of 0.20 M sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to neutralize 25 mL of carbonic acid (H_2CO_3), hence the carbonate ions concentration is 0.24M.

Given:

Reaction:

\to \bold{2NaOH + H_2CO_3 \to Na_2CO_3 + 2H_20 }

NaOH volume (V_B) = 60 \ ml  

H_2CO_3 Volume (V_A) = 25\ ml  

NaOH Molarity (C_B) = 0.20\ M

H_2CO_3 moles (n_A) = 1

NaOH moles (n_B) = 2

To find:

H_2CO_3 Molarity (C_A) =?

Solution:

Using the neutralization reaction:  

\to \frac{C_AV_A}{C_BV_B} =\frac{n_A}{n_B} \\\\

\to C_B = 0.2\ M \\\\ \to  n_A = 1 \\\\ \to  n_B = 2 \\\\ \to  V_B = 60\ ml \\\\  \to  V_A = 25\ ml

Calculating the C_A:

 \to \frac{C_A \times 25}{0.2  \times 60} =\frac{1}{2} \\\\\to C_A =\frac{1 \times 0.2 \times 60}{2 \times 25}  \\\\\to C_A =\frac{1 \times 2 \times 12}{2 \times 5 \times 10} \\\\ \to C_A =\frac{ 12}{ 5 \times 10} \\\\\to C_A = \frac{6}{5 \times 5} \\\\\to C_A = \frac{6}{25} \\\\\to C_A=0.24\ M

Therefore, the concentration of carbonic acid is "0.24M".

Classify each of the following compounds as an acid, base, or both. Be sure to answer all parts
hichkok12 [17]

Explanation:

According to Bronsted-Lowry an acid is defined as the specie which is able to donate hydrogen ions when dissolved in water.

For example, HCl \rightarrow H^{+} + Cl^{-}

On the other hand, bases are the species which are able to donate hydroxide ions when dissolved in water.

For example, NaOH \rightarrow Na^{+} + OH^{-}

A specie which is able to accept a hydrogen atom and also able to donate a hydroxide ion will act as both acid and a base.

For example, CH_{3}CH_{2}OH is able to donate a hydroxide ion and simultaneously can accept a hydrogen ion.

In CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_3, the hydrogen atoms are strongly held together by the carbon atoms due to the small electronegativity difference between carbon and hydrogen atom. Hence, it will be a weak acid.

On the other hand, CH_3CO_2CH_3 can loose a hydrogen atom or it can also gain a hydroxyl group. This is due to the electronegativity difference between oxygen and hydrogen atom.

Thus, we can conclude that following compounds are classified as follows.

  • CH_{3}CH_{2}OH - can be both acid and base
  • CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_3 - very weak acid
  • CH_3CO_2CH_3 - can be both acid and base

Which contribute to both chemical and mechanical weathering? Check all that apply. abrasion freezing organisms oxidation water
Irina-Kira [14]

The answer is organisms, oxidation & water. Organisms such as plants have their roots penetrate the cracks in the rocks. As the roots grow and become bigger they put mechanical pressure on the rocks and the cracks increase in size and the rocks are split. Additionally, organisms secrete organic acids, as wastes, that chemically react with minerals in the rocks hence causing weathering.

Oxidation is a chemical reaction that changes the property of minerals by makes them prone to weathering. An example is the oxidation of iron in the rocks to iron III oxide which is brittle.

Water participates in chemical reaction by dissolving minerals, such as limestone (CaCO3) from the rock hence leaving the rock porous and more predisposed to physical weathering agents.

Solid sodium metal reacts violently with water, producing heat, hydrogen gas, and sodium hydroxide. How many molecules of hydrog
asambeis [7]

Answer:

4.6 × 10²³ molecules:

Step-by-step solution

You will need a balanced equation with masses, moles, and molar masses, so let's gather the information in one place:

M_r:  22.99

          2Na + 2H₂O ⟶ 2NaOH + H₂

m/g:    35

1. Calculate the <em>moles of Na </em>

Moles of Na = 35 g Na × (1 mol Na/22.99 g Na)

Moles of Na = 1.52 mol Na

2. Calculate the <em>moles of H₂ </em>

Moles of H₂ = 1.52 mol Na × (1 mol H₂/2 mol Na)

Moles of H₂= 0.761 mol H₂

3. Calculate the molecules of H₂

6.022 × 10²³ molecules H₂ = 1 mol H₂

                Molecules of H₂ = 0.761 × (6.022 × 10²³ /1)

                Molecules of H₂ = 4.6 × 10²³ molecules H₂

The reaction forms 4.6 × 10²³ molecules of H₂.
