Answer:

The question is partially wrong. For spills of strong bases, such as sodium hydroxide, it must be neutralized with sulfuric or hydrochloric acid. Otherwise, for acid spills, neutralize them with sodium bicarbonate. The reactions are as follows:

Base spills: H2SO4 + 2NaOH → Na2SO4 + 2H2O

Sulfuric acid reacts with sodium hydroxide forming sodium sulfate and water.

Acid spills: H2SO4 + 2NaHCO3 → Na2SO4 + 2CO2 + 2H2O

Sulfuric acid reacts with sodium bicarbonate forming sodium sulfate, water and carbon dioxide.

Explanation:

For the destruction of strong inorganic bases such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH) they must be neutralized with a dilute solution of sulfuric acid or a dilute solution of hydrochloric acid.

For the destruction of strong inorganic acids such as sulfuric acid, they must be neutralized with an inorganic base such as sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3)

NAHCO3 <span>doesn't help basic spills. It's slightly basic itself. It's good for acid spills though. It's not a very strong base so any leftover NaHCO3 won't be a hazard.
I DONT KNOW about h2so4</span>

Lakes can disappear due to?
stich3 [128]

Answer:

Lakes can vanish due to natural processes and human activity. Bacteria break down lake species' bodies and release nutrients into the water when they die. Eutrophication is the accumulation of nutrients in a lake over time. Lakes and rivers all throughout the world have dried up as a result of rising water demand and a warmer environment. Overpumping of aquifers and excessive diversion of water from rivers.

What is the relationship between the internal energy of a substance and its particle movement?
ss7ja [257]

Answer: The closeness, arrangement and motion of the particles in a substance change when it changes state. Materials are a store of internal energy , due to the motion of particles and the chemical bonds between them. When a substance is heated, its internal energy increases: the movement of its particles increases.

Air is made up of different gases, such as oxygen, nitrogen, and car
tia_tia [17]

The correct option would be that oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide cannot react with one another.

<h3>Why air components cannot react</h3>

The components of atmospheric air, nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, etc., cannot react with one another because there is not enough energy in the atmosphere to set the reaction rolling.

For a reaction to take place, there must be enough energy to break the bonds in each air component. This is why the air components will not spontaneously react with one another, except during special events such as lightning and thunder.

The first step in the formation of all three products is the loss of the ots leaving group to give a carbocation intermediate. t
lina2011 [118]

The carbocation stabilized by resonance structure and thereby lowers the energy of the carbocation, hydrogen will add to the carbon in the double bond that produces delocalization of electrons.

<h3>What is carbocation?</h3>

A carbocation is a molecule in which a carbon atom has a positive charge and three bonds.

In general, electrons are stabilized by delocalization. The stabilization energy engendered by delocalization over more than two atoms is called the resonance stabilization energy or simply the resonance energy. The greater the extent of electron delocalization the greater the resonance stabilization.
