D is the answer. A, B,C are absurd. Doing a little word right there.
Answer:
The acid will be neutralized overtime
Explanation:
The presence of the pyrites leads to the leaching of large amounts of sulphuric acid, however the basic carbonates neutralizes the acid according to the reaction equation;
CaCO3 + H2SO4 ---> CaSO4 + CO2 + H2O.
This will prevent all the deleterious consequences associated with the leaching of the acid in the abandoned coal mine.
Explain whether this is a chemical or physical change, and why. does it involve elements, compounds, mixtures, or pure substances?
If the process involves a chemical reaction then surely it is a chemical change where new bonds are being formed from the collision of the reactants.
Describe how many atoms are involved before and after. what do you notice about the number of atoms?
From the balanced chemical reaction, we see that we need 1 mol of N2 gas and 3 mol of H2 in order to form 2 mol of NH3.
Answer: Hydrogen molecules will have greatest average speed.
Explanation:
The formula for average speed is :

R = gas constant
T = temperature
M = Molecular Mass
Now putting all the values:



Thus average speed of hydrogen is 8 times the average speed of oxygen. Thus hydrogen molecules will have greatest average speed
Answer:
divergent
Explanation:
Plates move apart at a divergent boundary
