Which gases contribute to the acid rain formation?

1 answer:

4 0

The main chemicals in air pollution that create acid rain are sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen (NOx). Acid rain usually forms high in the clouds where sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides react with water, oxygen, and oxidants. this mixture forms a mild solution of sulfuric acid and nitric acid

What is the frequency of an X-ray that has a wavelength of 1.5 x 10 -9 m? The speed of electromagnetic radiation is 3.0 x 10 8 m

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

2.0x10¹⁷ Hz is the frequency of the X-ray

Explanation:

We can find the frequency of a wave of energy from the wavelenght and its speed using the formula:

v = λƒ

<em>Where v is speed (For electromagnetic radiation = 3.0x10⁸m/s)</em>

<em>λ is the wavelength in meters = 1.5x10⁻⁹m</em>

<em>And f is the frequency in s⁻¹ = Hz</em>

<em />

Replacing:

3.0x10⁸m/s = 1.5x10⁻⁹m*ƒ

3.0x10⁸m/s / 1.5x10⁻⁹m = f

f =

Write a balanced half-reaction for the reduction of permanganate ion mno−4 to solid manganese dioxide mno2 in acidic aqueous sol

Svetlanka [38]

The half-reaction includes either the reduction or the oxidation reaction of the redox reactions. In acidic solution permanganate ion will react with hydrogen ion to yield manganese ion and water.

<h3>What are Redox reactions?</h3>

Redox or oxidation-reduction reactions are the chemical reactions in which the oxidation and the reduction of the chemical species occur simultaneously.

Permanganate (VII) ion is a strong oxidizing agent and gets easily reduced to manganese ion in presence of the hydrogen ion in an acidic solution.

The balanced half-reaction for reduction is shown as,

$\rm MnO_{4}^{-} \; (aq)+ 8H^{+} \; (aq)+ 5e^{-} \rightarrow Mn^{2+} \; (aq)+ 4H_{2}O \; (l)$
