Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Now , we have the equation of the reaction as;

2H2S(g) + 302(g)------->2SO2(g) + 2H2O(g)

This equation shows that SO2 gas is produced in the process. Let us recall that this same SO2 gas is the anhydride of H2SO4. This means that it can dissolve in water to form H2SO4

So, when SO2 dissolve in rain droplets, then H2SO4 is formed thereby lowering the pH of rain water. This is acid rain.

1. Which of the following is a correctly written thermochemical equation?

WITCHER [35]

Explanation:

1. Thermochemical equation is balance stoichiometric chemical equation written with the phases of the reactants and products in the brackets along with the enthalpy change of the reaction.

The given correct thermochemical reactions are:

$Fe(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow Fe_2O_3(s),\Delta H = 3,926 kJ
$

$C_3H_8(g)+5O_2 (g)\rightarrow 3CO_2 (g)+4H_2O(l),\Delta H= 2,220 kJ/mol$

2. Phase change affect the value of the enthalpy change of the thermochemical equation. This is because change in phase is accompanied by change in energy. For example:

$H_2O(s)\rightarrow H_2O(g),\Delta H_{s}=51.1 kJ/mol$

$H_2O(l)\rightarrow H_2O(g),\Delta H_{v}=40.65 kJ/mol$

In both reaction phase of water is changing with change in energy of enthalpy of reaction.

The genetic material of all organisms;made up of two twisted strands in a double helix

viva [34]

Hello!

The genetic material of all organisms which is made up of two twisted strands in a double helix is called DNA (DeoxyriboNucleic Acid)

DNA is the basis of all genetic information. It contains all instructions for the development and functioning of all living organisms and some viruses. The main function of DNA is the long-term storage of information to build other cell components like Proteins and RNA. It is composed of two strands with 4 possible bases which are Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C) and Guanine (G).

Have a nice day!
