We are told that KOH is being used to completely neutral H₂SO₄ according to the following reaction:
KOH + H₂SO₄ → H₂O + KHSO₄
If KOH can completely neutralize H₂SO₄, then there must be an equal amount of moles of each as they are in a 1:1 ratio:
0.025 L x 0.150 mol/L = .00375 mol KOH
0.00375 mol KOH x 1 mole H₂SO₄/1 mole KOH = 0.00375 mol H₂SO₄
We are told we have 15 mL of H₂SO₄ initially, so now we can find the original concentration:
0.00375 mol / 0.015 L = 0.25 mol/L
The concentration of H₂SO₄ being neutralized is 0.25 M.
The balanced chemical reaction:
K2SO4 + O2 = 2KO2 + SO2
Assuming that the reaction is complete, all of the potassium sulfate is consumed. We relate the substances using the chemical reaction. We calculate as follows:
7.20 g K2SO4 ( 1 mol / 174.26 g) ( 1 mol O2 / 1 mol K2SO4 ) ( 32 g / 1 mol ) = 1.32 g O2 consumed in the reaction.
Well partly yes because air pollution can happen when we burn fossil fuels, it can happen when we use vehicles and household/farming chemicals can cause air pollution so yes it is caused by humans
