From the given situations, explain whether its solution requires a qualitative analysis, quantitative analysis, characterization analysis, and/or fundamental analysis. More than one type of analysis can be applied for some problems. 1. The Iloilo International Airport needs more reliable scanner for detecting explosive materials in luggage. 2. An oil spill in Barrio Obrero last July 2020 leaked around 250,000 L of fuel reached the neighboring towns and the island of Guimaras.
Rainwater is naturally acidic due to the formation of carbonic acid from dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2)(CO2). Atmospheric sulfur oxides, produced when coal is burned for fuel, can cause rainwater to become even more acidic. In some locations, pH values below 5 have been measured. Results of the increasing acidity include increased ocean acidification, slowed coral growth, and damage to marble statues. Balance the equations related to the acidification of rain by inserting coefficients as needed. If the equation is already balanced, leave it as is. equation 1: S+O2⟶SO2S+O2⟶SO2 equation 2: SO2+O2⟶SO3
Assuming the change of pH with respect to temperature is linear, estimate the pH of distilled water at 75 oC.
