Concept introduction:
Acid rain:
Acid rain is a kind of precipitation which is acidic that it has more hydrogen ions. It affects buildings, plants and animals. It occurs due to emission of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide which reacts with water to form acid rain.
Molar mass:
- Molar mass of a molecule can be calculated from its molecular formula by taking the sum of
atomic masses of all the elements present in it. - Conversion formula for mass of a molecule into number moles,

Given,
Every year
The formation of sulphuric acid due to emission of sulphur dioxide is given as,
The reaction between acid (sulphuric acid) and statues (calcium carbonate) is given as,
The number of moles of sulphur dioxide is calculated to determine the amount of sulphuric acid formed.
Only
The number of moles of calcium carbonate destroyed per statue is determined as,
The number of statues destroyed by
(b)
Interpretation:

(b)
Explanation of Solution
The formation of sulphuric acid due to emission of sulphur dioxide is given as,
The reaction between acid (sulphuric acid) and statues (calcium carbonate) is given as,
Apart from sulphuric acid destroying calcium carbonate, it forms carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas which gets trapped in atmosphere and causes global warming.

The deadline of this is 1 hour from now. PLease help me. Thank you so much!arrow_forwardWhen in danger, bombardier beetles can fire a hot, toxic mixture of chemicals at the attacker. This mixture contains quinone, CoH.O2, a compound that is formed by the reaction of hydroquinone, CoH4(OH)2, with hydrogen peroxide, H202. The reaction is catalysed by an enzyme called catalase. The equation for the overall reaction is: CoHa(OH)2(aq) + Hz2Oz(aq) → COH4O2(aq) + 2H20(1) Use the following data to calculate the enthalpy change, in kJ mol, for the above reaction. CoH«(OH)2(aq) CoH4Oz(aq) + H2(g) AH = +177.4kJ mol H2(g) + Oz(g) H2O2(aq) AH = -191,2kJ mol1 Ha(g) + 놀O2(g) H20(g) AH = -241.8kJ mol H20(g) H2O(1) AH = -43.8kJ mol1 %3Darrow_forwardChapter #8, Question #10b: Discuss the possible effects of the following on greenhouses gas chemistry.
