"Why does acid rain affect lakes with granite beds more than lakes with calcium carbonate or limestone beds?" Acid rain contains sulfuric acid (H2SO4), to answer the above question you need to predict the chemical reactions that occur, and the products of those reactions in each case. 1. Determine if the chemicals involved are acids, bases, or essentially neutral. 2. Write the chemical equation for the reaction between acid rain and granite (SiO2). 3. Write the chemical equation for the reaction between acid rain and calcium carbonate/limestone (CaCO3) 4. Using the information from the chemical reactions you wrote, describe why lakes with granite beds are more susceptible to acid rain than lakes with: limestone beds.

An ice cube tray contains enough water at 22.0oC to make 18 ice cubes that each have a mass of 30.0 g.The tray is placed in a freezer that uses CF2Cl2 as a refrigerant. The heat of vaporization of CF2Cl2is 158J/g. What mass of CF2Cl2 must be vaporized in the refrigeration cycle to convert all the water at 22.0oC to the ice at – 5.0oC? The specific heat capacities for H2O (s) and H2O (l) are 2.03 J/g• oC and4.18 J/g• oC, respectively, and the enthalpy of fusion for ice is 6.01 kJ/mol.

One day in lab, while adding a gnarled root to a dark liquid bubbling in an iron cauldron, your friend Jina (an expert chemist) says this: "Group 2A metal hydrides react with water to produce hydroxides and hydrogen gas." Using Jina's statement, and what you already know about chemistry, predict the products of the following reaction. Be sure your chemical equation is balanced! SrH2(s) + H2O(l) ->
Conduct Internet research to learn how airbags work in automobiles. Take notes on your research. Then write one to two paragraphs explaining what causes airbags to inflate when a car is involved in an accident. Sodium azide (NaN3) is a substance that can be used to inflate airbags. An electrical impulse causes the sodium azide to decompose, producing elemental sodium and nitrogen gas. Write the balanced chemical equation for this reaction.

Reasoning: Why does reactivity increase down Group 1? Answer the following questions to help you as you type you response: - How many valence electrons do they have? -How does atomic radius change down the group? -As atomic radius changes, what happens to the electrostatic force of attraction between the valence electrons and protons? -What happens to the valence electrons as they react? What are the alkali metals trying to form?
