Chapter 13, Problem 45E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A chemical reaction, showing the formation of sulfuric acid in the atmosphere is to be written.

Concept Introduction:

Acid rain is the result of air pollution. The harmful gases released from factories, vehicles, and power stations react with the moisture present in the atmosphere, in the presence of oxygen, and forms acid rain.

Gases, especially sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide, contribute to the formation of acid rain.

Usually the pH of acid rain varies from 4.0 to 4.6.

1: Write all the chemical reactions involved in the formation of acid rain from sulfur dioxide (SO2) and rain (H2O).
Write the overall balanced reaction equation to oxidize sodium cyanide using ozone (O3).
A 0.0665 g sample of aluminum metal reacts with hydrochloric acid to give 90.5 mL of hydrogen gas at 23 oC and an atmospheric pressure of 756 mm Hg. The hydrogen gas is collected over water. Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction between solid aluminum metal and aqueous hydrochloric acid.     Using stoichiometry, determine the theoretical yield of hydrogen gas (in moles) that will be produced by the complete reaction of the aluminum metal.       Refer to Table 1 and calculate the partial pressure of hydrogen gas.
