Which pollutant is reduced by using low sulfur fuels?
sulfur dioxide and sulfuric acid
In the atmosphere sulfur trioxide will dissolve in rainwater to form dilute sulfuric acid This then falls to the earth as acid rain Is this process of forming dilute sulfuric acid product-favored?
Yes at low temperatures; no at high temperatures! If H° <0 and S° <0 then a reaction is product-favored at low temperatures but not at high temperatures.
What is more corrosive Sulfuric acid or Carbonic acid?
The "corrosiveness" of an acid depends mainly on two aspectsThe concentration of the acid - even the most corrosive acid is not dangerous at low concentrations e.g. 0.001 mol/LThe % ionisation of the acid - This determines whether the acid is a strong acid (100% ionisation of the first H+ atom) or a weak acid (significantly less than 100% ionisation of the first H+ atom) Sulfuric acids first ionisation H2SO4 + H2O ==> HSO4- + H3O+Carbonic Acids first H2CO3 + H2O HCO3- + H3O+With this information, and the fact that we know sulfuric acid is a strong acid and carbonic acid is a weak acid, sulfuric acid is more corrosive than carbonic acid (at the same concentration
What are the advantages and disadvantages of sulfamic acid as a descaler?
Advantages: ·Is safe to use as does not produce chlorine gas which can be toxic ·It has a low volatility ·It has a low toxicity · It forms water soluble salts of calcium and ferric iron Disadvantages: It is quite expensive compared to hydrochloric acid
What advantages and disadvantages of sulfuric acid?
the advantages is that it is in some of your foods and sweets and disadvantages it can burn you

Can a car take any kind of battery acid?
It is unusual to add battery acid to a car. Cars (not hybrids) normally use lead acid batteries and the acid is sulfuric acid, however you don't add sulfuric acid. When the fluid in a cell is low you add distilled water. Only the water has evaporated, the acid has not.
What is the chemical reactivity of graphite?
Graphite has an extremely low reactivity. Graphite can react with oxygen and sulfuric acid.

What is mining water?
Acid mine drainage is the low pH created by microorganisms convering sulfides and sulfates in tailing from the ore processing into sulfuric acid.

Why is soap considered a weak acid?
because it is low on the pH scale
What solution is most acidic but with a low pH level?
A low pH solution will inherently be acidic. 12.0 M hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid both are extremely acidic. highly concentrated high dissociation molecules make for very acidic solutions.
Why is diesel fuel removed at the bottom of a distillation tower?
Low volatility.
What kind of water comes in a car battery?
Car batteries are filled with sulfuric acid, not water. The battery fluids get "topped up" with distilled water if they get low.
