the world will blow up. people don't get it global warming is killing us and our children and our FUTURE life willbe gone for everyone. no more friends and family>>>>>>>>>>>


How easy would it be to convert rainwater to acid rain?

Converting rainwater to acid rain would involve adding pollutants like sulfur dioxide or nitrogen oxides. This process could be done relatively easily through human activities such as burning fossil fuels or industrial processes, leading to increased acidity in the rainwater.


What happens when copper reacts with HCL?

The reaction results vastly varies from the concentration of the hydrochloric acid. If copper is added to a solution of the dilute acid, no reaction would take place. If it is concentrated acid, it would form the complex tetrachlorocuprate(II) ion. The medium concentrated acids give off the intermediate products when forming the above ion.


The reaction between sulfur trioxide and water is called?

Dissolution of SO3 in water. to form sulphuric Acid. Industrially, sulphur trioxide is dissolved in sulphuric acid to form oleum. Oleum ( fuming sulphuric acid) is seriously nasty stuff. SO3 + H2SO4 = H2S2O7 The oleum is then slowly dissolved in water to form sulphuric acid of the given molarity(strength). H2S2O7 + H2O = 2H2SO4 It is done this way in order to prevent 'spitting and fuming'. added to which you form twice a mush sulphuric acid.


What is the correct name for an aqueous solution of HCl?

... carbonic acid Indeed, H2CO3 is called "carbonic acid." And you would think that since it is a weak acid, that there should be non-ionized molecules of H2CO3 in solution just as there are molecules of CH3COOH in a solution of ethanoic (acetic) acid. But that simply isnt the case. It has also been said that H2CO3 is an "unstable" molecule and quickly decomposes. Recent work has shown that in the absence of water, H2CO3 moleculs are quite stable. It is the pesky water moleucle that is the issue. H2CO3 molecules don't exist in aqueus solution. What we call "carbonic acid" is actually a solution of CO2 in water in equilibrium with H+ and HCO3-. CO2(aq) + H2O(l) <==> H+ + HCO3- ..... Ka is small Since the Ka for this equilibirum is small, the equilibrium lies far to the left, with CO2. Therefore, we see CO2 as the predominant species in a solution of "carbonic acid."
