I'd say it is an element. It is not a compound, it doesn't do things on its own like us. It's an element like fire and water.

What mass of H2 gas (in <br> g. would be produced by the complete reaction of the aluminum block?
loris [4]

First lets calculate the moles of aluminum (molar mass is 27 gram/mol):

n = m/M = 14.9 / 27 = 0.551 mole of Al


According to the reaction between sulfuric acid and aluminum:

From 2 moles of aluminum ==> we get 3 moles of Hydrogen gas

so, let's do cross multiplication

0.551 ==> 0.551 * 3/2 = 0.83 mole of H2


So, from this reaction we got 0.83 mole of H2 gas

knowing that the molar mass of H2 is 2 gram/mol, the mass of the gas is.

m = n * M = 0.83 * 2 = 1.66 gram of H2

Driving cars lowers the pH of the oceans by _______.
Anna [14]

Correct answer: a. releasing CO2 that dissolves and forms acid in the oceans

The fuels used in automobiles release gases like carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen and sulfur. Carbon dioxide when dissolved in water forms carbonic acid. So, when the usage of cars is high, these emissions of carbon-dioxide into the atmosphere increase and this leads to the lowering of pH of the oceans as the carbon dioxide present in higher amounts in to atmosphere diffuses into the oceanic waters and form carbonic acid which makes the ocean slightly acidic.

CO_{2}(g) + H_{2}O (l)  H_{2}CO_{3}(aq)

Answer:

The correct answer is - C27H36N2O10.

Explanation:

C27H36N2O10 is the chemical formula of polyurethane foam which is a linear polymer manufactured by reacting polyols and diisocyanates​. Polyurethane foam is used as a thermal insulator.

It used as filling material for various walls such as partition walls inside your house, determines the maintenance of proper insulation. It is not an acidic material that will dissolve easily. It is used not just as wall-filling material but also for sealer and filling in furniture and carpets.
