Question:

Researchers studying acid rain measured the acidity of precipitation in a Colorado Wilderness area for 150 consecutive weeks. Acidity is measured by pH. Lower pH values show higher acidity. The acid rain researchers observed a straight-line pattern over time. They reported that the least-squares regression line: pH = 5.3 - (.0053 * weeks) fit the data well.

A. According to the regression line, what was the pH at the beginning of the study (week - 1)? At the end (weeks = 150)?
B. What is the intercept of the regression line? Explain clearly what the intercept says about the pH of the precipitation in this wilderness area.
C. What is the slope of the regression line? Explain clearly what this slope says about the change in pH of the precipitation in this wilderness area.

A) If a 10.0 mL solution of "acid rain" is measured to have a pH of 2.75, what is the molar concentration of strong acid HNO3 formed? Hint: pH=-log[H+] and 10^-pH=[H+] is in molarity units. B) The total acid concentration (nitric + nitrous acid) of the 10.0 mL solution of "acid rain" is determined by an acid-base titration method. You add 5.00 mL of the titrant sodium hydroxide with a concentration of 0.0114 M to reach the endpoint. i. What...

One of the possible initial steps in the formation of acid rain is the oxidation of the pollutant SO2 to SO3 by the following reaction: SO2(g) + 1/2 O2(g) -> SO3(g) The reaction is exothermic, meaning that it is spontaneous at lower temperatures, but becomes nonspontaneous at higher temperatures. At what temperature does it change from being spontaneous to nonspontaneous? Molecule ΔHf (kJ/mol) @ 25°C S (J/molK) @ 25°C SO2(g) -296.8 248.2   SO3(g) -395.7 256.8 503 K 1052 K 98.7...
