When a nonmetal gains electrons, it becomes this type of ion.

Sulfuric acid (a component of acid rain) reacts with limestone (calcium carbonate) to produce calcium sulfate and carbon dioxide. this damages buildings and statues made of limestone. which solution of sulfuric acid will damage these structures more quickly? a. 0.001% b. 0.005% c. 0.010% d. 0.015%

Astudent is given a sample of a blue copper sulfate hydrate. he weighs the sample in a dry covered porcelain crucible and got a mass of 23.875 g for the crucible, lid, and sample. the mass of the empty crucible and lid was found earlier to be 22.652 g. he then heats the crucible to expel the water of hydration, keeping the crucible at red heat for 10 minutes with the lid slightly ajar. on colling, he finds the mass of crucible, lid, and contents to be 23.403 g. the sample was changed in the process to very light clue anhydrous cuso4. if there are again 100.0 g of hydrate, how many grams of cuso4 are in it? how many moles of cuso4? (hint: molar mass of cuso4 = 159.6 g / mole. what per cent of the hydrate is cuso4? you may convert the mass of cuso4 to moles.)

Predict whether the changes in enthalpy, entropy, and free energy will be positive or negative for the boiling of water, and explain your predictions. how does temperature affect the spontaneity of this process?
