What is the lewis structure for SiO2?
A test of an automobile engine exhaust revealed that 3.7g of NO2 was emitted in 10 minutes of operation. How many moles of NO2 would this engine release if it were used for a 45 minute commute, assuming that this measured number is representative of the emission under all circumstances
Scrubbers are a type of pollution control technology installed on industry smokestacks to capture sulfur dioxide before it is emitted to the atmosphere. Once collected, the sulfur dioxide can be used to manufacture sulfuric acid, which can be sold to other companies that make detergents. Explain how the use of scrubber technology benefits both industry and the environment.

Given that there 199967.8036 ton of CO2 can fit in a (hypothetical) mine, how would this value comapre to the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere?
Because carbon and silicon are both elements in group 14 on the periodic table, we expect them to react with other elements in similar ways. To some extent, they do, but in some cases, carbon and silicon compounds that seem to have analogous structures have very different chemical characteristics. For example, carbon tetrachloride, CCl4, is very stable in the presence of water, but silicon tetrachloride, SiCl4, reacts quickly with water. The unbalanced equation for this reaction is SiCl4 + H2O → Si(OH)4 + HCl Balance this equation. Write a conversion factor that could be used to convert between moles of SiCl4 and moles of H2O. How many moles of SiCl4 react with 24 moles of water? Write a conversion factor that could be used to convert between moles of Si(OH)4 and moles of water. How many moles of Si(OH)4 form when 4.01 moles of H2O react with an excess of SiCl4?

Ancient Romans built often out of bricks and mortar. A key ingredient in their mortar was quicklime (calcium oxide), which they produced by roasting limestone (calcium carbonate). 1. Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the O-0 decomposition of solid calcium carbonate (CaCO3) into solid calcium oxide and gaseous carbon dioxide. x10 Ar 2. Suppose 86.0L of carbon dioxide gas are produced by this reaction, at a temperature of 230.0 °C and pressure of exactly 1 atm. Calculate the mass of calcium carbonate that must have reacted. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
