Understanding chemistry is important for all citizens, particularly people who wish to become political leaders one day

Achemical reaction (also known as a chemical change) produces substances that are chemically different from the starting materials. an example of a chemical reaction is the formation of water from hydrogen and oxygen gas. in a physical change, a substance changes its physical appearance but not its chemical identity. an example of physical change is the formation of liquid water from solid water, a familiar process called melting. physically, liquid water looks very different from solid water (ice) but the chemical identity, water, is the same for both. which of following changes that affect the composition of our atmosphere involve physical changes and which involve chemical reactions? oxygen gas changes to ozone during thunderstorms carbon dioxide is produced by the combustion of gasoline in an automobile engine. when coal, oil, and natural gas are decomposed in landsills they produce methane gas. freezing rain develops when a warm air mass overrides a cold air mass. fog forms from water vapor when the temperature drops below the dew point

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%
