Solution Summary
The solution calculates the amount of coal needed to yield the H2SO4 required to produce a 4.5 cm rainfall of pH 2.00 over an area of 100 square kilometers.
Solution Preview
pH = - log [H+]
rearrange:
10^(-2) = [H+]
10^-2 = 0.01 Molar
volume of water = 100 square kilometres = 4 500 000 000 ...
