describe the role of NO and NO\(_2\) in the formation of acid rain both directly and in their catalytic role in the oxidation of atmospheric sulfur dioxide
explain the origin of pressure in a gas in terms of collisions between gas molecules and the wall of the container
recall the reactions by which carboxylic acids can be produced: (a) oxidation of primary alcohols and aldehydes with acidified \( K_2Cr_2O_7 \) or acidified \( KMnO_4 \) and refluxing (b) hydrolysis of nitriles with dilute acid or dilute alkali followed by acidification (c) hydrolysis of esters with dilute acid or dilute alkali and heat followed by acidification
