Answers
Answer:
Sulfuric acid is sometimes referred to as the “king of chemicals” because it is produced worldwide in such large quantities. In fact, per capita use of sulfuric acid has been taken as one index of the technical development of a country. Annual production in the United States, which is the world’s leading producer, is well over 39 billion kg (86 billion pounds). It is the cheapest bulk acid.

Q18. There is so much oxygen in our atmosphere, that these high-energy ultraviolet rays are completely absorbed in the stratosphere. Ozone is extremely valuable since it absorbs a range of ultraviolet energy. ... Because of this "ozone-oxygen cycle," harmful ultraviolet radiation is continuously converted into heat.
Q19. Human air pollution is caused by things such as factories, power plants, cars, airplanes, chemicals, fumes from spray cans, and methane gas from landfills. One of the ways that humans cause the most air pollution is by burning fossil fuels.
