Calculate heat of solution for MgCl₂ using: ΔH(solution) = +2489 + (-1891 + 2×(-384)) = -170 kJ/mol. Practice with other compounds.

Discuss pollutants from fossil fuels: SO₂, SO₃, CO, NO₂ causing acid rain. Effects: damage to buildings, corrosion, acidification of lakes, soil leaching. CO₂ and hydrocarbons cause global warming leading to ice melting, climate change. Pollution reduction measures: catalytic converters, unleaded petrol, zero emission vehicles, alternative fuels.
Discuss safety precautions: ventilation for charcoal stoves (CO poisoning), not running engines in closed garages, proper gas cylinder storage, fuel storage away from populated areas, keeping away from fuel spills. Relate to local situations and accidents. Students identify potential hazards in their environment. |
