Thiobacillusthiooxidans are the type of aerobic bacteria that are capable of oxidizing sulfur-bearing compounds to sulfuric acid. Correct Answer True

Thiobacillusthiooxidans are the type of aerobic bacteria that are capable of oxidizing elemental sulfur and sulfur-bearing compounds to sulfuric acid. 2S+3O2+2H2O==>2H2SO4 is the general chemical reaction of sulfur-oxidizing bacteria.

A laboratory teacher had 1.5 litres of concentrated sulfuric acid. She replaces concentrated sulfuric acid with water after every class till the carton is empty. One student needs 10 ml of sulfuric acid mixture in every class. First class had 20 students and since then all other classes observed 10 students. Calculate total quantity of water with which mixture of sulfuric acid and water is replaced till carton is empty. Note 1.5 litres of concentrated sulfuric acid had 90% sulfuric acid and rest water
Solution-1 containing 30% sulfuric acid flowing at the rate 10 Kg/min combines with Solution-2 containing 20% sulfuric acid flowing at the rate 5 Kg/min, if their product is out at the rate 20 Kg/min what is the percentage of sulfuric acid in the product?
In a batch process, the reaction takes place in the presence of an acid medium. The acid is drained from the reaction vessel at the rate of 15ml/s as a result of the density difference of the acid from the reacting component. To avoid wastage of acid, it is recycled to an acid tank which has 1000 L capacity. The acid drained from the reaction vessel, picks up 50 g/L solids from the reactor. Acid is fed once again to the process from acid tank. When the process is started, the acid is almost pure in the tank as a result of filtration. As the reaction proceeds, acid in the tank gets more and more contaminated with the solids. The concentration of the solids should not exceed 100 g/L from the process point of view. The batch time is 16h. Estimate whether the concentration of the solids will exceed 100g/L during the batch reaction.

Acid rain is any form of precipitation with high levels of nitric and sulfuric acids. It can also occurs in the form of snow,fog and tiny bits of dry materials that settle on the ground. rotting vegetation and erupting volcanoes release some chemicals that causes acid rain but majority is because of the human activities such as burning of fossil fuels, factories and auto mobiles. Acid rain has many ecological effects, few of which are given below. Which of the following, if true, would weaken the conclusion about the effects of acid rain on the environment? 
Sulfurous acid is a weak acid, while sulfuric acid is a much stronger acid because
