1. Ionization Constant of a Weak Acid
Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to learn and use the techniques of titration which would then determine the amount of acid in an unknown. Introduction: One of the most common reactions in chemistry is the reaction of an acid with a base. This reaction is called neutralization. In ...
A cid rain is formed when certain gases dissolve in rainwater to form acids. Acid rain by definition in the Chemistry book states: "Rainwater that has become excessively acidic because of absorption of pollutant oxides, notably SO3, produced by human activities"(1). There are airborne pol...
"What is Acid Rain?" You hear about it all the time in the news and it is very important to the earth's ecosystem. In simple terms, acid rain is rain that is more acidic than normal. All objects in nature have a certain level of acidity but acid rain has too much acid in it. Acid rain is a compli...
Acid rain is rain that is polluted. The pollutants go up to the atmosphere and when it rains, it brings the pollution down with it. Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide are the gases that form the acid rain. When these gases mix with moisture it can make rain, snow, hail, or even fog. The scientific te...
Review the effect of acid rain on the local distributions of fish and aquatic invertebrates. What are the biological reasons for the disappearance of these animals as pH falls? Humans produce about 160% of the natural emissions of sulphur. This is compared with about 5-10% in the case of carbon...
ACID RAIN ACID RAIN "Statues dissolving and guns rusting, children choking and soil becoming poisoned, trees withering, rocks blackening. And the trout float belly-up" (Pawlick 184). These are some of the disastrous effects caused by acid rain. In North America this cancer eats into the very hea...
