on acid rain as well as a focus on acid rain in eastern Canada. This report contains a very helpful basic background on acid rain as well as a questionnaire. It involves an annual report on the Federal-Provincial Agreements‚ sulphur dioxide emissions in the seven most eastern provinces‚ trends in acid deposition in the Atlantic provinces from 1980-1994‚ as well as acid precipitation in Kejimkujik‚ Nova Scotia. It also includes data tables‚ graphs and interesting facts concerning acid rain. INTRODUCTION

Abby Kong Acid rain on plant -Background information Unpolluted rain is normally slightly acidic‚ with a pH of 5.6. Carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere dissolves to form carbonic acid. Acid rain is rain that has been made acidic by certain pollutants in the air. Acid rain is a type of acid deposition‚ which can appear in many forms. Wet deposition is rain‚ sleet‚ snow‚ or fog that has become more acidic than normal. Dry deposition is another form of acid deposition‚ and

ACID RAIN Acidified particulate matter in the atmosphere that is deposited by precipitation on to a surface‚ often eroding the surface away. This precipitation generally has a pH less than 5and some times much lower depending upon the concentration of acidic components. Acidic deposition principally by the pollutant gases such as sulphur dioxide (so2) and the nitrogen oxides cause acidic deposition. The burning of fossil fuels‚ such as coal‚ forms Sulphur dioxide. that contain high quantities of

is slightly acidic because carbon dioxide in the atmosphere dissolves in the raindrops to produce hydrogen ions. Yet‚ normal rainfall is not considered acid rain. Acid rain is a form of air pollution in which airborne acids produced by electric utility plants and other sources fall to Earth in distant regions. The corrosive nature of acid rain causes widespread damage to the environment. The problem begins with the production of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides from the burning of fossil fuels‚

Introduction: Acid rain increases the rate of corrosion on statues made of certain material. The town council wants to build a statue that will not be affected by acid rain. In this experiment‚ three different types of rock are used on vinegar (acting as acid rain). The rocks used are marble‚ granite‚ and red sandstone‚ which are the most popular forms of rocks used to build monuments. Each type of rock will be submerged under 20 ml of vinegar in their own separate container. The pH of acid rain around 4.0

How Healthy is the Conodoguinet Creek? Acid rain and Eutrophication are the two main pollution in Central Pennsylvania. Acid rain is a bad type of rain whiles eutrophication is the process where water bodies receive excess nutrients. Our mission here is to determine whether the Conodoguinet Creek is polluted or not. My hypothesis before the experiments was if there was to be signs of acid rain and eutrophication‚ then it means the Creek is polluted We went to the creek

Acid Rain Webquest Name: ________Jacob Rough_________________________ Date: _____3/25/13________ Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are gases released by the burning of fossil fuels. These gases can react with water and oxygen to form acids. Normally‚ rainwater is slightly acidic. But the additional acid that enters the air when fuels are burned makes it even more acidic. Acid rain can have a harmful effect on fish and other wildlife and upsets the delicate balance

Acid Rain: The Southern Company (A) Problem Statement In 1992‚ executives at the Southern Company have three years to formulate a robust and complex strategy that will involve massive capital outlay and substantial modifications to processes and procedures as it works to comply with provisions enacted in 1990 to the amendments of the Clean Air Act‚ while simultaneously ensuring they remain sustainable and profitable. Analysis The Southern Company is an American based electric utilities

causes of acid rain are because of the emissions of sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides in the atmosphere. This is a result of pollution; sulphur dioxide primarily the result of industrialisation and coal fired power stations‚ and nitrogen oxides produced mainly due to car exhaust fumes. These either form wet or dry deposition‚ and the effects we can see today. It could be argued that once that the human race has used up all of the planets coal reserves‚ the problem of acid rain would disappear

REACTION PAPER ON THE FILM RAIN MAN (1988) SUMMARY: Well written‚ smartly directed‚ and sensitively performed‚ RAIN MAN depicts the one-sided relationship between two brothers. A self-centered Los Angeles hustler Charlie Babbitt (Tom Cruise) and the older Raymond (Dustin Hoffman)‚ a mentally challenged resident of a home for the mentally disabled. Charlie never knew of his existence‚ until the day he returns home from Los Angeles to attend his father’s funeral. He is enraged
