Acid Rain is a type of air pollution‚ which is formed when oxides of sulfur and nitrogen combine with atmospheric moisture to yield sulfuric and nitric acids‚ which may then be carried long distances from a source before they are deposited by rain. This pollution may also take the form of snow‚ fog‚ or a dry form of precipitation. Acid rain is currently a subject of great controversy because of widespread environmental damage‚ for which it has been blamed‚ including eroding structures‚ injuring crops

Hydrochloric-Acid Written By Kahlil Zione Date:02/02/05 Abstract: We observed the reaction between zinc and hydrochloric acid and recorded it in a table and learned wether the percentage of zinc is effected by the amounts of both substances added to the solution. Introduction The purpose of this experiment is to determine if the amount of zinc and hydrochloric acid will effect the percentage of the zinc in the out coming solution. We are reacting zinc metal with hydrochloric acid to produce

The acid-fast stain is performed on samples to demonstrate the characteristic of acid fastness in certain bacteria. Acid fastness is a characteristic that is shared by just a few organisms‚ so staining to determine if organisms possess this trait is useful in microbial identification schemes. The Ziehl-Neelsen method has endured as a reliable and effective way to demonstrate the acid-fast bacteria. Materials: 18-20 nutrient hour agar slant culture of Staphyloccus aureus 4 day old nutrient

The effect on the pH of Distilled water‚ Potato Solution and Commercial Buffer‚ when Hydrochloric acid (0.1 mol/L) and Sodium Hydroxide (0.1 mol/L) is added Mahima Mandava Mrs. Haist September 23rd‚ 2014 SBI4U1 Background Information: The pH is the measurement of how acidic or how basic a substance can be. The pH scale is used to measure how acidic or basic a living cell can be. The pH scale ranges from 0-14; 0-6 being acidic‚ 8-14 being basic and 7 being neutral. There are many factors

Acids‚ Bases‚ and Buffers Introduction: The pH scale is used to determine how acidic or basic a solution is‚ ranging from 1-14. The most acidic of all acids are at a pH level of 1 and the most basic of all bases are at 14. The neutral pH level is 7‚ which is what drinking water is. The pH level is determined by the amount of H+ ions present in a solution‚ and the more H+ ions there are the more acidic it is‚ and the lack of these ions results in more basic solutions. One distinguishing feature

PRELIMINERIES Due to highly development of chemical and biochemical industries‚ acetic acid has largely produced to fulfil the needs of world demand in production of daily used products and for pharmaceutical needs. Therefore‚ this study is carried out to introduce the production of acetic acid using biological pathways which includes the used of microorganisms. In this chapter will briefly explained on the knowledge about acetic acid and the microorganism. The chemical and biochemical pathways of production
