Eichbauer IB Chemistry II – Period 6 16 February 2015 Investigation of the Effects of Acid Rain Background Information Acid rain is when there is a mix of wet and dry deposited material in the atmosphere that have higher levels of nitric and sulfuring acid. These chemicals formed can be from natural causes‚ like volcanoes and the decay of vegetation‚ or man made causes like fossil fuel combustion. Acid rain can be measured using the pH scale‚ and will always be on the lower end of the spectrum

Acids and Bases Mirza Hasan Mammadov Acids and bases are really important in our daily day life. So let’s start with telling the definitions of them. Starting with acids‚ they are a substance which dissociates in water in order to produce one or more hydrogen ions. Also we can write H+ instead of hydrogen ion. Bases have the same definition‚ although the difference is that it firm hydroxide ions instead of hydrogen ions. We can write OH- instead of hydroxide ion. All alkali is bases but not

The intent of this paper is to educate individuals about acid rain‚ define its chemical makeup‚ and describe its impact on the environment. Rain is an important part of all life; it is the source of water for almost everything. In some areas rain is actually a threat to life because of pollution from cars‚ factories‚ and power plants. This pollution releases gases into the atmosphere to create acid rain. Acid rain is rain‚ or any other form of precipitation that is uncharacteristically acidic

Advantages: Sulfamic acid is the fastest de-scaler - It dissociates into hydroxonium ions more readily in aqueous solution than the others‚ therefore giving a greater concentration of atoms that are able to react with the calcium in lime scale. It is safe to use because it does not produce chlorine gas [5]‚ which can be toxic. Sulfamic acid also has a low volatility. Disadvantages: Sulfamic Acid can be an irritant to eyes or skin and is the most expensive of the de-scalers. Q2) How these de-scalers

Chemistry Research Paper What is an anti acid? According to Cindy Quarters (2010)‚ “Antacids are medicines that are taken orally to help relieve sour stomach‚ heartburn‚ or acid indigestion”. This medicine is available without prescription but it is needed to take the correct dose. The different types of anti acids include calcium carbonate‚ sodium bicarbonate‚ magnesium hydroxide‚ aluminum hydroxide‚ and dihydroxyaluminum sodium carbonate. The cost of the anti acid will depend on how effective it is‚

Acid Rain and the Effects of our Monuments and Churches The two controlled experiments that I chose to do‚ do not involve trees or plants‚ which I think a lot of people will be doing. I wanted to explore the devastation that acid rain does to our historic monuments and beautiful churches. My first controlled experiment is based on the Statue of Liberty. It is made of copper so I am using pennies in my experiment. (nps.gov. n.d.) My observation is that acid rain corrodes metals

Acid Rain Air pollution is one of the most common outcomes of the combustion of fossil fuels. A common air pollutant that is released is sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. This is because when coal and fuels obtained from crude oil are burned‚ sulpur and nitrogen is released into the atmosphere‚ which is eventually joint with the oxygen in the air to produce sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide. When these gases are emitted in sufficient quantities‚ it reacts with the water and oxygen in the atmosphere

Acid Base And Salt Acid Acids:- The word ‘Acid’ came from Latin word ‘Acidus or Acere’ which means sour. Sour taste is the most common characteristic of acid. Acid turns blue litmus paper red. There are many substances which contain acid and hence taste sour‚ such as curd‚ tamarind‚ lemon‚ etc. Types of Acids:- Acids are divided into two types on the basis of their occurrence – Natural acids and Mineral acids. Natural Acid:- Acids which are obtained from natural sources are called natural

ACID RAIN Cantarelli‚ Ilaria García Díaz‚ Bianca Gressier‚ Emilie Martínez Rivas‚ Carmen What’s the acid rain? Acid rain is a rain or any other form of precipitaton that is unusually acidic. What causes acid rain? Acid rain is caused by the burning of fossil fuels. Burning oil‚ gas and coal in power statons releases Sulphur Dioxide into the atmosphere. Burning oil and petrol in motor vehicles puts nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere. These gases mix with water droplets in the atmosphere creatng

structures and properties of amino acids know the groups of amino acid What are amino acids? Amino acids are molecules that when combined with each other proteins. Amino acids contain a central tetrahedral carbon atom (α-carbon) amine group‚ carboxyl group‚ R-side chain The R-side chain determines the different amino acids There are 20 common amino acids Amino acids can join via peptide bonds Several amino acids occur only rarely in proteins Some amino acids are not found in proteins 3D
