Acid rain‚ or more accurately acid precipitation‚ is the term used for describing rainfall with a pH level lower than 5.6. This type of pollution is a matter of great debate currently due to the potential of its causing environmental damages all across the world. For the last decade or so acid rain has caused destruction to hundreds of lakes and streams in many parts of the world‚ including the US‚ Canada‚ and Europe. Acid rain forms due to the oxides of sulfite and nitrogen combining with the moisture

Sulfuric Acid is one of the the important chemical compounds. A Great amount of sulfur is mined all around the world and is used to produce sulfuric acid. Sulfuric acids being produced Sulfuric acid may seem like something to find in a lab‚ perhaps under the label “corrosive‚” and in some kind of tube that isn’t affected by it. But‚ in reality‚ it’s quite common‚ and is used often in the industrial business‚ for many different objects. Because of this‚ many places can often be judged upon their

P IntroductionThere has been a spill of concentrated sulphuric acid at the chemical plant where I work at as the Safety Engineer. In this report‚ I will explain what Sulfuric Acid is‚ the health risks and hazards associated with it‚ the safety precautions that should be taken and how the spill should be handled. Sulfuric Acid‚ H2SO4‚ also commonly known as battery acid or vitriol‚ is one of the top products in the chemical industry‚ with 40 million tons produced annually in the U.S. It is a colourless

this paper I will be talking about Acid rain in this atmospheric and the issues behind it. “Acid rain is also called acid precipitation or even acid deposition is precipitation possessing a pH of 5.2 or below primarily produced from the emission of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx; the combination of NO and NO2) from human activities mostly the combustion of fossil Fuels”(Butler and Likens‚ 2012) I will also comparing and contrasting the indoor air pollution tobacco smoke with acid rain

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

Assessment task 3 oral presentation summary Description of the experiment * Aim: To observe the reactions of sulfuric acid as an oxidising agent and as a dehydrating agent. Equipment: * 20mL of concentrated sulfuric acid * 20mL of 2mol/L sulfuric acid * 2 small pieces of each of copper‚ zinc and iron * Sandpaper * 10 test tubes * Test tube rack * 2g of sugar crystals (sucrose) * 2 wooden ice-cream sticks * 10mL measuring cylinders Steps: A: Sulfuric acid

1 in vapour state sulphur partly exists as S2 molecule which has 2 unpaired electrons in the antibondind pi orbitals jus lyk oxygen and thus exhibits paramagnetism. 2 An interhalogen compound is a molecule whose atom contains two or more different halogen atoms (fluorine‚ chlorine‚ bromine‚ iodine or astatine). Most interhalogen compounds known are binary (composed of only two distinct elements). Their formulas are generally XYn‚ where n = 1‚ 3‚ 5 or 7‚ and X is the less electronegative

What sulfur mustard is * Sulfur mustard is a type of chemical warfare agent. These kinds of agents are called vesicants or blistering agents‚ because they cause blistering of the skin and mucous membranes on contact. * Sulfur mustard is also known as “mustard gas or mustard agent‚” or by the military designations H‚ HD‚ and HT. * Sulfur mustard sometimes smells like garlic‚ onions‚ or mustard and sometimes has no odor. It can be a vapor (the gaseous form of a liquid)‚ an oily-textured
