dew‚ or dry particles. • more accurate term is "acid precipitation." • defined as any type of precipitation with a pH that is unusually low The Causes: • occurs when sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are emitted into the atmosphere‚ undergo chemical transformations and are absorbed by water droplets in clouds • then fall to earth as rain‚ snow‚ mist‚ dry dust‚ hail‚ or sleet. • Dissolved carbon dioxide dissociates to form weak carbonic acid giving a pH of approximately 5.6 at typical atmospheric
Premium Acid rain Carbon dioxide Sulfuric acid
acidification is the build up of hydrogen ions(H+)‚ reducing the pH‚ therefore the soil becomes too acidic. The donor can be an acid‚ such as nitric acid and sulfuric acid.The addition of the acids can be due to acid rain and pollution. Many nitrogen compounds‚ which are added as fertilizer‚ also acidify soil over the long term because they produce nitrous and nitric acid when oxidized in the process of nitrification. Acidification also occurs when base cations such as calcium‚ magnesium‚ potassium

Title: Acids‚ Bases & Buffers Objectives: 1. To understand the acid-base chemistry. 2. To prepare and evaluate a buffer system 3. To measure the buffering capacity of two types of isotonic drinks. Introduction: There are acid-forming‚ basic forming and neutral food‚ however the acid or alkaline properties of a food is unable to judge by the actual acidity of the food itself. For example‚ citrus fruits such as lemon are acidic‚ but they are alkaline-forming when we consume and digest it. Therefore

Different antacids 8. Side effects 9. Nursing implifications 10. Inference Abstract of the work under taken Antacids are medicines that neutralize stomach acid. They are used to relieve acid indigestion‚ upset stomach‚ sour stomach‚ and heartburn. Antacids are taken by mouth and work by neutralizing excess stomach acid. They contain ingredients such as aluminum hydroxide‚ calcium carbonate‚ magnesium hydroxide‚ and sodium bicarbonate‚ alone or in various combinations. Antacid products

Acid-Base Calculations The Ion-Product Constant for Water‚ Kw Water undergoes ionization to a small extent: H20(l) H+(aq) + OH–(aq) The equilibrium constant for the reaction is the ion-product constant for water Kw: (1) This is a key equation in acid-base chemistry. Note that the product of [H+] and [OH–] is a constant at a given temperature (Eq(1) value is for 25oC). Thus as the hydrogen ion concentration of a solution increases‚ the hydroxide ion concentration decreases

Recrystallization of Benzoic acid Chemistry 204-002 Date: 4/9/2011 Hector Ortega Recrystallization is a method used to purify compounds‚ and this is a very important procedure because compounds are naturally impure. Polarity and solubility play a big role in this experiment and these characteristics are exploited in order to have a crystallization of the desired compound. In this experimented benzoic acid was crystallize using ethanol and water. I chose these solvents based on part C of the experiment

Electrophoresis of Amino Acids Introduction: Electrophoresis is a separation technique based on the movement of charged ions under the influence of an electrical field. This technique is primarily used for the separation of amino acids and peptides on the basis of their charge. All amino acids contain ionizable groups that cause the amino acids‚ in solution‚ to act as charged polyelectrolytes that can migrate in an electric field. The amino acids with a net positive charge will migrate toward

9.1 Sulphuric Acid Sulphuric Acid is Manufactured in Industry 1. Sulphuric acid‚ H2SO4 is manufactured in industry through Contact Process. 2. The raw materials used are sulphur‚ air and water 3. The Contact process consists of three stages. Stage 1: The production of sulphur dioxide This can be obtained by two methods: 1. Burning of sulphur in dry air in the furnace S + O SO2 2. Burning of metal sulphide such as zinc sulphide or iron(III) sulphide in dry air. 2ZnS
