    effects that acid rain has or does not have on seed growth and germination. The observation gathered from this experiment was that regular rain water that has a neutral pH is a better solution for seed growth. The seeds that were watered with the well water prospered more than the ones grown in the lemon juice solution. The results from this experiment were a little confusing‚ because in the first trial the seeds watered with well water germinated more than the seeds watered with the acid rain solution

    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 this is

    The 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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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 because of its acidity. Water has a pH of 7‚ but the acidity of normal rain tends
