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

solution of an acidic and organic compound and purify its respective acidic product through the techniques of an acid base extraction‚ recrystallization‚ and use of Melt Temp (melting point range). The reaction of an unknown acid (3-chlorobenzoic acid) with diethyl and sodium hydroxide was observed‚ and the solution naturally separated into an aqueous and organic solution. The mixture of acid and organic solution was created and then separated through the Hirsch funnel into separate beakers of an aqueous

Acid rain is a rain or any other form of precipitation that is unusually acidic‚ meaning that it possesses elevated levels of hydrogen ions (low pH). It can have harmful effects on plants‚ aquatic animals and infrastructure. Acid rain is caused by emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide‚ which react with the water molecules in the atmosphere to produce acids. Governments have made efforts since the 1970s to reduce the release of sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere with positive results. Nitrogen

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Amino acids bind together to form polypeptide chains‚ and these polypeptides fold and coil together into specific conformations to form proteins. There are 20 different amino acids‚ each amino acid consisting of four distinct partners. The first is a carboxyl group. A carboxyl group has very weak acids that are able to donate hydrogen ions to biological reactions. The second partner is the amino acid group. Amino acid groups act as the base which‚

Acid Rain Within this past century‚ acidity of the air and acid rain have become recognized as one of the leading threats to our planet’s environment. No longer limited by geographic boundaries‚ acid causing emissions are causing problems all over the world. Some laws have been passed which limit the amount of pollutants that are released into the air‚ but tougher legislation must be implemented before this problem can be overcome. Acid rain is produced‚ when automobiles‚ smelters‚ power

1999 Adipic Acid (98/99-3) Currently operating commercial production processes for adipic acid depend on the production or purchase of KA oil (a mixture of cyclohexanone‚ the ketone or K component‚ and cyclohexanol‚ the alcohol or A component)‚ or of pure cyclohexanol‚ and its subsequent oxidation in solution to adipic acid using an excess of strong nitric acid. This report deals with KA oil/cyclohexanol production by various routes‚ followed by the common step of nitric acid oxidation. KA

Folic Acid is a B vitamin‚ specifically B9. It is an essential nutrient required by the body to create healthy new cells. While we hear about it mostly in regards to pregnancy‚ it is important to understand that the need for folic acid goes even beyond this. Folic acid is essential for the body to create red blood cells which in turn prevents anemia. It is also plays an important role in the metabolism of homocysteine‚ an amino acid. The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for all men and women

| An acid is a chemical substance any of various typically water soluble and sour compounds that are capable of reacting with a base to for a salt‚ that redden litmus paper‚ that evolve hydrogen on reaction with various metals‚ that in water solution yield hydrogen ions‚ and that have hydrogen containing molecules or ions able to give up a proton to a base or that are substances able to accept and unshared pair of electrons from a base. An alkaline is a chemical compound that neutralizes or effervesces

Acids‚ Bases‚ and pH Lab In this lab the testing of whether or not a substance was an acid or a base occurred. Each substance was tested with the indicators red litmus paper‚ blue litmus paper‚ pH paper‚ phenolthalein‚ bromthymol blue‚ and phenol red. While the substances were tested the group noticed that the substances tested with the red and blue litmus paper‚ the phenolthatein‚ bronthmol blue were the easiest to interpret. The color changes that occurred when this indicator was put into a substance
