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

Acid rains can happen due to the emission of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide‚ which it reach to water molecules in the atmosphere to form acids. Acid rain is resulting from natural

What Causes Acid Rain? {2} {2} Acid rain caused by a chemical reaction that begins when compounds like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into air. These substances can rise very high into the atmosphere‚ where they mix and react with water‚ oxygen‚ and other chemicals to form more acidic pollutants‚ known as acid rain.{2} Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides dissolve very easily in water and can be carried very far by wind. As a result‚ the two compounds can travel long distances where

Acid rain is a rain or any other form of precipitation that is unusually acidic‚ i.e. elevated levels of hydrogen ions (low pH). It can have harmful effects on plants‚ aquatic animals‚ and infrastructure through the process of wet deposition. Acid rain is caused by emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides 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

water petri dish grew so well it started to lift the lid off the dish. The results from the Acid Rain (50% vinegar solution) did not allow any radish seeds to germinate. There were never signs of seed germination while observing the seeds over a three week period. In the petri dish labeled Acid Rain‚ 0 out of 10 seeds sprouted into plant growth as seen in Figure 5.2. The results from the effects of acid rain are compared on Figures 5.1 and 5.2.

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

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

We created the gases by bubbling each gas into the water to create the three acidic solutions we were looking for. Once that

rainfall is slightly acidic because carbon dioxide in the atmosphere dissolves in the raindrops to produce hydrogen ions. Yet‚ normal rainfall is not considered acid rain. Acid rain is a form of air pollution in which airborne acids produced by electric utility plants and other sources fall to Earth in distant regions. The corrosive nature of acid rain causes widespread damage to the environment. The problem begins with the production of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides from the burning of fossil fuels
Premium Acid rain Air pollution Sulfur dioxide
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
